Hi VJ members,

Was wondering if you could help me out on this one. Well, my interview is scheduled for K1 Visa is scheduled on the 2nd of Oct. If all goes well, I expect to fly to US sometime around December. Now my question was, is it possible for us to get married while I am there within 10 days and then come back to Dubai for work?

The reason I ask this because I have heard that to apply for AOS it takes 30 - 90 days, etc etc. I was wondering if that process could be completed while I come back in Dubai. Currently have an awesome job here and local laws stipulate that she (fiance US citizen) cannot come down here and get married due to not having a Dubai residential visa.

What do you guys think? Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

No, you will not be able to leave until you have your Advanced Parole travel document. Leaving before you get that will mean you will need to start over and apply for a spousal visa, so don't go that route.

Do you plan to stay in Dubai or stay in the US? It sounds like you want to go back to Dubai. If that's the case, how come you are doing the K1 at all? :wacko:

No, a K-1 is a one-time use visa. If you leave before you marry, file AOS, and wait for it to be approved (4-6 months), then you will not be able to come back to the US unless you file for a spousal visa.

AOS for my husband
8/17/10: INTERVIEW DAY (day 123) APPROVED!!

ROC:
5/23/12: Sent out package
2/06/13: APPROVED!

K1 is single use. With your plan you would then have to go through a spouse visa petition with all the fees and interviews to enter the US again.

That was an option I was considering. Guys, thank you all for your replies. This will definitely help when I make my decision of whether to move or apply again from a spousal point of view. It's just that I have been hearing a lot about the jobs situation out there and related. Now, I do realize that if its meant to be it will happen.

The reason that I have to do the K1 visa is because my to be Mrs :), according to recent UAE law, is not able to come down to Dubai and get married (Both husband and wife need to have residential visa in UAE). If we decide to go the other route, we would probably have to get married in a third country or something :(.

I would not even in mind applying anew again as the financial and mental drag of the process is not an issue as long as she is here with me. Damn it decisions :).

But thank you all for your replies.

Couldn't you have come to the US on a tourist visa, married, and returned back home?

Hi Kristin,

No, I don't think that is an option. It's not legal anyways from what I have read. Correct me if I am wrong.
