k- visa question

[ferjavi23 0]

hello,

I plan to marry my girlfriend in ecuador this coming june 2009, We estimate that it would be about 6 months until she recieved her k-3 visa however we do not want to be apart during these months so i plan to stay with her in ecuador until she can come to the USA.

I think this would be ok right?my only concern is in the i-134 affidiavt of support, I would need a co-sponser for sure i know that but the fact that i would be unemployed be any trouble?please help me out on this question

What you propose is fine, just keep in mind that you may be required to show that living in foreigh country was temporary, and that you did not give up US domicile.

Another option is CR-1, Compare timeliness, CR-1 takes a bit longer to get but has the big benifit of GREEN-CARD upon entry, NO ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS. K-3 CANNOT get SSN, WORK, or Get driver's license until they have EAD or Green-card, EAD can take 90 days or MORE to get.

K-3:

I-130: $355

I-129F: NONE

Consulate: $131

AOS: $1010

($1496)

CR-1

I-130: $355

NVC I-864: $70

NVC Visa fee: $400 ($355+$45)

($825)
