Depends on where you live but here are the guidelines.  Household size is you, any children from a former marriage, and her.

It is also worth mentioning you need to be within the 125% of HHS Poverty Guidelines. Not just 100% for household size. That's why it says "For all other sponsors" in the 125% category.

OP hasn't mentioned military or not.

I agree, but then I’d have to fly, and the process time will be only 6 months or so difference. I might change my mind if I can find a reliable way of becoming unconscious and having a person to help escort me to the appropriate places.

As other users have stated: the marriage for the CR-1 can take place anywhere (US, Peru, or somewhere else). Your fiancé can enter the US with a tourist visa in order to marry you and then return to her country to initiate the CR-1 process. Check out thread below:

Okay, so it appears no exemption would be made. My gf is from Peru and I’m in the US, and we need to meet in person. Unless of course there’s a different kind of visa that would allow her here, but I can’t find anything. Seems overly complicated and stupid just for her to come to the US.

Stupid? You need to read about the San Bernardino killers. They met once, claimed cultural exemption to the rules (that apply to the rest of us), and then carried out their plan to murder Americans. No, it's not stupid or overly complicated. In fact, many people think it's too easy. Get on the plane or find someone closer.

True. But he also said he cannot leave the country for more than a week or two at a time for medical reasons. So I assumed he wasn't military. But I could be wrong.

Definatly not military based on their comments, I hate to say it but op may have a problem, there are medical remedies that He/she could take. Just looks like they are trying to skirt the system.

 

op you have bery good advice from alot of people, listen to a little of it.

In case you stull don't understand why it take so long for spouses or fiances to immigrate... 

 

It's for Your,  Their and the country safety. During the process they check your backgrounds and their background and also they check if your relationship is real. If not for those checks, US citizens with criminal background could bring foreigns for wrong reasons like trafficking. Without those checks, foreigners would be scamming citizens left and right, not to mention it would allow criminals to enter the country. Same reason why you need to provide proofs of your relationship and financial proofs. You said you don't make much. How are you going to afford your fiance AOS? It's 1.200$ and she will not be permitted to work for months, until after you file. 

 

So please get off your high horse, get over yourself and jump on the plane/boat whatever and visit her. Without that you don't even have a shot at any visa. She can't be sponsor by her family, she can't "accidentally" adjust from b2 visa either. Unless you want to be denied AOS, since USCIS will see that you have a relationship prior to her hypothetical arrival on B2 and scammed for her to arrive and adjust. 

 

Listen to experiences people giving you good advices.

Okay. I guess the only option is the k1 visa and meeting in the bahamas, then waiting a year. More of my life wasted on waiting on bs.

Join the club.  Most of us are/were in the same boat.  No one's situation is more special or different than the next person's.

For medical purposes I can’t disclose, I can’t leave the US.

I don't know about your situation but it seems that you are either a very confused individual or just not serious.  You suggested marrying her in Peru and then the Caribbean and turn around and say you can't leave the US. You even proposed what amounts to immigration fraud and then called the system "bs." (Which is offensive to those of us who have either suffered or are suffering through the process in order to do it the legal way). Further,  you haven't even met her yet and are already talking about marriage. 

 

The federal government won't play around with you. My suggestion is that you think things through and do plenty of research on the topic before you end up getting her or yourself in trouble for potentially trying to circumvent the system.

I can for only small amounts of time. Like a week or two at most, but I can’t disclose more. I will try this route.

He did say he can leave for small amounts of time. But I agree calling it bs can be offensive. Additionally, the OP may not be able to respond to our posts right now because new members have a posting limit that I believe lasts 24 hours? I'm not sure on the length of time it is for.

Date locally. There. Problem fixed. If you can’t deal with stress or anxiety, any immigration path is not for you. USCIS will laugh at you if you try to bend the in person meeting rule like that. If you can’t fly, find a local gf.

Mods, please close the thread. OP doesn't care about our advices and sends out rude personal messages.

I got one too.

Plus, he is just "laughing" at all of the replies from folks genuinely trying to help with their knowledge and wealth of experience with the immigration process.   Disrespectful.
