F1 to K3 visa

[Kaitmarie 26]

Hi! This is my first post so I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly! I guess I need some advice and guidance. My fiancé and I met 3 and a half years ago in the Dominican Republic. We started dating 3 years ago. We lived together in DR for a while then I had to move back for financial reasons. Then he came here on a student visa last May (2016) and has been studying English for over a year at a language program in Boston. He proposed at the beginning of august and we are very excited!! I am nervous however about the adjustment of status. Will it look bad that we were together before he came here? I heard a horror story of a couple that was denied and the husband had to go home for 2 years to complete the 2 year requirement for his student visa. Does that happen a lot?? Any advice we could get would be amazing! We will be getting married in September at a small family only ceremony at the spot he proposed

The J1 not the F1 have residency requirements.  You would not be seeking a K3 visa.

So what am I seeking? I thought it was a K3 because it will be marriage based.

No he'd be just adjusting status from the F1 visa.  Your fiance and you would get married and he would not leave the USA until he has at least advance parole (AP) and/or the green card.
