Could I work around a Fiance Visa?

Yak Rider

If you could "work around" it then why do you suppose the US has the K-1 Fiance/Fiancee Visa?

You could try it if you're willing to gamble. She might be approved to adjust status or she might be processed for deportation. The USCIS doesn't look kindly on fraud.... coming as a tourist when the true intent is marriage.

Why don't you try this....? File the proper forms for her to get a Fiancee Visa. That way when she comes here you have nothing to worry about.

I-129F, I-864 and G-325A.

Hello, everybody is not allowed to work under tourist visa, right, unless your fiancee has special visa that allow to work (many types of visa). If she arrives with tourist visa so when she arrives here with tourist visa then you marry her then you have to report and apply for Permanent Resident Card (Green Card). You may go to www.uscis.gov, all the informations are there.

My experience is: I arrived in USA with Fiancee Visa (my fiance (before we married) applied for Fiancee Visa from USA, submited all the documents that they required and paid the fee too, then after it's been approved for 6 months time, US Immigration will contact me through the Ambassy in my country. Then I had to submit all the documentation they required, it took about 2months, then they issued Fiancee Visa.
So it took about 8 months for the process to get only Fiancee Visa.

I arrived in USA with that visa type then we married and we reported and applied for Permanent Resident Card. My husband is the sponsorship for me, so there is table for how much money for his income that can support one immigrant, last year 2008 the limit earning is USD17,500 that qualify to sponsor "ONE" immigrant (there is table for it, you may find all things when you apply for Green Card). There is fee for this process, I had to go to biometric test (finger print), 4 months later they approved it and by submitting approval mail I applied for Social Security Nunber. One month later I got the SSN and then about 2 months from the approval, I received the Green Card. It took about 6 months. But a friend of mine who has the same issue, she got hers for about 9 months, so it depends of them.

Since your fiance got the SSN, she may work legally and better to get driving lisence too after got the SSN.

Hope it will help you. Success for your relationship

You could try it, but there is no guarantee that she will get green card approved. In order to get green card she must prove that she had no intent whatsoever to get married and immigrate when she came to US on VWP. It would be already hard to prove since you are already planning that route and wrote it out publicly.

there are thousand out there waiting,your case is no different,for a good start in your lives, get the paper work done as others,and apply correctly as instructed by immigration.
by working around as you said? you are already creating some problems in your life,which by the way? are more costly,stressful,and will be a disapointmet for the both of you.

I arrived in the States on a fiance visa ...

1. Get your fiance here on a fiance visa, takes less time than if you're married. Why? immigration policies

2. Once she's here, get an EAD (Employment Authorization Document) which is good for a year. You can also get her a SS number and a driver's license (that's what I did). And then she's legal to work.

3. EAD is good for a year, so 3 (better if 4) months before EAD expires, apply "Change of Status" from fiance to Permanent Resident. when approved, she will become "Conditional Permanent Resident" and gets a Green Card good for 2 years

4. Before the Conditional Permanent Resident status expires (again, 3 or 4 months before) apply for "Removal of Conditional Clause" and when approved, she becomes a "Permanent Resident" with a Green Card good for 10 years.

5. And then, if you've been living together (meaning married) for 3 years, she can apply for U. S. Citizenship.

That's what I did and am now a U.S. citizen .. no more green card required. I got a passport.

that helps?
