I thought when you file in you cannot reenter the US till you got the visa stamped on the passport. Correct me if i am wrong?

You can visit while the migration process is pending, many people on VJ have visited their spouses without problem, but there is always a niggling fear that one might get sent home at the POE.

WHat means VJ and POE?

Sorry

Time to read the immigration dictionary. Link at top of main forums page of VJ. (Visa Journey) POE is point of entry.

Your fiancee really needs to be here learning the process too.

Well, you won't be filing anything until after the marriage but she is the petitioner.

When we file i have to go back home and not gop back to see her until the process is ended?

Where will i have the interview? I mean Italy or US.

Do we both have to attend the interview in the same place?

Guys are being very helpful.

Is anyone suggesting to have a lawyer?

Same situation for my husband and I. He's a professional and cannot be out of work for 90 days 'waiting." We married 8/31/07 in Chicago, he flew back to Madrid. We filed CR-1 papers in October 2007, and we have just visited each other back and forth while we went through the process. His final interview is scheduled for July 9, 2008 in Madrid. Not too bad of a wait (for us).

So then to answer your questions above:

- Yes you can go and visit, since Italy is part of the Visa Waiver Program. However, bring STRONG ties to your homecountry when you cross the border into USA, because there is always a risk (very slight) of them turning you away. Things like a letter from your employer, calendar, mortgage or rent contracts, child support contracts, etc.

- Your interview will be at the American embassy in Italy

- No you don't have to both attend, but it probably shows more of a "bona fide" marriage, don't you think? I plan to be there for my husband's interview.

Hope this helps!

I am professional engineer working for a big US corporation.

I have strong ties to my home country. I have a mortgage and my job is based in Italy even if i travell around the world.

I think that's enough.

Thanks
