My fiance is coming to visit me from Denmark. Once he gets here he wants to get a visa to work. Our wedding date is set for the summer but his visitors' visa will expire beforehand. I am in college and I am almost finish with my courses. He wants to help me save money for the wedding but I am not sure of the process to do so and how long will it take. Can someone tell me?

Did you do a K1 petition for him?

K1 denied, K3/K4, CR-1/CR-2, AOS, ROC, Adoption, US citizenship and dual citizenship

So, he is coming on a visitor visa to marry and work? I just want to make sure i understand

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

If he is planning on coming on a visitor's visa, getting married and staying, or even working - that is not allowed. It is considered visa fraud - using a visa issued for one purpose for another. He can come and visit but he can't work. He can come and get married but he can't stay. He needs to return home to Denmark after you marry and you would then sponsor him to return to the US as either a CR1 (green card holder) or a K-3. The other option is for you to sponsor him as a K-1 fiancee. He would be able to visit you, he would still not be able to work, you would not get married yet and he would return home for his interview and other parts of the K-1 process. When he received his K-1 visa then he could move here and you could get married. You would still have to file for permission for him to stay permanently and he would also have to apply for permission to work.

Marriage to a US citizen does not give you the right to live and work in the US - it only gives you a US spouse. Immigration needs to do the rest and they are very strict about doing things in the proper order. I hope this helps. It can be very confusing. Read up on the USCIS website ( http://www.uscis.gov ) about how to bring your fiance or your spouse to the US - they have lots of useful information.

One further consideration - it is very important that he doesn't overstay his visa - if he accumulates half a year of out of status time he will incur a 3 year ban from entry to the US.
