Q: Trying to figure out a way to meet so we can apply for a k1 visa or to be together.
my girlfriend lives in the Philippines and I'm trying to figure out how we can meet. I've read that they will deny a B2 visa "to meet a boyfriend". what are our options? I can't get a passport so my going over there to meet her isn't possible... the plan was for her to apply for a B2 visa and during the interview tell them that we are using that visa to meet the requirements for a K1 visa and will apply for that after she returns to the Philippines a few months later, would that work? another option I was looking into was online marriage, but can't find any information on whether Utah's virtual ceremony would work for a C1 visa. so is that a viable option?
A: It would be best to have an immigration attorney assist you directly with this. Proxy marriages in Utah may work for this purpose.
