I am engaged and a dual US/Romanian citizen and would like my fiance from Romania to visit me in the US for my last semester of college this coming fall, as well as have her be present at my graduation. Only a 4 month stay is involved, after which we both plan to return to our country permanently. We were planning to legally get married this summer either way, but also to give her a higher chance of approval as we would now be husband and wife, and perhaps make it seem that much mandatory that we'd have to stay together. However we will initiate our marriage about 1-2 weeks before she applies for the visa due to my fiancees schedule being busy from school. I do not want to make it seem that through marriage (which will seem hastily done right before she interviews) she will not have a reason to come back home, even though that is what we both intend at the end of our stay. Should we wait to marry later or before we apply for the visa?
OR should I petition for the K1 visa instead? We CAN get married once she gets here without any problems, but when I graduate we still plan to move back home permanently. SO, I don't want to make it seem like visa fraud and desertion if I sponsor my fiancee, then leave the country? I just want to get my fiancee to be here for me when I graduate. Which option should I take give the circumstances, and how should I execute that specific option if anybody would be so kind to tell me?
Any advice would mean a great deal to me; Thank you
