My Fiance is About to Be Illegal

[navymanneedshelp]

I am about to go on deployment and my fiance's visa will expire the month after I leave. I want to know if I-129F will keep her here for six months if not what can I do to keep her here? please help.

You can't get a K1 visa for somebody who is already in the U.S. Also, you would need to marry within 90 days of her entering on a K1, suggesting you're planning on marrying.

If she's in the U.S. and you're planning to marry anyway, how about marrying and petitioning to adjust her status?

Get married before you leave then file AOS for her in that case when she gets the NOAs (I-797C) then she is in legal status until a decision is made.

Apply the Employment Authorization concurrently with AOS so that she can work,drive and get a SSN while her case is pending.

Hope this helps.
