If you’re a US citizen who has been living in the EU and is now being “encouraged” to return home, but have a significant other that you don’t wish to be separated from... what would you suggest?
Should they just go for the 90 day tourist visa and roll the dice on being able to get a fiancé visa, etc later?
- proberts 7y agoYou should contact the US Embassy where you are living or speak with your Congressional representative in the U.S. but likely, unless it is dangerous where you are, you and your partner will need to go through the standard marriage-based/fiancee process and having your partner enter on a tourist visa and then apply for a green card is legally impermissible and risky - although might be forgiven in the end.
- chrismeller 7y agoIf the US Embassy has closed, what would you recommend?
- proberts 7y agoAll Embassies are still open; they're just on significantly reduced staff and only handling very limited matters but if you can't reach anyone, contact your Congressional representative.
- nojvek 7y agoOP Please do report if congressional representative even picks up the phone. I imagine everyone is now knee deep in pandemic related issues.
- proberts 7y agoYes, I've spoken with them recently as have a number of my clients. And one of their focuses now is to help US citizens and their families who are abroad.
