    Nobody can predict of course, but the officers will always assume immigrant intent and I am not sure if they will consider your situation as enough evidence that you won’t just stay in the US. All you can do is try and hope for the best!
  2. Daphne .
    Not great probably, but no harm in trying.
  3. Daphne .
    What exactly are you asking? This is a very broad question, so can you clarify what you would like to know exactly?
  4. Daphne .
    You came to the right place because there are free guides here! Check the one for the K1 and also the one for the adjustment of status (required) for K1’s.

    USCIS has seen this construction before, so they might look at your case a little more closely, yes.

    Good to hear it all worked out! This is mostly because you filed for the correct visa this time if your plan was to immigrate to the US. Your other non-immigrant visas were denied because of (suspected) immigrant intent. Now the wait for the adjustment of status to be processed, make sure to have things to keep you busy while you wait for that because it might be a challenge not to be able to work or leave the US until you have the proper authorization.

    They will ask you about your relationship. When you met, how you met, how often you met in person, things like that.

    Why would your boyfriend propose right after the 3 month stay? You would be home again because you really shouldn’t have your return flight right on day 90. Make it an 85 day-ish stay to be sure you won’t accidentally overstay.

    Some red flags here.. What would you have to go back to the UK for? Based on what you wrote, I would consider you a very high risk of not leaving the US anymore.
  10. Daphne .
    But you mention a visit and immigration. Sure, I understand that you might want to visit her now that you know that she’s sick, but not sure why you brought up potentially immigrating through her. Why did she reach out to you out of the blue? Did she specifically ask you anything?
  11. Daphne .
    Doesn’t sound like a valid marriage anymore though? You’re only still technically married.
  12. Daphne .
    There is no rule that you can’t enter the US with the intent to get married, plenty of people do this (and so did I). It is the part where people have the intent to just stay (adjust status) that is the issue. But to answer your question: as long as you both keep strong ties to the UK, there shouldn’t really be any issues visiting on an Esta.
  13. Daphne .
    A few options here: she tries harder to find a joint sponsor, you wait until she completes her studies and has held a paying job for a few years, she moves to your country.
  14. Daphne .
    Sounds like for you as a couple the CR1 (spousal visa) is the best choice. Get married and start this process as soon as you have the marriage certificate. She will complete the process in Canada, and visiting the US while it’s processing is possible.

    If the I-129f gets approved before the I-130 (which will very likely not happen) you’ll still have to do the adjustment of status process in the US. This means that you won’t be able to work or leave the US until you have authorization. Huge downside of the K3, so I’d just stick to your I-130 if I were you because the CR1/IR1 would be a nicer start to your life in the US.
  16. Daphne .
    Yes, you just wait. Not months, but probably closer to 2 years!
  17. Daphne .
    When did you file the K1? This must have been a while back?
  18. Daphne .
    CR1 visa all the way! Don’t just look at timelines, also look at the drawbacks of the K1 (the adjustment of status process) because that really isn’t a nice start to somebody’s new life in the US.
  19. Daphne .
    Yes to the stable job or yes to the age gap? That’s an important one too, that’s why I asked. Getting engaged on a first visit is very soon as well.
  20. Daphne .
    A lot of red flags here. High fraud country, getting engaged on first visit, very short relationship. Any other red flags? Big age gap? Does your girlfriend have a good (stable) job?
  21. Daphne .
    Good to hear that you didn’t have an issue but the warnings still stand because it is better to be safe than sorry I think. Here is a post on Reddit from an hour ago from somebody who actually did get their K1 denied due to a pre-wedding ceremony https://www.reddit.com/r/immigration/s/wT9wnygNPN

    This is an immigration forum, not a religious or (anti) vaccination forum and the experienced members here have a lot of knowledge about immigration so this is why they are here. The bottom line is that if you refuse vaccinations based on your religious or personal beliefs, it should not be very difficult to explain that part when you file for the waiver. Do you have a Plan B in case the waiver doesn’t get approved?
  23. Daphne .
    I am not bashing either, just trying to help but it looks like you’re not really interested in getting answers.
  24. Daphne .
    You say “there were no vaccines when the bible was written”, so that makes me wonder which part of the bible made people decide that they are against vaccines. That would be part that you can refer to if you want to apply for the waiver.
  25. Daphne .
    Very cute but no need to bring it. Bring some pictures or other proof of your relationship if it makes you feel more prepared but you will very likely not even be asked for any of that.
