Is this an option for us?

[Krystina and Andy 0]

Hi,

I was posting on a K1 thread and several people told me to look in to DCF. I've looked at the rules, and I understand the basics, but I'm so confused as to what's the best option for us.

We want to be back in the United States by October 31st this year. This seems very unlikely as we would have to file through the TSC. I'm the USC, and my boyfriend is English. We live together in the UK, and I've been here for two and a half years. I don't have any property in the US. I have to leave the UK this October because I have LLR on a student visa. My question is this:

If we get married in the UK, is there anyway we can leave together before the end of October?

I don't believe that I will violate the terms of my visa if I marry a British Citizen. Even though I have LLR, if we get married, can I file the petition for him? It says on the website that you can't file if you are on a student visa. I know some people have said that even though they were LLR, they still were able to file the petition. What do you reckon? I've read so much today and am so confused.

Thanks,

Krystina

Nevermind, it's not really an option for us. It's all so hopeless.

If you go the I129F route you should be able to be in the US by October 31. It is currently taking 6-9 months to get everything approved. But again no guarantees. You will need a sponsor if you haven't been working, but as long as you have that it shouldn't be a problem.

Don't go off the deep end on DCF quite yet, particularly in countries that have a USCIS sub-office (hint: London). Give this a few days for them to sort out.

I'm going to send the papers tomorrow, and both my parents agreed to be sponsors. Thanks for that, I've been confused about the timelines. Seems like it was taking most people 12 months... we have a very uncomplicated case. Hopefully it will all go to plan. Thanks for the advice.
