Hi All,

First time poster here. Hopefully I can get a little bit of advice on what the best course of action is.

The situation:

I am engaged to a Malaysian citizen and we will be married early next year. She is a stewardess for Singapore Airlines and has B1/ B2 (Visitor) and C1/C2 (work) Visas. We don't want to get a K1 Visa since she would like to continue to work for another 6-8 months after we get married. This means that she would go back to being a stewardess with occasional trips to the US for her airline. She currently flies to the US about 3-4 times a year for work. I think that a K1 restricts your travel out of the country.

The question:

We would like to get legally married in January in the US. I have everything already planned out. If I file paperwork to start the K-3 process will she be able to go back to her job as a stewardess which entails work trips to the US? Would she be able to visit the US using her B1/B2? Are there other options for our situation?

Thanks for reading,

David

File for a CR-1 [i-130] MUCH better visa than the K3 by far. And yes she will still be able to come to the US.

Yes, I suggest the CR1 path as well. Once she has the visa and enters the US, her I-551 stamp and soon to be delivered Green Card, takes care of all work concerns. She'll have six months to enter the US after the visa is issued. Plan on a 9 to 12 month visa process after filing your I-130 petition. You must marry before you file the petition. Marrying in the US is no problem as long as she enters legally, but she will need the appropriate visa before immigrating/residing in the US. Visiting using her B visa should be no problem. The Flight Attendant uniform would be sufficient proof of ties to Singapore.

What I don't understand is how you're getting away with calling her a stewardess. :no:
