My fiancee is Ukrainian. We submitted the I-129F About 8 months ago and are still waiting on it. It is still in NVC1 stage.

Luckily she got out before the war started and we are currently together in another country, but unfortunately, our tourist visas are about to expire.

Can she fly into the US and seek asylum and then get married to me while having an I-129F in process?

So she got her B visa?

How does one just "fly to the US"????

No B visa. We would attempt to fly into a US airport without visa and say that she is here to apply for asylum status.

By telling people at the outbound airport that we are flying to US to seek asylum status due to war back at home.

Perhaps go to a Schengen Country, stay there for 90 days as visitors.

Which is the reason she would not even be able to board the plane without a already issued valid visa. If that plan was possible there would be millions of people from that area at the airport trying to get on flights to the US.

We can argue about numbers but if you look at it worldwide how many would just hop on a plane? Billions?

Couldn't we tell the airport official at the origin airport that we are going to the US to seek asylum?

Even if the fiance had a B2 visa, she/he could not legally enter the US as a visitor with the intent to stay and adjust status.
