I’m a US citizen getting married soon in Indonesia. What’s the fastest way I can bring her back to the US?

Answered by attorney Phong Thanh Tran (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
As soon as you have been married, the quickest way to get her to the US is to submit an I-130 petition on her behalf and then request for a K-3 visa on form I-129F. Ideally, requesting a K-3 visa is supposed to shorten the time that a spouse of a US citizen is required to wait overseas for a visa but it doesn't always work out that way. After she enters the country on a K-3 visa, she can submit an application for adjustment of status to complete her paperwork for a green card in the US.

Assuming that you are overseas, you would be applying for the F-1 visa at the American consulate or embassy. While your sister’s petition for you is a factor, it should not be a large factor to a reasonable consular officer who knows that your type of petition takes many years to develop. I also note that the State Department on December 23, 2021, issued guidance on F-1 visas to make it easier for applicants to pass the all-important question of whether they have nonimmigrant intent.
