Hi everyone,
My fiance is Indian and we are currently going through process of having him move here on K1 visa. I previously used eTV visa's when I visited him twice, but I just applied for a regular tourist visa. It's on the way back to me from CKGS right now so not sure if I got approved for the 10 year or not (I'm a US citizen), but either way the tourist visa is only good for 6 months at a time. Does anyone know if there is a different visa I can apply for after we are married that will allow me to stay in India longer than 6 months? I understand I can't apply for OCI card until we are married at least 2 years. Is OCI my only option? So will I just have to keep the tourist visa until being married 2 years then I can apply for an OCI card?
Reason I ask is in case the K1 visa is not approved I will want to move to India to get married and live there with him, but that will not be feasible on a tourist visa if I can only stay in India for up to 6 months at a time.
