Q: Marriage in US or Colombia
My girlfriend is a Colombian national who still resides in Colombia. I am a US citizen and we are trying to figure out if it is best for her to get K1 visa and us get married in US or we get married in Colombia and then I apply for visa for her
A: The K visa has a little bit faster processing time. You must have met within two years from filing for her visa as well. Counsel anywhere in the USA can represent you. Good luck!
A: Which option you choose is up to you. In today's world you also need to consider the presidential proclamations and how they effect your decision. I suggest you discuss your personal situation and options with an experienced immigration attorney to determine what is the best plan for you.
