Hi,
My girlfriend and I want to marry this summer. She is a LPR living in the US and I’m a German citizen, living in Germany. The plan is to visit her, get married and I will leave the US a couple of days later to return to Germany. Do you see any issues with that?
I know that if we get married and apply for family based greencard, it will take approximately 3 years until I can move to the US and live together with her. Is that estimated time for the whole process correct? If we marry in the summer of 2013, will I be able to move in Summer 2016?
Of course I would like to come to the US earlier, if possible. Therefore, I’m looking for a job that is willing to sponsor me a H1B visa, respectively I try get relocated by my current employer on a L-visa. I read that this will become significantly harder after we get married and the F2A petition is pending. Is that correct or would it still be possible to receive such a visa?
How is the situation if I just want to visit here as a tourist (VWP, no longer than 90 days). Would that be possible or is likely to get rejected at the airport?
I’m grateful for every advice; it is a real hard situation to be separated from my fiancée.
