he is retired. But he needs a visa to "live" in the US....if he came to a language school he could get a visa to study english, something like that.... since GC is not a option!

Student visa? I thought you said he was retired? They really don't wanna get married ( that would be the last last option ), we are just here today talking and trying to figure out the best visa for him to come... I thought about Student Visa because that allows you to stay in the US while you attend an English school... age is 64.... because I like this topic

investment based he can't do it . he wants to buy a house for her in the US what about a F1 ( student visa )?

but if they get married, for example, today, and she applies for his GC, tomorrow....does it take a long time until he get a work permit / travel permit while Green Card is pending? I mean, coz then he could stay in the US ( and be able to travel to France ) while GC is pending.... ps: he doesnt want to work in the US, but I know while GC is pending people can live here )

he is retired!

Hey guys, my boss is a GC holder for less than 2 years ( She got her green card through a work visa ), her boyfriend is a French citizen that had already visited the US with ESTA, but he lives in France. If he wants to come stay 2-3 years with her in the US, what Visa/Visas do you recommend? Is it even worth applying for a GC ( in case they decided to get married first ) Thanks

no, nursing I would have to go to college again. teaching would be possible in some universities, but it is nothing guaranteed because since I failed Step 1 thats on my record forever. I ll have to think in a new career, but I don't really wanna work again with "health" again....Im not very young ( 39 ) so I ll probably try some 2-year education, and in the future maybe trying to open some kind of business.

I understand no place is perfect. but the weather in Germany is just terrible, think about no Sun from November to March, rain, it is just depressing. There are probably places like that in the US as well, But I chose Florida coz you get "good weather" almost the whole year ( also I love Orlando and the parks )......I would prefer to live in Southern California ( best weather in America in my opinion ) but that is too expensive, also its a huge different time zone from where my parents are.

No, I failed USMLE step 1, that is the most important test to get a medical residency in the US. I could try again but I found out that I don't really love medicine so I wanna change career. My parents moved to Spain and I have no close family in Germany anymore. My boyfriend is from Florida and would never live in place like Germany ( bad weather ). So we gonna be living in Miami Beach . much better than that terrible weather from my hometown Berlin :S

Im a 10 year GC holder and graduated, in the past, as a medical doctor in my home country ( Germany ) After trying to pass the medical boards in the US and failed, I saw no way to continue pursuing my career in the US I decided to go back to Germany and completed a 5-year Medical Residency program During those 5 years I was in Germany, I came back to the US every 10 months. The last 2 years there I was on a Reentry Permit. I came back to the US last week, for good. I have no interest in going back to Germany. I have no interest anymore in pursing a medical career ( I know, I wasted years of my life! ) I wanna become a US citizen. Realistic : # what are the chances of me acquire Citizenship on a 5 year rule? ( When can I apply ?) # Is there any risk to be accused of abandoning my GC because of my previous absences overseas ( no absence was longer than 1 year )
