The legal way to get into the UK, from what I've read, is even worse. One reason we decided to marry in the US and not the UK. Stupid things like having to have had lived together for 2 years and whatnot and silly loopholes. I was so gutted leaving my fiance that the security guard at the airport in the US had to console me as did the other passengers in the departure lounge. Literally sobbing and hyperventilating. NONE of us WANT to do it this way, but it's the right way. I for one couldn't handle the stress of worrying "what if", and knowing if I got caught then it'd be a lifetime ban. It's gutting and so hard, but in the long run, it is the right, proper way and not that long in the grand scheme of things.

When thinking about attempting fraud, as you are in this case. There is just one question and one question alone that you need to ask yourself.

ARE YOU BOTH OK WITH NEVER BEING ABLE TO LIVE TOGETHER IN THE USA IF YOU GET FOUND OUT?

k1 is total bullshit

It's not, many of us are now together thanks to the K1! it's maybe not the easiest or fastest path and has ups and downs but when you love someone, everything is worth it! for example here Anthony and Nancy, they are going to be together in two weeks for good! :D thanks to the k1.

Just be patient! those administrative processing are usual, one of my good friends got it for a J1 visa we were like what the heck? and six weeks later he got a call just stating that it was complete and that he could take his passport to the embassy in order to have his visa issued! I know this will happen to you! it's just that sometimes they need to check more in deep to ensure the safety of this country. Just be patient and the outcome will be good! you'll see! nothing to fear if all was done right :)

And for the OP yeah just follow the right thing you will be less stressed! the options are given! so no VWP with intent to AOS :bonk::)

Before you make a final call I would strongly suggest a consultation with an immigration lawyer.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
