If my girlfriend from Asia and I get married when she's here visiting for tourism, and she returns home so we can do the CR1 process, will the USCIS in the interview question why we got married using a tourist VISA? My girlfriend thought about this and has been in constant worry because she doesn't understand how the U.S. does things and I just want to calm her worry about this. Does anyone have experience with this and what the USCIS actually asks / looks for during the interview? And would they question about what I mentioned?

Thank you so much for taking the time with an in-depth reply. To calm my partner's fears, when we do marry on a tourist visa, and she returns home so we can start the CR1 process -- she's worried that in the interview they are going to ask us why we used the tourist visa to get married. She doesn't wish to get deported or banned from the U.S. before we even start our lives. These are just fears of a foreigner that doesn't understand the process, and I being a citizen just don't know, so I'm looking for anyone that understand this better. I figured as long as we do the CR1 it'll be fine, but I'm not 100% positive if doing the tourist visa won't get any questioning of us. Any more advice would be appreciated if you have the time. Thanks again.

Good to hear! I'm asking others this as well, but my partner is worried they will ask later in the interview why you didn't use a K1 to get married and used the Tourist VISA instead. She doesn't want to get in trouble. As a foreigner she is just unfamiliar with how the U.S. does things and doesn't want to do the wrong thing. Thanks for any advice.

When you did the interview, did they ask you any questions pertaining to why you used a tourist VISA to get married or something of that nature? My partner is worried they will ask why we didn't use a K1 VISA to get married and used a tourist VISA instead, and I would like to qualm those fears.

I'm just trying to find out if it can be done. My partner is worried about this process and doesn't want to get banned from the country because they're going to say "you should have done the K1" or something of that nature. We're brand new to the situation and fears will creep in -- but I have seen countless times people getting married on a visitors VISA and doing the CR1 process when their partner returns to their home country, which we would like to do. We just want to know if later in the interview, they're going to say "wait a minute, you got married with a visitor's VISA!" and we get in trouble for it or something. That's not something we want to happen and it seems like it doesn't as long as we do the CR1 process.

Hello! I'm a U.S. Citizen (M) and my partner is from Asia (f) -- Is it okay if she visits me in the winter, we get married, and she returns back to Asia so we can move forward with the CR1 process? I'm seeing conflicting stories / messages / advice about this. Here are the conflicts I've seen: 1. People have done this successfully and have shared their stories (as long as the foreigner can prove they have ties to home country and plan to return and do CR1, they didn't have issues) 2. People without personal experience say it's OKAY -- and only bad if she plans to live here right after the marriage and Adjusts her Status. 3. People say it's bad regardless and you should do the K1 process 4. In the guide on this very site, it explains the K1 process and CR1 process, but does not mention using the tourist Visa to marry first, leave, and do CR1 As of April 2024 -- does anyone know the true answer on this and/or have done this themselves / can provide advice?

Yes, the petition. I-129F. Apologies for not being specific. During the 129F petition process, would my receiving government assistance, in this instance health insurance, hurt my chances of this being approved? I'm talking about now, today, in the process of filling out and sending out within this month. I plan to have a job with benefits by the time we have an interview. Thanks again for the help.
-
I appreciate the clarification. At the present time I am indeed getting the benefit, but I don't plan to be using this benefit by the time we are interviewed. I plan to have a job with insurance and be more financially stable. It's been my main focus as of now and what Im spending a lot of my time with. I understand where you're coming from, but again, my question is about at this present time, today, now -- if I do the application while using insurance from the government, will this hurt the chances of the K1 Visa application? Does this need to be reported in the application?
-
I understand this, and I'm currently looking for new work. But my question has to do with being rejected because I myself am receiving government assistance -- will that lead to a rejection? Again, I'm only asking because I read this somewhere and now can't find if this is true or not.
-
Thanks for the tip, but my question is asking because I am getting government assistance, in this case insurance, will the K1 VISA application get rejected because of this reason (the government assistance specifically). Like, do I need to stop my insurance to make sure it doesn't get rejected? I am a U.S. citizen and my other half is from Asia.

Hello all -- I understand if you don't make the requirements for income, you can get a cosponsor to help. I didn't miss it by much and expect to have higher income this year so I don't see an issue. My question is: has anyone heard a K1 Visa getting rejected because you were getting government assistance? I don't get money or groceries, but I am currently using insurance. I stumbled upon a website that mentioned the K1 Visa application would be rejected if you get government assistance and now I can't find that site for the life of me, so I'm asking you all if you've heard that and if it's actually true or not. Thank you for any help.
