This is my first post, so apologies if it’s not the right place. My fiancée (American) and I (Italian) recently got engaged and live in Italy. She has a student visa (italian school), and I work here. Our goal is to move to the US as soon as possible and we are debating which route to take.
We’re considering the K-1 Visa but are concerned because I wouldn't be able to work until I get the Adjustment of Status (AOS) & work permit, and I couldn’t travel without Advance Parole. Can we apply for AOS, the work permit, and Advance Parole all at once? What’s the timeline?
We’re also aware of the cost difference between the K-1 Visa and Consular Processing. Any advice would be appreciated!
