China, marriage immigrants, USA.

What is your classmate's status in America?

If she has been naturalized and is an American citizen, then if you register for marriage in China, she can apply for a CR 1 marriage visa for you when she returns to the United States, which will take about 13 and 14 months to complete. After receiving the receipt from the Immigration Bureau, you can apply for the K3 accelerated reunion visa, which can be completed in 9- 1 1 month; If you don't register your marriage in China, she can apply for your fiance visa K 1 in the United States, which takes about 9- 1 1 month.

If she holds a green card and has not been naturalized, then you can only get married in China, and she will apply for an F2A immigrant visa for you when she returns to the United States. It will take about four or five years until May 2004. Green card holders cannot apply for a fiance (wife) visa.

These visas, as long as the relationship evidence is sufficient and the economic guarantee is sufficient, are generally no problem. I came to the United States with a K 1 fiancee visa, and I know something for your reference. Wish you all the best! ~
