I would be extremely grateful for any advice anyone can give on my situation!
My fiance and I are moving to the US in June. I am a dual citizen (USA/UK) and he is a British citizen. We will be getting married in May before we move to the US. I am going over to work as a doctor and he is going to do an MBA- we both have already secured these positions.
A few questions regarding our status:
- Would it be ok for him to go over on a student visa and then, when we are over there, we can start applying for a Greencard for him?
- If not, are there other visa options that would make this possible?
- A student visa only allows the student to move to the US 30 days before enrollment. My job starts 3 months before his course. If his student visa would not allow us to go over at the same time, is there another option for him to enter the country until he obtains his student visa?
I find visa issues quite confusing and do not want to make any silly mistakes that would jeopardize his ability to eventually obtain permanent residency and a GC.
Thank you so much for any help you can provide!
