Hello everybody I am new to the forum,

Ive been surfing this forum for a week now because of an outrageos lawyer price I was given. (I was also thinking to use an online attorney arctec.com)I dont have a time line posted yet because me and my fiacee are still trying to figure out a plan of action.

I am an american citizen and she is a citizen of Greece. We are both residing in our own country. We plan to get married in her country in June in Greece.I have learned that the K-3 visa is much more complicated and sensitive to errors. This is correct...right? So we had an idea to apply for the K-1 fiance visa, her fly over to the U>S to have a "legal marriage". then she will fly back Greece. Then come June we will marry in Greece as symbolic wedding. Does this sound like a better plan?

My big question is is the K-1 visa valid for re-entry?

another option is a "legal marriage" aka court house marriage in Greece this january...so to begin the I-130 process towards the K-3. Does anybody have any insight?

K-1 is single entry, meaning she has only one use to enter the US to marry you within 90 days. then, if she wants to leave the country, she needs to file Advance parole and get approved before leaving in order to be able to enter the US upon her return from Greece.

i hoep that helps some. maybe, someone who knows more and hel you better. good luck. :)

The K-3 visa is no more complicated and sensitive to errors than the K-1. The forms and process is exactly the same. They are both non-immigrant visas (albiet processed in much the same way as an immigrant visa), and both require the filing of the same petition, the I-129F. If anything, since the IMBRA, the I-129F for a fiance has become more troublesome for many that have a prior filing/s of an I-129F petition in the past 2 years as they are now required to file a waiver.

Have you looked into DCF, filing directly with the embassy/consulate in Greece. I'm not 100 % sure on the residency requirements for the USC but I do have a strong feeling from the little that I have read on the consulate in Greece, that this may be an option for you. You would need to be married and file the I-130 directly with the consulate. Check the link below if you are looking for more info on filing directly to the embassy in Greece. Whilst most require that the USC be a legal resident of the foreign country for generally 6 months, this doesn't apply to all.
