Traveling from Indonesia

You can travel to Indonesia, get married there, and then petition for a spousal visa for her.  Or, in the unlikely event that she is approved for a B-2 visitor's visa, she could come here, marry you, then return to Indonesia to wait until the petition is approved.

 

Either way - approx one year till approval.

So if I did visit her there, marry her, and wait for her visa to here be approved, if worst case scenario she decided to divorce me, what would I lose in that situation?

You mean from an immigration perspective?  When you sponsor an immigrant and they come to the US, you are responsible for them under certain parameters, even if a divorce occurs.

So I’m going to make this short and sweet. I want my girlfriend that I met online to come to the US. We have never met in person before. What’s the best and easiest method to get her here? What should I expect and how long is the wait? We don’t even know where to start. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Did you post this same topic on Reddit?  If so then you were given very good advice on that thread as well. You would need to go there to see her and either get engaged or get married. 

 

The K1 visa is roughly 9-12 months until she can come to the USA. You two get married and then file for AOS for her. She will then can't work for 3-5 months until the EAD is in hand. 

 

The CR1 visa takes 12-16 months on average but you get ABC right away.

I actually did! 😂 Although I found out quite quickly that the Reddit community was extremely unhelpful.

Yeah they were more worried about the scam aspect of it. But I knew what you meant about her interning at the embassy. 

 

The very first thing you need to do is to visit her and see you two mesh well.

So she has an interview on Monday and used to work at the Consulate at some point in some position so should be aware of all the options, so asking you is odd?

Thanks man/woman, you are very helpful! But what is an AOS and EAD?

Please read the Guides (links atop VJ pages) and all associated threads.

 

Thread is moved from General Immigation Discussion to "What Visa Do I Need."

Read the guides.  Then come back and ask questions.

So I read through the guides, but it seems unlikely that she could ever get a K-1 to come here since we have never met in person.

Well that's why I said the first thing you need to do is to go there and see if you get along together. What is her education level and in what?

She just graduated with a 2 year degree in Strategic Business. Could be 4 years but I’m almost certain it’s 2.

Then more than likely she won't qualify for any higher level work visas. She can try a J1 or a H2b visa.
