Advice needed, whether to apply for a Student Visa or Visit Visa??

[zambaba90]

Hi All,

I need advice since I will be traveling to United States for my Marriage, and I also have an Admission for PhD.
I am confused now, as to what I should apply for, my marriage is fixed in January 2014, and all the arrangements have been made.
Whether I should apply for a Student Visa or a Visit Visa??

I have already completed my Masters in US 3.5 years back, and I am living outside US since 2 years.
I have my Social, and Bank Accounts as well in US.
My spouse is a US Citizen, and we are planning to get married in January next year.

Looking forward for your Advice.

It depends what you really want to do. If you apply for student visa then you have to go to school and you need to have enough money for it. Visitor visa is obviously for a short visit (which might not be granted considering you have an American fiance). You can apply also for K-1 fiance visa which suits your intentions.

@ mtouch, how much time do you think a K-1 Visa would take, if I already lived in US, and maintain Social and Bank Accounts in US??

Looking forward to hear from you.

@ mtouch, Do you think, if I get multiple Visa, and I get married to my Fiancee, and don't apply for immigration, and want to come back and apply for immigration later on after a year, do you think, I can come back to US without any Problem??

K-1 visa may take 6 months-1 year. If you get visa via K-1 and get married you will get a conditional green card good for 2 years. When you get GC you can stay outside of US for less than a year but you have to maintain residence in order to avoid your GC being cancelled, or you can apply for reentry permit to allow you to stay outside US up to 2 years.

@mtouch, thanks for yourt valuable comments, so what do you think would be the best visa choice in my case??

1. Student Visa, and then get married in Januray, and apply for immigration after a year
2. K-1 Visa?
3. Multiple Visa for 10 years, and then get married in January, and then come back later on after a year to file for Immigration??

Looking forward to hear from you.

Please note, I dont have any of the above Visas as of now.

Looking forward for your feedback.
