To whom it may concern,
I'm writing to get some initial advice on the appropriate steps to take, and appropriate Visa forms to file, to bring my Australian fiance to the US. We are both male, but will live in DC where our marriage will be legal. My current job is ongoing through 2015 at least, and he would quickly enter the job market once he arrives in an area we think will be good for it. Firstly, will we, too, need to complete the K1 process and file form I-129F? What else might we need? I am also currently on the "permanent residency" track as far as Australia. My "partner Visa" there is in the "temporary residency" stage and thus I am allowed to be back in the US for work. Our goal is eventually to have full travel and residency rights in each other's countries. As it stands now, we are hoping to have him back in the US by Thanksgiving. If we are correct in identifying the Visa forms we need to file, can he still return on a tourist Visa if the I-129F is filed? We will go down to a local courthouse within 90 days to obtain a certificate and have a more formal, but small and casual reception next year (with more planning)! For obtaining work rights, is it also true that we just need an AOS form, and EAD card and SSN? If so, do we have to wait until the I-129F is approved? Or, can we go down to any of the SAA offices in DC to file quickly after his return?
Thank you very much for any help you can provide!
