Hi, i hope someone can help me with this
My fiance is an LPR , i read that as he is not a citizen he cannot apply for a K-1 visa for me , so my question is ........

What would be the quickest way for me to be with him in the states ?
Do we have to get married and i wait in the UK for a visa number to be available or can i wait in the US ?

Any help/advice is appreciated, Thanks.

You must wait outside of the US. If you marry, he can apply for your entrance through the filing of an I-130 at the Service Center. But as you noted you will have to wait for your quota number to be current and that might take 5 years or more.

Within that timeline, he will be eligible for naturalization. If he does that, once he is a US Citizen, he can have the priority changed on the I-130 for you and your number is current so to speak.

Perhaps you qualify for a student visa, work visa, or some other type of visa.
