B2 visa for wife

[linuxpro]

We are in the final stages of getting our K1 visa. We do not live in the USA. We do not live in her country. We live in a Singapore. We will marry in the USA (destination wedding with friends) and leave again. I have no desire to settle in the USA, so there will be no AOS. We will only be there for two weeks. I checked. Marring a USC on a B2 is considered fraud, and that is why we went the K1 path.

Later we may want to tour in the USA. I earn more than twice her salary. For purposes of a B2, will they use both our incomes?

You are wrong.

Marrying a USC on a B2 is NOT fraud.

But adjusting to green card from B2 on that basis can be.

Just getting a K1 to get married in US when you do not wish to adjust to GC is not wise at all.

Also, after you get married to a USC, getting a B2 will become difficult.

Funny as you are the first to disagree. I have been working on this a talking about it for months. I have consulted two online lawyers about it. Do understand that I have no interest in living in the USA. I do not card for the company of Americans. They are far too pious for me.

You are the only person who says getting married to a USC on a B2 is not fraud. They are very clear on that subject on the US department of state web site.

I do not understand the problem with the B2.

B2 visa for wife

some people give information base on what the heard not what the went through or witness, i got married on a B1/B2visa all though not planned but got my green card after getting married and applying for AOS and they never ask me any question why I got married of such visa they only wanted to know if the marriage was bona fide, so don't rely on what you see on the website untill you have pass through or seen someone go through it . Many lawyers don't know much about such ,they just say what they want to make money. and to my understanding coming through a K1 is to get married and adjust your status but since you have no intention of staying in the Us I think it's a waste of time and the wrong way to go about it, better you come on the B visa get married leave and continue visiting untill you both are ready to settle in the states and adjust.my opinion not legal advice.

For us it is K1 or nothing. She cannot qualify on her own. I promised to show her San Francisco. Nobody from Myanmar gets a B2 when they live in Singapore and earn a salary of only 2600 (Singapore) a month.

We have long planned to get married. The web site is very clear on the fact that traveling to the USA with the intent to marry a USC on. B2 is fraud.

[peace999]

Yes, B2 would be difficult anyway let us not discuss that.
And after marriage B2 can become difficult because there is an automatic presumption of immigrant intent if you are a spouse of a USC.


Now that you have gone thru the process of K1, I suggest you get a green card for her using the K1 .
And then get fast US naturalization which will make it possible her to live outside US and
visit US anytime without a need for a B2.

Fast naturalization? Never heard of that.

We can only take two weeks off work, so we cannot stay in the USA long enough for AOS. I do not have the resources to sponsor her for AOS as it is. I have no home in the USA. I have only a car, a bicycle, and bank accounts (less than $170k). I have no family, and no job in the USA. I work for a US company abroad.

Also the last thing we would want is for her to be a "naturalized" US citizen. I plan to retire in Myanmar. Myanmar does not recognize dual citizenship. If she gets US citizenship our plans are over. We are buying a condo in Myanmar this fall. Once I retire at 55 or so (7 years from now). I will give up US citizenship and become a Myanmar citizen. Foreigners are not allowed to live in Myanmar even if married to a citizen.

The USA is just a tourist destination.

Oh !!!!! No offense but you have really restricted it yourself from all sides !!!!!

Good luck with your wife's B2 after marriage then.

By The Way,

*a spouse of a US citizen working for a US company abroad can easily go for fast naturalization ( section 319b)
*a US citizen living abroad can still prove domicile in US when working for a US company and $170k is enough for
an affidavit of support ( I-864).

319b waves the requirement to live in or visit the USA every year. That way the "green card" is not abandoned. We have no plan to live in the USA. We agreed not to live in the USA when she accepted my offer of marriage. We plan to retire in Myanmar, so we do not want to lose her citizenship in Myanmar. Myanmar does not allow dual citizenship. I do not want to lose my "ticket" into Myanmar. I will be giving up US citizenship to live in Myanmar.
