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

No. there have been some international locations of which this replaced into authentic - for instance a woman who married a British subject before 1949 quickly grew to change into British too - yet no longer any extra. the in difficulty-free words element it does, presented he's in the country legally, is that it ability he can ultimately change right into a US citizen a touch faster.

No, a legal marriage done outside the US will be recognized in the US as well.
However, in order for your bride to legally live in the US, you must file a petition with the US Bureau of Immigration & Customs Enforcement.
There are two ways, you can get married outside the US and petition her as your spouse. Or you can petition her as your fiancee and get married in the US. For more information about the entire process, read about it at the USCIS website:

after you get married you have to file a form I130 sponsor/alien relative /spouse along with affidavit of support pay the filing fees and wait till they send you an approved code generally starting with 3 letters of the alphabet meaning the I130 was received and approved for priority then wait and wait some more it can take anywhere for 6 month on till she will get an interview at the consulate

My wife is from Salvador (very hot) and we got married seven years ago.....she was illegal, so we are still waiting for her citizenship (1 year left, she has residency). Once you marry her the legalization proses can begin, but it's long and costly (but much cheaper than a gold digging white girl!!!!!). Good luck, and keep it legal !
