Was there something wrong with the answers you got in your last thread?

It would appear so.

The answer isn't going to change by starting a new thread.

Why did you bother with K1 then?

First, she might encounter problems when she comes back using VWP from Spain because the immigration people will find out the she applied and got approved for K1 visa.

Second, it will be harder to change status from VWP than K1 (although this can be done). That is only if she is successful with the VWP.

My suggestion: enter with K1, get married, adjust status, wait for AP or GC. Then go back to Spain and get citizenship. How's that?

Thanks, your suggestion is what we were thinking of doing, but she's concerned that she'll lose her right to Spain citizenship if she lives in the US.

That is a very valid concern. If you Google the requirements to become a citizen in Spain it says residence requirements must be consecutive. She really should check into it and get a solid legal answer if it is that important to her, instead on just worrying.

If Spanish citizenship was so important to your fiance, you guys should have delayed the US visa process until she had it. Best thing to do now is to use the K1 at the last possible moment, and hope the Spanish citizenship is through by then- or just forget about the Spanish citizenship.
