Is there such a rule that if I stay with my husband in his country for three months , he can come back with me to the USA!?

There is no such thing. The more time you spend together, the better it is to prove your bona fide relationship. Everything still have to follow the steps and procedures. No shortcut.

You mean without a visa?  No.

No.

 

Some countries have DCF available to drastically speed up the process, which generally requires 6+ months of physical presence and/or a resident visa.

See this for the list of countries: https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/international-immigration-offices

 

That said, DCF is going away (except in "extreme circumstances"). All the offices referenced above are slated for closure in the coming several months, and they typically stop accepting new petitions at around 60 days.

Edit: to be clear, the above combined requirements makes doing DCF now not a realistic option for you unless you already are living abroad.

No with a marriage visa petition!

It will take way longer than three months to get the visa.

 

What country is he in?

Hello thank you for the info! I am a US citizen living abroad filing for my fiancé in India.  we previously filed for a fiancé visa which didn’t get approved so I will go back and marry him then refile as marital visa! We already lost a lot of time so thought I’d i stay back with him for few months that may help our case

Why was it denied

 

NVM I remember you.  You were the couple who had the big ceremony and hit the “too married for K1” flag

They don’t talk us full reason but sent back to USCIS saying they have doubts on the validity of the relation. During interview they asked him if we were married. We are not married but he shared pics of engagement ceremony and they thought it was a marriage ceremony. Really strange why they would think that just because I was dressed up in traditional Indian clothes. 😕

I remember you now.  Corrected the post above.  You had the big engagement ceremony and it looked like a wedding.

So basically they can just doubt and send a case back to USCIS, it’s pretty devastating that on the basis of a doubt or feeling the consular can just refuse a visa. Makes no sense. I’m hoping when I refile they understand we we in a real relationship

Thanks for info! Not looking for a shortcut just hoping there was something to prove we are in a real relationship. I’ve had the K-1 visa sent back to USCIS as consular officer has doubt on validity of our relation. We were engaged and waited 1.5 years during the filing process only to hear this bad news So was hoping there’s something I can do to save time this time around.
