Well, USCIS 'says' you can't. That's why they won't issue a visa for the fiancé if the fiancée is still married.

Yes, that's more on the fact that they cannot fulfill AOS because they can't marry.  Not the fact that you cannot have a fiancé while married.

Legally probably so, logically how can you be engaged to be married and married at the same time?

 

Used to have a legal status in the UK but that was back in Victorian times, you could be sued for breach of promise.

 

A BF/GF etc has no legal standing.

Being engaged isn't a status that way.  Logically divorces take time and people move on.  My marriage was long over but the divorce held up by a bitter husband.  We got engaged anyways because we weren't going to let his anger get in the way of our happiness.

I could write a book on the misinformation posted on that site, not sure why it comes up removed, maybe one reason.

I have filled out multiple DS-160 forms though, and the fiance/e was always included in the options.

Like I say it has no legal standing, you get get engaged to your dog.

Right.  I never said that it had a legal standing

OK you do realize you took a sample form from the site that has "a lot of misinformation", right?

 

Do you have any immediate relatives, not including parents in the U.S.? ▲ YES Relative Name (1) : GUPTA , RAHUL Relationship to you: CHILD Status: U.S. CITIZEN

the drop down box for this question has 'fiance/e' as a possibility.

This is is memory serves correctly. What I quoted was all the questions as copied on the site where you got the sample form from

[Boiler 45,418]

Of course I used that site, amused me.

 

Immediate Relative has a meaning as far as US immigration is concerned. And by definition a Fiance is a prospective relative, not a current relative and certainly not an immediate relative. 

[DrEllaNJ 288]

then why is it on the DS160 form?

 

Again, I'm pretty sure I saw that drop down box. But I can't verify since I'm not about to file a DS160 form and can't find it anywhere but on the infamous site (I'm only pointing it out b/c it amused me too).

It is a long time since I filled one in, and only being on that site is a bit of a clue.

 

Think about it logically, you can be a Fiance one minute, not the next and again a minute later, means nothing.

Bottom line is nothing is stopping him (not you) from applying. He has to start with a school he wants to go to and be accepted. Depending on the school he will need to show in his bank account he can afford it. Some schools want to see at least 2 semesters that can be in the 10's of thousands. Just FYI.

 

As far as you buying a house in Nigeria has nothing to do with him and if and when he returns. Nigeria has a bad record of people not returning or suddenly finding love and dropping out of school.

obviously not cheap but if he has the money and can show a logical case go for it.

Agree. My former colleague from PH did applied for Student visa (was granted anyways) but he mentioned to me how his interview went. I did considered at some point taking my masters here in U.S.

The CO specifically ask how he was able to afford his education. What's his source of income. What's the math how he had this amount provided he is earning this and the CO went to check bank statements to prove that his money just didnt pop up from nowhere.

DS160 does indeed have "fiance" in the drop down for immediate relatives. I filled out 3 myself, and I recently helped my parents apply for their visas and remember it well.
