Would it be better than waiting in her country as your spouse?

She's in a different country for school then her home country so right now she has nobody and here she would have her sister

Can she accompany you to the place of your assignment ? Marry ASAP , file for spouse visa ,by the time the visa is processed your 12 month assignment will be done .. move back to the US together .. she gets the GC at entry .. no adjustment of status needed. 😁

It's a two-year assignment with six-month turnaround trips 4 week and I will also have vacation weeks so of course she could come and the country I'm going to is France by the way

But I don't know what kind of visa she would need to stay with me there that long

I think there is a form I can fill out that will allow her to stay abroad with me while she's waiting on her adjustment or green card but I forget the phone number

Worth asking your employer about an accompanying spouse on the work visa

It’s a reentry permit .. but she would have to have a GC .. K1 through to GC is 15 to 18 months ..  and I’m just not sure how she would go at the AOS interview if she was in the US and you were visiting for short periods ...

I see. Thanks for all the answers and insight! I will speak with a lawyer soon and see what the official best option is but nice to hear and understand more from the community!

You’re a lot better off if you marry and she enters the US on an immigrant visa.

 

She could spend a lot of time over in France with you, especially if you’re on assignment with a US company.

Since that's not an option that I've researched do you know how she would be able to stay with me there after we married

I know she can accompany you on her green card.

 

We did that for awhile while I worked overseas.

Yes but doesn't she get a green card after a long period Of time? Marrying me doesn't grant a green card
