Hi All

I raised a similar question in the F Visa forum but i dint get a clarity on the issue. My situation is that Im on OPT which is valid till July 2011. But i dint get a job for more than five months and im leaving US to return back to my country. I am in a relationship with a citizen who is willing to sponsor me for a fiance visa.

My question is would i face any setbacks at the time of the interview?

How can i tackle the situation?

And is it better to stay in US and get married to the girl and change my visa status?

Any clarity on this issue would be appreciated
 
As long as the relationship is genuine, you have nothing to worry about with regards to a K-1 visa.
You also have the option of marrying and then adjusting your status. It is entirely your call.

Im running out of time for now...i have to go to my native country but i want to get married to my fiance and re-enter. I would like to know if there is going to be any issues when I apply for it
 
Read my first reply again. Both options are open to you. Your I-94 with D/S protects you from accruing overstay until visited by USCIS/ICE/CBP. So decide which option you want to follow.
