Need some advice please! I would like to take my filipina fiancee to the US to get married in August of 2011. I am a US citizen employed in the Philippines, work here, without immediate plans to return to the US to live. However, I'd like that to be an option... The current plan is to file for a K1 in March (on a visit to the US), and to plan for a wedding in the US in late August 2011.
Do I have to file the forms in San Francisco when I visit in March and will the lack of a permanent residence (or job) in the US matter?
Can we both continue to live here in Manila (return to the PI after marriage) yet pursue a green card for her?
If we file for a K1 in March - what are the odds of getting a visa six months later (August)? Weddings take planning... and 6 months is a pretty short window.
Is there some other visa that makes more sense given our situation?
Really appreciate opinions! Happy New Year - Arthur...
