My question involves marriage law for the State of: New York
Hi,
I came to the US to pursue a masters degree in 2011. Upon graduating, I was offered a job using my OPT visa from Aug 2012-2013. I did not make it on the H1 visa this year, and now my OPT will expire in 2 weeks.
My boyfriend (an America citizen) and I have been dating for a 1 year and we plan to get married in the future. I just found out that we cannot file for the K1 fiancee visa since I currently reside in the US.
Is there any other visas that we are eligible for if we are not ready to file for marriage yet? Is there a fiancee visa for foreigners working/residing in the US? Is it correct that our only option is to get married in order for me to stay in the US with him?
Thanks.
