    is it permissible for an American citizen to marry a foreigner in her country, then submit an I-130 and K-3 visa simultaneously? If so, approximately what turn times would they be looking at?

    • @ckkashala
      @ckkashala Před rokem +1

      I was told takes 1 year for I-130 and 19 months for K-3 visa. Filling simultaneously sometimes speeds the I-130 process

    What is the minimum courting time ; i.e., the time that the couple must have spent dating, before submitting the K-1 or K-3 , that USCIS would consider for the marriage to be legit? About 6 months, I would assume?

    • @aquilajedi
      @aquilajedi Před rokem

      No minimum. But the application can take over 15 months and it doesn’t start until you’re 100% submitted.

    • @sinatraforeign
      @sinatraforeign Před rokem

      K-1 would require you 6-14 months USCIS approval before you could do the spousal VISA, which means you couldn't to the US at that time, and then work and stay in the US for 2.5 years with work permit for a greencard.
      while K-3 you needed to be married outside of the US, and the US spouse would file the documentations in the US and you could go to the US immediately, and work with permit and will receive the greencard 2.5years later.

So they said if we wanted to we could get married in my fiancés country and send proof off to them so they can speed up our process converting it to K3 visa.
