We could also start looking at job prospects for myself! Now, if we did this and decided to stay rather than come back, is there an acceptable process to do this? I don't particularly want him kicked out of the country because US immigration decided we were being tricky.
I know you can apply for a visa as a spouse and get a K3 while waiting, but as we're thinking of seeing how we get on, this may not be the best bet for us.
We have no issue with packing up some clothes and leaving everything else behind since that was the plan if we moved anyways and so either way we'd have to re-start our lives.
Anyone know if this is possible?
Thank you!!
