I am a US citizen and I would like to bring in my fiancee from China asap. Actually my fiancee is currently holding a multiple-entry B-1 visa (business). He came to US 2-3 times a year. My questions are:
1.Can he come in on B-1, we get married, then apply for immigration for him (and AOS) here? I read some stories on the internet that USCIS does not always grant the immigration petition to people who entered with non-immigrant visas, since they would violate the "non-immigration intentation". Does anyone have any prior experience to share? If he indeed comes in on B-1, how long do we ave to wait before we get married and apply for PR for him, in order to avoid problems with USCIS? What would happen if he overstays his B-1 visa duration while we are waiting to get married? I know the parents of my friends overstayed and applied for GC later (after 6 months) without problems. However, in the past USCIS only allowed my fiancee to stay for 1 month per trip, since he stated he was on business. Honestly, we only decided to get married lately, although he has been here times before. Can we use this fact to prove that he did not have immigration intention when he applied for B-1?
2. If I file a petition for a K-1 visa for him, will he still be able to come to US on B-1 in the near future, while the K-1 petition is pending?
3. He would also have the option to get an L-1 via his company, which I think potentially would take a long time.
I would like to hear from you, for the above options, which one would be the best? And technically, how should I proceed to bring him in quickly?
Thanks a bunch in advance.
