Hello Everyone,
I have a question in regards to status of my future wife. Here is the scenario. I am a permanent US citizen (Green card holder) working full time and wife to be is a UK citizen. After marriage she is planning on moving to USA with me. I have looked around on the web to get a clear answer so I know what my options are but the more I read the more I get confused.
I am planning on getting married in Oct or Nov and am not sure how long will it take for my wife to come here to stay with me. I know that she come to US without a visa for 90 days but while she is here I won’t be able to do a status change for here as that would be considered illegal or fraud.
Now I know she has a option for coming here on student visa but that will not work as she is already working in UK and has no further plan on studying. I have read on other forums that I can file for a I-130 forum but to my understanding that process takes forever.
Is there any advice that someone can give me on how to go about this process so that I can bring my future wife to US as soon as possible. I read somewhere that I can go to US and do a court marriage and then file for papers there. I have no problem doing that as long as it is not too expensive. But, then again I am not sure how long that process will take.
I have already contact my lawyer in regards to this matter and have a appointment with her in 3 weeks. In the mean time I am trying to see what my options are so that I can have a better understanding before I go to my lawyer and ask her the right question.
Any help in regards to this matter would be greatly appreciated.
