Hi

Im Swedish, my bf its american/english, have american resident and also brittish resident. He live in US and I in Sweden. I had plan to study in US, maybe on a tourist visa from january 2008. If we marry us in US next year when I student visa, can I stay and apply there for stay?

I had read that to travel to Us and marry on a VW/ tourist visa its not allow and of course we dont want a pllication to denied. What can be best for us? Need we apply and be away from each other 8 months on a fiance visa or can we process it on a tourist visa or student visa in Us.

Im very thankful for all help.

The other opinon its maybe to live in Europe, or.. /Kara

I assume by residency that your fiance is considered a US citizen?

You can marry on any visa, but you can only stay if you enter the country on certain visas. In order to stay after getting married on a tourist or student visa, you have to enter the country with no intent to get married. You have already made that intent clear, so you will have to use one of the K visas or CR-1/IR-1.

You can enter the country while any of those visas are processing, but you do have to go home for the interview, and your best not overstaying whatever visa you use to stay in the country.

K-1 is likely the fastest route, the time it takes depends on which service center your petition is processed, and how quick the embassy in Sweden is at granting interviews.
