Husband or Fiance??????

[j]

Hi i will be filing I-130 forms for my 3 children so we can start the immigration process. But is it best for my boyfriend and i to be married or should we apply for my boyfriend as a Fiance???????

Is one quicker than the other??? We were hoping to marry once in the US!!!

i have been wondering the same thing, but near as i can tell from the web and from asking people, the fiance visa is easier.

Don't mean to burst your bubble but not enough info here.

1. Who is the USC - you or your b/f.

2. Whose kids are they?

3. Do you have sole legal responsibility?

4. What are your respective nationalities?

5. Where do you reside?

6. What is your status here?

7. Do you/ b/f meet the sponsorship finance criteria?

8. Does the intending immigrant have a criminal record/ US bans etc?

9. Have you met and if so how and what frequency?

K1 usually smoother and definitley US government preferred route (usually due to fraud/intent aspect of in country adjustment applications) but options depend on answers to above given some posts have Direct Consular Filing and you could return to the US with a GC.
