I am currently a civilian employee on SOFA visa engaged to a Russian woman. I am currently in Korea but plan to move jobs to Germany or Japan after marriage. Will I be able to sponsor her as a dependent in Germany or Japan even though she is not a green card holder? I asked Chatgpt and it said it shouldn't be a problem and I will be able to but I want to double check. Appreciate any help.

WHAT?! "SEVERAL YEARS"?????!!!! No where online have I seen any timelines saying it will take that long. Surely you mean for the entire process, not just US entry?

Thank you Thank you

How did you get a Schengen visa? Did you have to go through a different country?

As the title says I am engaged to a Russian woman and we want to be together as quickly as possible. I am seeing a lot of conflicting information online about the US Embassy in Moscow transferring immigration cases to Poland, but Poland is not issuing Schengen visas for Russian citizens nor letting them fly directly into the country. I also saw another post that some people are going through Israel for the interview process which confuses me further. I have not filed the I-129F yet but am getting ready to. Does anyone have more information about the whole Schengen Visa/Poland situation? What can I expect after filing the I-129F? Will this be a significant obstacle to overcome? Would a CR1 be a better visa choice? Would the CR1 have to deal with the whole Schengen visa stuff as well? Overall we just want to be together as quickly as possible and thought we could have that with the K1. I appreciate any guidance anyone can provide. Very confused.
