    I thought they wanted to make sure that you are a real relationship? Like a bonafide marriage.

    Messages, a job, family, return flight. Quite a bit of evidence to be honest. And if we have complete freedom in providing which evidence then we'll be able to produce a lot. The EAD is something to consider though and her and I would have to discuss.

    They don't check again when filing for an AOS?

    We're in the US together right now and we hadn't planned on getting married during her visit here, but after some research we're finding that may be the best option. We want to live and work together but she would either need to file an AOS while she's currently here, or we go through the much lengthier IR-1 process and begin it when she returns. I've heard that filing the AOS during her stay before 90 days of being in the US can be dangerous but I'm not sure what the dangers are or if it is something we'd really be in jeopardy of if we hired a lawyer and never intended to get married until she was here. We want to navigate this in the safest way possible. Our top priorities in order are 1) Not get her banned from the US. 2) Have her be able to work with me and live with me in the US. 3) Minimize her time spent abroad. So we're looking at our options and trying to move forward. Any suggestions or advice would be very helpful!

    She is currently here on an ESTA and we're certain we want to get married and live together here. While she is in the UK we can work together remotely, but when she is in the US she can't work with me without a green card. Towards that end, our aim is to not only live together but be able to work together as soon as possible. From what I've read so far, K-1 would get her here faster (8-12 months(?)) but without a green card. And IR-1 Spouse Visa would get her here slower (12-18 months(?)) but with a green card in hand. I'm not sure if I'm understanding the process correctly but it seems the IR-1 is the way to go. I'm completely new to this world and would really appreciate some insight and/or advice from you all. Thanks! :)
