Definitely marriage , Hardship arguments can be more

convincing

It is my understanding (from what I've read elsewhere on VJ) that there is no way around a ban, you just have to wait it out and apply once it's done.

Others may be able to clarify, or provide a more comprehensive answer however.

Some bans are waivable one does not have to sit it out if spouse petitions them

while other bans one have to wait on the expiration date to send waivers in

I am in the same situation, same issue with my girlfriend now wife.You do not need to wait the 5 years. You will need a 601. I also recommend getting a attorney. Lizz Cannon is excellent.

hey how are you? hope everything is well. thank you for the advice. can I ask you some questions please...do you think it is a better chance of getting approved 601 (just incase she needs a 601) as a married couple, or will a fiancé visa be just as good? also as far as lizz canon have you used her? did your waivers get approved? I am from new York, many people are recommending lizz cannon, heather poole , and laura scott and I just don't know what attorney to work with. thank you and happy holidays !

thank you for your reply!! do you suggest getting engaged as a fince and then seeing what happens and if waivers are needed, or getting married and taking it from there? if waivers ARE needed (hopefully they are not), would marriage look better to the consulate to approve them? thank you so much and happy holidays

Why would she not have a ban?

Seems to make no difference as fas as success is concerned.

If a waiver is needed, marriage will absolutely look better. Also, the Consulates no longer handle waivers, they are processed through the Nebraska Service Center. The main premise of a waiver is to prove extreme hardship on the petitioner (legal US resident) not the one applying for the waiver. You need to prove why the legal US resident cannot live in their spouse's home country. If you are not married then there really is no way to prove hardship as you are not in a bonafide marriage. There can be other factors besides extreme hardship involved with waivers but it is all a case by case basis.

My advice, call Lizz Cannon. Do not even attempt a waiver without the help of a reputable Attorney. I hired an Attorney that was cheap and he ended up causing my wife and I a year delay in our visa and a lot of unnecessary pain and agony. In the end, I went with Lizz and she has been a HUGE help and we are well on our way to an approval.
