Startin the K-1 application while in the US with J-1

[giorgio85]

Hi all,

I'm waiting for a J-1 waiver with NOS and my J-1 expires on April 31, 2014.
Let's suppose I got the waiver in December:

Can I start the K-1 visa application with my fiancè (US citizien) while I'm in the US and then come back to my country (Italy) for the interview at the embassy?

I'm asking this question in order to save time and not being away from her too much.

Thanks in advance.

Well, if you don't want to be away from her too much, then why don't you stay in the U.S. and get married and file for adjustment of status? That would make the most sense.

You are already in the US. Get married and file the change of status based on marriage to USC.
