Hello my dear fellows
I am obviously British and am all set to marry my American boyfriend....I know about the marriage licence fees but what I want to know is there any other expenditure, what do we do afterwards to allow me to stay on a permanent basis having married in the USA and is there anything that is going to prevent us from marrying? I am currently staying in NYC under my ESTA which doesn't expire until Jan 2013
Thanks guys, your advice will be truly welcome :thumbsup: |

Re: Hello my dear fellows
please go and speak to an immigration lawyer as you could make things very hard for yourself if you make some missteps alog the way. It can be done fairly painlessly if you follow the rules.

Hello and a big welcome to BE.
Excellent information can be found in the BE Wiki, not forgetting the Living and Moving Abroad forum that will help you, another set of great help is the permanent threads at the TOP of each forum, they are very pertinent to that particular forum and makes sensible reading. Moderators deal with any problems that arise such as inappropriate posts, spammers etc, you will find their names at the bottom right hand side of each forum's index in bold font. Please contact me if I can give you any further help. Rosemary |

Re: Hello my dear fellows
Ok guys....not to panic....I know about the 90 day rule of the esta...am in the processes of making an appointment with the consulate here in NYC and have got in touch with an attorney....as we are engaged I shall be applying for a K-1 visa....thanks for your interest; after all, if you don't ask people you never find out the 'do's and don'ts' and just wind up in trouble which is why, I believe, I joined this forum in the first place :thumbsup:
