    Default Fiance or Spouse Visa

    Hi, thank you for reading my post. I am a UK citizen and my boyfriend is a US citizen. we have been together for 4 years. He has lived in the Uk and i have just recently returned to the UK after being in the US on a J visa (I have a waiver for the 2 year home rule).

    My question is which is the easiest, cheapest, fastest way for us to be together again?
    - fiance visa (for me to go to the US)
    - fiance visa (for him to come to the UK)
    - get married first and then apply for a spouse visa for either country

    How long does the process generally take from pertition for alien fiancee to me being given the visa?

    I know you may not be able to answer all my questions but some advice would greatly help.
    Thank you

    Is your bf in the USA now ? If so I would bet him filing a K-1 for you to come back to the USA and marry here would be the quickest way. The processing times vary but i think you would obtain the K-1 visa in 6 months or less and then once you enter the USA you would have 90 days to get married and apply for AOS.

    Good luck.

    Glad the question was answered.

    Spousal applications take longer.

    Fiance (K-1) is the quickest route. We did ours 6 years ago, took 4 months for approval, then another 2 months waiting on Medical Exam and Consulate Interview.

    When you get married, go immediately to the local USCIS office to file the paperwork.

    Definitely expect to spend atleast $1000 on the process.
