Re: Want to move from UK to USA to live with my Girlfriend

Let's keep the thread on the immigration track, instead of advising the OP about his relationship.

Thanks,

Re: Want to move from UK to USA to live with my Girlfriend

It would help your case if you do.


She doesn't NEED savings, no. If she has savings, she should list it.

But again....don't reapply very soon...I'd wait at least 6 months or so. Try to have...

Re: Want to move from UK to USA to live with my Girlfriend

I was speaking in USD, yes.

In case you want to try for a visa again in the future, try having your girlfriend provide you with an I-134 affidavit of support, to prevent you from becoming a public...

Re: Want to move from UK to USA to live with my Girlfriend

Just so you know, they don't count family and friends as a strong tie. Just imagine, if you hit it off with your girlfriend, you'll most likely immigrate to the USA...so you will eventually be...

Re: Want to move from UK to USA to live with my Girlfriend

Thank you for clearing up why you couldn't use the VWP. That helps a lot.


There's no set amount of savings, it's still up to the ConOff to decide if it's enough, but I suppose if you figure...

Re: Want to move from UK to USA to live with my Girlfriend

I don't think it sounds fishy, it just sounds like the OP did not understand the correct procedure for visiting the USA, even though it was explained in detail on this thread. Either he didn't...

Re: Non-immigrant visa got denied please help

LOL, no, it's not. The OP has not even met his USC fiancee yet, this was going to be the visit where they meet face to face for the first time!

Re: Non-immigrant visa got denied please help

All the forms for what? The VWP only requires an ESTA pre-clearance, which is done online and was explained fully in this thread.


Interview for what? The VWP does not need an interview.

Re: Want to move from UK to USA to live with my Girlfriend

And don't forget the full medical exam for the visa...that is one of the bigger chunks of expense during the visa phase.


Exactly. Travel to and from the office for your AOS interview, if you...

Re: Want to move from UK to USA to live with my Girlfriend

Rete is right. I quoted you a budget of around $2,000 just to obtain the K-1 visa. Once you are in the USA and have to adjust status to permanent resident, you can budget another $1,200 or so.

If you budget about $2,000 for everything, you'll be OK.

Re: Want to move from UK to USA to live with my Girlfriend

If your ESTA comes back approved, you buy a ticket and get on a plane to visit the USA.

Re: Want to move from UK to USA to live with my Girlfriend

Good plan. Yes, once you meet in person, you guys can start the K-1 fiance visa (or, if you want to get married, you can do that and then start the Immigrant Visa).

Re: Want to move from UK to USA to live with my Girlfriend

What's the hurry? Take some time to visit each other and then decide if marriage is what you guys want.

Re: Want to move from UK to USA to live with my Girlfriend

What relatives are they? If they are your parents, siblings, or children over 21, then yes...they can help you. If they are anything else (cousins, aunts, uncles), then no.

Edit to add: Even if...

Re: Want to move from UK to USA to live with my Girlfriend

Yes, you can marry her there and then, but YOU cannot stay in the USA after that. You'll then need to return to the UK and pursue an Immigrant Visa, which takes about 8 - 10 months to process. So...

Re: Want to move from UK to USA to live with my Girlfriend

Ah, OK. One of the requirements of the K-1 visa is that you have to have met face to face at least once in the past 2 years. In that case, come to the USA for a visit, meet her face to face, and...

Yes, your gf and her mom can "sponsor" you, if your gf is a USC and you are willing to marry her.

Re: Want to move from UK to USA to live with my Girlfriend

Is she a US Citizen?


If your girlfriend is a USC, and her mother earns enough to be a financial joint sponsor (since your girlfriend has no income), then you can probably marry your girlfriend...
