... which by the way thinking---it's really interesting you are jumping on this now, Steven. It's been on there since page 1 or 2 or whatever from yesterday.......L+N and I sorted it out....No one was pounded, chided or bullied......

Thanks for making my point...and if this isn't chiding, then I don't know what you call it.

Even though your " Good Advice" back up of the OP is ill advised in IMO--at least "own" your words.....Back peddling with the tide/ bandwagon and explaining yourself away shows weakness.

I think most people can distinguish between merely expressing an opinion and bullying somebody else for expressing theirs.

I agree with you. I made a mistake.

Honestly, the post made me uncomfortable and when I saw other people stating their true feelings, I felt like I should too.

I'm sorry.

Don't apologize, Laura. You are entitled to your opinion as well as anyone else on here. You are also entitled to change it.

Now that's good advice!!

This is the question I have-would the OP [ or did the OP] or his fiance go to the interview stating he /they would be using the 90 days as a sort of "trial" period? if so-it would make the letter of intent filed with the K-1 rather redundant, no?

The fact that the visa is good for 90 days pretty much implies a "cooling off" period was anticipated. Otherwise it would be more like 10 or 30 days. Remember that the K-1 dates back to the '80's. I don't know what the filing times were back then, but I'll bet you could get your "foreign bride" into the US within a couple months. Couple that with the fact that there was no internet to exchange emails and photos, plus the high cost of long distance, and you could be meeting someone at the airport who you fell in love with on vacation, but who you really don't know. So I don't think any interviewer would have a problem with the beneficiary saying at the interview that they were going to marry towards the end of the 90 day period. That's what it was designed for.

But that's not what you said at the beginning of this post...You said a " cooling off period"-go to the interview and say that.

You can bet your azz that if you said it was a ''trial period' or 'cooling off' period, that you'd never have gotten approved. I think you're being a bit semantical in nature here...because while it's not a problem to marry at the end of the 90, it's not designed for the purpose of 'cooling off'. I mean focking hell, your fiance just got here and you're gonna 'cool off'????

Don't use the 80s to justify marrying a stranger.

And btw, did you actually READ your letter of intent that you signed?

We're in tune as always, marra

BUt, even this very website VISA JOURNEY says the following about the K-1

May allow for a "get to

know your fiance better"

period before marriage,

since the visa is good

for 90 days.

So,.....lisa, why dont you send the owners of this forum an email and correct their erroneous ways of thinking?? (LOL). he he he. Sorry babe, but the writing's on the wall,..so to speak

Straight from USCIS....yellow and red emphasis mine

kthxbye!

As I already said, you are technically correct. I said that much already. You have to tell the government what they want to hear, rather than approach things with realism and common sense.

OBviously there are two points of view. There is the legal one as per Lisa's quote form the USCIS, and then there is the REAL LIFE point of view that is supported by most immigration atty;s and experts on the subject such as visa journey.com

So LIsa, will you be emailing the VISA JOURNEY owners to correct their erroneous info??? You can send them your picture link here with your evidence of what the USCIS says about it. Hmmmmm?? They may listen to you

Actually, I will...I don't think there should be any 'official' information on this site which contradicts the USCIS site. Whether or not E agrees will remain to be seen.

Thx for reminding me!
