Hello
I am new to this board, but have found many very usefull discussions and suggestions here.
However, what I have not been able to find is answer to the following scenario which I am in.
Let me start with a little background:
I have been in the US for the past 2 years working as an intern for a US company. The company applied for H1-B in April 2015, but I did not get selected in the lottery. I moved back to Denmark after my J1 visa expired in August. I am currently continuing to work for the US company from their European office here in Denmark. The plan is that the company will try to apply for H1-B again in 2016 and if that fails, they will after I have been working from Denmark 1 year, they will apply for L1 Visa (which is all good)!
I have a girlfriend who is US Citizen. We have been together about a year, and have lived together for about 7 months before I had to leave the country. I am 29 years old and my girlfriend is 36.
We are seriously considering to get married and start the Spouse Visa application as we miss each other too much!
Is it possible to have my (potential) wife apply for the spouse visa and then in April 2016 the company I work for will apply for H1-B?
Does this approach limit chances of getting either of the visas?
Kind regards,
DK-Viking
