I have a unique situation in that my Fiancee is a UK citizen. She Has received her Decree Nici but unfortunately, she is unable to obtain her Absolute until the division of the marital assets is complete from her previous marriage, and unfortunately that is not going to happen until her home and / or restaurant abroad. That could take years for it to sell.

In the meanwhile we want to start a business here in the U.S. and she needs to be here to help run the business, but unfortunately, she can't be here for more than 90 days at a time, and if she comes over many more times on her Visa Waiver, the CBP is going to start giving her a hard time about being here.

What are our options? We have considered applying for a tourist visa for her so at least she could be here for 6 months before having to go back, but what we really need is a more permanent solution. Also would it be easier for her to get a tourist visa while she is here, or over in the UK next time that she has to go back?

Unfortunately a fiancee visa isn't going to work because I would have to marry her within a couple of months or she would have to go back anyway. And I can't marry her until she gets her Absolute which she can't get until her property abroad sells.

Any suggestions / ideas?

Thanks!

Se cannot work on a tourist visa or the VWP. Your plan for her to enter to do so is illegal. If she is doing so at this time, her illegal work may come back to haunt her.

You cannot have a fiance until the divorce is final.

She could always give up all rights to the properties that need to be sold - oh wait, she wants the money from them.

Of course he can - he just cannot have a spouse until the divorce is final. I'm puzzled why the properties would take "years" to sell - a house and a restaurant aren't exactly unique and very difficult to liquidate.

To come here to start a restaurant or other business, consider an E visa.
