hey

no we want to live in america ..

Ok. First, be sure to read the K-1 guide: http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide

There are folks on VJ who are petitioning for someone while living abroad. However, she will likely need to have a US Citizen or US Permanent Resident co-sponsor if she doesn't meet the financial guidelines since she's living abroad.

Actually you two could get married in Belgium and file DCF that would get you there faster and cheaper and you would enter a permanent resident. Check to make sure that Belgium allows DCF, I believe they used to at least.

:thumbs:

It looks like Belgium does not have DCF though: http://belgium.usembassy.gov/immigrate2/for-immediate-relatives.html

However, if you both live abroad, you could probably get an auto-expedite for your I-130 if you choose to get married there and go that route: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/357465-usc-petitioner-living-abroad/
