I am married to an american citizen and we live in Italy.
I received a great job offer from the US in Chicago. However, H1B quotas are over so I have to go for a wisa through my wife. For internal policies, the company needs to hire someone as soon as possible.
I requested to the US Consulate in Rome but they told me that, for the direct consular filing (immigrant visa), they need from 5 to 7 mnonths. And the company is not willing to wait so long. K3 visa through the US offices is even longer....
Is there any possibility for me to get a visa (even a non-immigrant) in a faster way?
Isn't there a way so that I go to the US and then, while I start working, I adjust my status?
I hope someone can help me!
Thanks.
