Which is my best option?

[locazza 0]

Hello everybody.

I'm in love with a beautiful girl serving time in a state jail, she will be released in a year or so, we're planning to marry and live together since her release. Unfortunately she's married and divorcing and cannot sponsor me for a K-1 or something similar. I want to take care of her. I have my own company and I think I could open a new business or branch in the USA and be able to take care of her when she will be released, and after she divorces, marry her.

Which is my best option? E2, E1, L1, L2....? What do you recommend me? Do you think I'll need a lawyer?

Thank you!

If you have the money, the investor's visa is the way to go.

L won't work as you have no US branch to transfer to at this time.

Thank you for your response. My company is very small and the revenue marginal. I have a job and my company is just starting right now to do some money. How much do you think I need for open an IT business in US?

Yes, an absolute minimum of half a million dollars- more is better. That is just for the investment, the set up costs would be extra.

If your IT knowledge is extensive, you might be able to get a H1B from an employer such as Google or Microsoft etc to work for them, but that would likely mean abandoning your business.

You may be better off just having your fiance divorce her current husband )she can do that while in jail), and then marry and going for a spousal visa. Have you met in person yet?

But this is for huge investment green card. I'm talking about 2 years non-inmigrant visa for open a business in US. I think it's different.

I've spoken with a lawyer and make a business with a 2 year non-inmigrant visa is around 50k of investment.

Yeah, I visit her four times a year. We spend like 4 weeks/year in visit room holding hands. A lot of the COs known about our love story. We're crazy but live is crazy too!

sounds like an e2. Doubtful you'd get it approved for that low of an investment Edited January 13, 2016 by Transborderwife
