Hi Everyone,
I am a green-card holder and about to marry a UK citizen who do not have a green-card.
I am aware that if I sponsor her for a green-card, she will be locked up out of US for years.
So my question is : what happens if we marry, but I do *not* sponsor her. Could she still get other visas like F1, H1, etc? or the fact that she is married to me, makes problems against her getting those visas?
In case, being married to a green-card holder makes problem for getting other types of visas, what happens if she enters US say by an H1-B visa, but then we marry in US? Should she leave US? If not, could we apply for her green-card (based on her H1-B, and being married to me) without forcing her to leave US?
many thanks in advance for any help...
