Re: Marry then I-130 or I-129 and Marry

Re: Marry then I-130 or I-129 and Marry

SAME! When she told me I was like, yeah I'm not dealing with them. And yes, if we were to do K1 I would go back to the UK for it. And yes, K1 is becoming our least favourable option, thanks to this...

Re: Marry then I-130 or I-129 and Marry

This is exactly my thoughts and knowledge and also something I wouldn't want to do or really need to do. As for the K1. That's been our understanding of that anyway. Thank you for you helpful...

Re: Marry then I-130 or I-129 and Marry

And yes. It's the ideal time frame. But it's not what we want. We'd like it of course. But rules are rules and if we have to wait 12-18 months then that's just the way it is. We don't want to be in...

Re: Marry then I-130 or I-129 and Marry

Yeah, this is my thought also. Plus I don't want to involve the company I'm working with.

Which brings us back to marry in Mexico and apply, or K1, marry and not work for 6-18 months.

Thanks...
