Best path for green card for someone who has a visa?

Hello,

I have a girlfriend in another country who I want to bring to the United States. I'm a US citizen. She currently has a Visa Type R B1/B2 and she was here spending the summer from July to September. Her Visa is for 10 years. She will be coming again here in November.

I know that I have a couple options. I could marry her in the other country and apply for a CR-1 or I could bring her as my girlfriend with a K-1 visa. Or I could marry her here while she stays with her visa.

Our questions are the following:

​

• What would be the fastest process for her to get a residence card? • Can I apply for a K-1 Visa and can she wait here with her B1/B2 Visa while she waits for K1? • If the K-1 Visa is only to allow her entry into the country then would she need that since she can already get into the country? • If she comes with the K-1 Visa, would she get a temporary residence card while she waits? Would she get a work permit while she waits for her residence card? • If she is here on her visa and we get married while she is here, can she apply for form I-485 ?

​

I'm just looking for the fastest way possible for her to obtain her green card. We also want to spend as much time as possible together while she is in the US but we of course want to do that legally.

​

Thanks a lot for the help.

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...

DS-260 Have you ever attended any educational institutions at a secondary level or above?

Ok so I’m not sure what to put down here, I have a high school diploma and currently attending college! So for the occupation part for a previous question I put down the school I go to and address, however I am uncertain what to put down here, I put my high school start and end date but do I also include the college? Because it says highest level of education COMPLETED but also in the drop down menu there is an option that says UNIVERSITY,NO DEGREE which if I do choose then I will have to fill out the school information and then a start date and an end date which I still do not know this is the only question I’m struggling will and have looked into it but no straightforward answer! I hope you guys can help submitted by /u/AlarmingUmpire3 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/immigration/comments/j2eni9/ds260_have_you_ever_attended_any_educational/
