Other answerer said right but its really very hard to get Tourist visa so better Show 2 years of relationship evidence and get the visa in just few days after the investigate a bit(who know may be they wont) otherwise just apply for Spousal visa...Best of luck and Congrats.

Well she is now illegal in this country! The whole thing about the k1 visa is that she has to marry you to legalize or adjust her status! If you two are already married, she is supposed to have condition residence until you both apply to remove those conditions after two years ! So if she left, her green card is only good for two years! Which brings me back to my point! She will be illegal after two years.Notify USBCIS on the situation! If you have already done the I-751( Petition to Remove conditions on permanent residence) Regardless if you signed I-864 ( Affidavit Of Support) I am afraid there is nothing you can do if she doesn't want to come home. Still notify USBCIS on the situation though! What sucks is you still me responsible for them after divorce! Re read the form and get a lawyer! Sorry man , but good luck!

Been there...done that!!!\nI speak through experience...speak calmly, be honest - state what is your purpose...like if you come here thru work visa, tell you need to work here...if you come thru finance visa, tell you will marry a person from here!\nBe ready to know all the information that you wrote in the paper...it must be the same as what you are going to answer them! \nBe ready with all the paperwork, coz they might ask for it.\nIf you need to bring pictures to prove then bring it too!\nIn short, bring everything you could imagine that might be helpful in the interview! \nThen stay relax!\nOh one more thing...check your spellings...must all be the same...tell u one example, a friend of mine - she didnt notice the mispelled name on her birth certificate and the other paper she brought so she was denied! thats all that it  takes.

Yes, people at the Consulate are going to be suspicious if the names don't match. That might jeopardize your visa entirely. Can you ask the university to speed up the process of sending you a corrected I-20?

i really know how do you feel it is so bad because sometimes you feel that embassies try to stand aginest pepole freedom and always become as great wall toward some dreams\ni think invitation letter will be helpful for her you just try to find someone (i'm sorry to say even with money) because she should be invited from someone and i really recommend that she go to visit someone not just as toursit to make her chance more better .also try make her prove her intention to back to germany to complete her study that also will help her in canada embassy and at last let me tell you if they stamp on her passport in usa embassy that will may cause her some diffeculty to get canada visa entry but after all i wish her and you good luck

Sorry to have to say no but that's just the way it is even in America. Int Students have to pay their money or have some one sponsor them. Like some students I know have they embassy sponsor them. Find out from embassy what kind of help you can get

I would think that the tourist visa would suffice for the qualifying process. However, if she qualifies and wants to stay for an extended period, other arrangements would most likely have to be made.

Bear in mind that simply applying for an immigrant visa for the new-found love of your life does not mean it will be approved.  How did you meet?  Have you been to Egypt before?  How well does he speak English?  How well do you speak Arabic?  Has either one of you been married before?  Has anyone ever applied on his behalf before?  Has he ever been arrested?  There are many variables which can influence the outcome.

Find out which school your friend would like to go to and get an application.  Other things she will need is a school transcripts and a bank statement that shows she has the money to go to that school (international student's tuition is very high and they don't qualify for student loans).  If she gets accepted the school in the US will issue her a student visa that is good for a few years (usually 4-5). Another thing is TOEFL score, but since your friend is from an English speaking country she might not need that score? Contact the school and ask if she will need anything else.  Hopefully your friend can go to a university that has a good international office and support system.

Tell her to write to the U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate.

You can give it a shot, but chances are it won't speed up the process.  I work for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and I get people who call me once a week asking about the status of their case.  Repeated phone calls or letters won't make me put their case in front of anyone else's.  The rule is first-in-first-out.  It's going to take some time, so the best advice I can give you is to be patient and realize most Federal workers have huge backlogs in their workload.

Shawn, apperantly some of these people don't have any clue.You should really be careful asking questions like this on an openly opinionated forum such as this. True, if you're a US citizen, then your children are also but you need to file the right documents in the country where they are born, and submit it along with a DNA result the confirms your paternity.And as far as "her" visa, it varies depending on what country she is from. There isn't a level playing field where those are concerned. In most cases, under the K-visa program, a K-3(spouse) visa takes longer to process than a K-1(fiance) visa. Don't know why but think it has something to due with the process and requirements. CONSULT AN ATTORNEY! You might sponsor her or try for a student visa,or work visa but there is a catch. Just because she is in the US and you marry, doesn't automatically grant her a green card. She may still be required to return to her home country while processing her visa under the new status. And it may in fact make the process more difficult. CONSULT AN ATTORNEY! I'm only saying this because a denial can be very painful and even lenghten the process during a "re-file". I know because I'm currently working on a K-1 for my Pilipino Fiance, whom I have a child with as well.\n\nGood Luck!

Have you ever consul with a doc before about this.  I had a friend like that, it just took finding the right person.

It is probably NOT possible.  Moscow is heavily overloaded and backlogged with fiancee visa applicants, and so many cases are fraudulent (that is, purely for immigration purposes, done for money, or else the American petitioner thinks it's love but the Russian has other plans) they take far longer to process that they would if they were all good.\n\nNevertheless, here is the Embassy's contact info:\nhttp://moscow.usembassy.gov/consular/consular.php?record_id=concont\n\nand here is information on the process itself:\nhttp://moscow.usembassy.gov/consular/consular.php?record_id=fiancee

good luck\nthey will most likely be rejected for application for entry status\nnow if one of them was a nurse and the other a engineer, that's a different story as you probaly get her on a h1-b visa, assuming of course you could find a sponsor( s)
