Hello everyone!

I have quite a situation here.

I came to United States on Visa Waiver Program (VWP) on october the 30th. I got married to my US citizen husband on 20th november. Of course we don't want me to go back to my country but the last day that Im allowed to be here on Visa Waiver Program is 27th january.

What papers do we need to fill out and in what order to get K3 visa?

I understood that the first thing we need to file is I-130. Do I need to file Adjustment of Status with that?

And as we just moved here from Spain, he isn't working yet, so I don't know how we will be able to fill out the Affidavit of Support. He hasn't even done his taxes for 3 years because he has been away from United States..

Also I would like to know what will happen to me if I will overstay my Visa Waiver but I'll get I-130 filed before 27 january?

Im really confused and stressed, all the help is very welcome!!

Being out of the US doesn't exempt a US citizen from filing taxes. He/she has to report worldwide income. I guess he'll need to file late returns.

There are various options, mostly either the CR-1 spousal visa (you need to go back home, but can visit during the process) or Adjustment of Status (cannot travel for several months, only applicable in certain circumstances). K3 is not an option.

You mentioned "we just moved here from Spain"- was your plan to move to the USA? It is visa fraud to use the visa waiver program to come to the USA and stay.

At first that wasn't the plan, we just came to visit my husbands' parents. It just worked out this way that now we want to stay.
