Dear all,
I am new to this forum, and would appreciate any help from you all.
I am a US citizen, and recently got engaged.
My fiancee has a 10 year multiple entry visa to enter the US (B-1), which she had even before we ever met.
We want to get married in the next year, and we were exporing whether we should file for the fiancee or the spouse visa for her to come to the US for good.
But she does need to come over the winter to give some interviews, and write some exams here in the US. We are concerned that she may be refused entry on her prior tourist visa when she has a fiancee or a spouse visa application in process. Is that true?
Or can she come for a short time to give her interviews, and return back until her case (I-130, or 129F) is approved??
Many people have suggested that we have her come here on her tourist visa, and then get 'spontaneously married', but I don't think that would be Kosher, and will NOT do that.
But please guide me as to whether my fiancee will be allowed to enter the US temporarily on her prior valid B1 visa (when our intent would be for her to return back after her interviews/exams) ?
If not, I guess, we will have to wait until she gives her exams, & interviews, on her visa, and wait till she joins her job on a H1 next year, and then adjust her status (we would prefer NOT to do that....)
Thanks!
