I am here in the US from Australia for the 2nd time in the past 2 years on a Visa wavier. I met my girlfriend last time I was here as a friend. I have been here over 2 months now and we met up in the first week of me being here. She is living with my friend I am staying with and we have been spending alot of time together. In this time we have become very fond and intimate with each other and developed an amazing relationship. My 90 day Visa Wavier is almost up and the thought of us being apart is quite upsetting. She has just the other day asked me to marry her and stay in the US. I am not to sure what position this puts me in. We have been researching heavily into this as my time is almost up. It would seem the K-1 Visa is the process we would have to go through to allow me to stay in the US, which I am more than happy to do, as we are very much in love and I personally am willing to reside here to be with her.
Can anyone offer advice on my status under the 90 day Visa Wavier and my circumstances. Do I have to leave the country to go through the process, or can we apply for a change to my status whilst being here in the US?
Any other advice on this subject would be greatly appreciated! Thank You



Hi There and welcome to Visa Journey! Yes, you can file the K-1 paperwork while you are there but you will have to return to Australia at the end of your 90 days. The initial petiton is filed by your fiance in the states and then the rest of the paperwork...packet 3, your medical, your interview is all done in Australia. Unfortunately, you two will have to be apart while the visa process goes on.


Thanks for the reply!
It's nice to have found somewhere online where you can interact with real people!
I guess that's a good thing we can set the wheels in motion here. The going back to Australia part I guess is a necessary evil! Do you have any idea what sort of time frame we would be looking at?
