I have been happily in love with her for over three years now...so I doubt she's just after a passport. She has been living / working year for a few years.

Oh, I might add...I'm a British citizen.

ok this is right up my alley.
The fiance visa will work, but it is not as safe as the spousal visa.
The fiance visa, k-90 visa is based on her coming here for 90 days. During that 90 days you will have to marry or she will be sent back. The key to the fiance visa is for you to go there, have a party, take many photos to prove your legitimacy.
After the party, you file the papers. This will take 6-14 months. She will get an interview and they will ask her questions to prove its worth.
Honestly you should do what I did. I married my wife in Vietnam. Came home, filed the I-130 spousal visa form. It is much safer and the success rates are much higher. There is so much fraud with the k-90 fiance visa, they deny many many more then the spousal.
Why not marry her there out of respect to her and her family. Big deal, have a simple ceremony. And when she arrives here, go to your church and get it blessed and invite your family:)
dont use the fiance visa, trust me I know. mine failed and I lost 1 year of my life waiting. That is why we then did the spousal visa. The waiting time is shorter and rarely does it get denied.

I understand what you are going through. Please email me anytime. Also go to USCIS.com for all the info on the forms and fees.
Remember, dont hire a lawyer when filling out the paperwork. Do it yourself, its not hard, just be thorough

Ooh id be very careful if i were you! Seen it happen to someone i know. And have you met the mother in law by the way? you need to be very sure the family like you and will except you cos from personal experience ive seen how the family can destroy and break up a marriage if they have an agenda or only see you as a ticket to getting into the country. Word of advice be very careful go with your gut instinct on this one. Iv'e seen the damage this sort of situation causes.

If you can wait until next year and you really love this person, Romania will join the EU and it's citizens will be able to travel throughout its member countries. However certain employment restrictions are the subject of political debate but I believe if two people genuinely love each other there should be no problem. I wish you both well.

You can only marry her in the UK when one of the following occurs:
-- there is a change in current policy (condemned by one court as violating art. 8(1) of the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, but still in force) requiring marriage visas (or Home Office consent to marry) for all non-EU/EEA/Swiss citizens other than those with unlimited leave to remain or certain other kinds of status (diplomatic, etc.)
-- such a marriage visa or Home Office consent is obtained
-- Romania becomes an EU member state (next year?)
Under the circumstances, it should not be difficult to get a marriage visa for tourism (my American daughter in law got one on the second try; the consular section asked for proof of spouse's assets, probably to demonstrate that she wasn't trying to evade getting a "settlement for marriage" visa, which she didn't need)
To get a marriage visa for settlement involves proof of assets and adequate provision or a place of abode. As well as proof of your own status.
If you, the UK-resident future spouse, have EU/EEA/Swiss citizenship, whether or not you also have UK citizenship, your fiancée, upon marriage, is entitled to an EEA permit free and gratis. In that case it may be cheaper to marry abroad and avoid the cost of a trourist visa for marriage. But since the average UK wedding (I am told) costs £15,000 maybe the cost of a visa isn't going to be determinative of where you marry.

Sure you can marry her. If she has been working and living here legally for some years, then she will be able to change her visa to one with the right to remain indefinitely without restriction. If she had been on a six-month visitor's visa, then the answer would have been much different.

of course you can....eventually, after you have been through hell with the authorities, most of whom assume this is the best country to live in of course. Do not think so. I would stay in beautiful Romaina, uless of course you have your partner working here, taking a meaneal job which no Englinsh underclass wants., but they complain you come to take the jobs, the jobs they do not want, Me I am white. English, and devecting to a Muslim country....it is safer. Muslims are wonderful people. Just go through the right channels, tell the truth, and if you love eachother, I am sure, all will work out....you will see. But it will be a struggle. and why the hell you want to come to the u.k is beyond me.
