K1 Visa - advise needed please

[heathere 0]

Hi everyone

I am from the UK and my fiance is from the US. We want to marry and live in the US so have just begun the K1 Fiance Visa process.

In the meantime, I have given up my job, rented my house and in a couple of months I plan on flying out to stay with my Fiance for 8 - 10 weeks. Our hope is that we can continue to fly backwards and forwards to see each other for long periods while the Visa is in process. Neither of us has ever overstayed the visitor period and we do not intend to in the future.

My questions are

- will my travel between the UK and the USA affect our visa application in any way.

- can anyone let me know their experience of the time line for the UK to USA Fiance Visa process

- If we waited and applied for the Visa while I am actually in the US will I be able to leave the US to visit the UK (for 2 weeks) while the application is being processed

- Once a K1 visa is approved and we marry I understand there is a further two year period + more form filling before the application is finalised and everything becomes complete. Can I regularly leave & return to the US to visit the UK during this 2 year period?

Thank you so much for any help and advice you can offer.

You are able to come into the US on the VWP but under that program you are only allowed to stay max 90 days. The other thing to keep in mind is that typically you aren't allowed to be in the US more than 180 on a rolling year and you should stay out of the US as long as you've been in the US. So if you stay for 2-2.5 months and go back to the UK it's in your best interest to not try to come back before you've been in the UK for 2-2.5 months. Just keep that in mind while you are doing your planning.
