Yeah that sounds tough. I don't have any more advice, but best of luck to you!

I see how this might seem like a straightforward solution, however in my family it really isn’t. They would never approve of me marrying a resident non- Saudi man here let alone a white man that only speaks English and has never lived here. I basically have all ties cut with most of my family so it really wouldn’t work. We’re not on good ends. That’s why we’re planning on marrying abroad.

Thanks everybody for responding. The CR1 is definitely what would suit us better, I’m just worried about the question of “why did you get married after only spending such little time in real life together?” Or something like that. 

Hello!
first of all, I am sorry if my question is stupid but I have looked around and haven’t found much details. My fiancé is in the US and I plan to get married to him after we apply for a K-1. We have yet to do anything but I have a question!
since you need the women’s guardian to approve of a marriage in Saudi Arabia, does that also apply for applying for a K-1 (in Riyadh)? Would I need a guardian’s approval of the marriage?
Thank you
