My fiancée is in Korea — not sure if entering visa-free to marry is better than a fiancé(e) visa
I’m a U.S. citizen. My fiancée is in Korea, and I’m not sure whether it’s better for her to simply enter the U.S. visa-free and marry, or come on a fiancé(e) visa.
Cost-wise, visa-free seems better, but I wanted to check just in case.
I’d appreciate any advice on this.
We recommend obtaining the visa that matches your actual purpose of entry. Even if she enters visa-free, be sure to consult with an attorney regarding the timing of the marriage and the timing of the marriage-based green card filing. If she enters visa-free, since the stated purpose is tourism, immigration attorneys will likely recommend waiting at least 3 months before proceeding.
