USA, Canada / American Marrying Polish woman - visa question [41]

I am planning to marry a girl I know from near Lodz.
We are planning like this. She will try to get tourist visa and come here. I know maybe it is not possible if not I can get fiancee visa. What are statistics for tourist visa awarded . But when she comes here we will get a civil wedding, what documents will we need. Do hers need translated and if so by sworn translator? After this will she get spouse visa or how it works? Then we will file application for green card etc.. What will she need to work and get drivers license, what is the path? How long does each step take? She will go to Poland finish her job (she need 1 month notice) and take care of other details and I will go there for Church wedding. What documents will I need, she said something like permission for marriage, what is this?

Will she need medical exam etc.. Any help would be appreciated. I have been to Poland many times, it is beautiful, We spent Christmas in Karpacz, it was amazing. Thanks in advance.

Actually she has good career and obligations and a flat etc.. but I did not realize this is fraud to do it this way. Iwill tell her. This is not Mickey mouse thread, it is legitimate. I live in Columbus Ohio.

USA, Canada / American Marrying Polish woman - visa question [41]

Let's see, a young single lady with no real career or financial obligation that would guarantee her return trip in the eyes of some bureaucrat and visiting her boyfriend? Virtually - none, virtually because the bureaucrat is human and might make the mistake after all.

Why do you make assumptions you do not know, it makes you appear to be not very clever.

So can we do like this, try for tourist visa so she can come here and visit me then apply for fiancee visa and get married in correct way?

Does denial of tourist visa = problem in obtaining fiancee visa?
Is it rally illegal - fraud to marry on tourist visa?
What if I go there and marry, how would situation be?

OK I only meant that she does have good job with contract and possessions and a flat etc...

I understand now. We were thinking of tourist visa to see where I live and spend time together and meet my family more quickly. I was not aware marriage on tourist visa is a problem and the other things, it is all new to me. So I will talk to her about the tourist visa situation, thanks for advice. So if tourist visa is bad idea maybe we abandon it.

Should she tell them her intent to see where we will live and intends to return to Poland before we marry. Or is it better to say it is only tourist visit.

Most important are questions of what problem would be if we marry here and also will denial of tourist visa affect getting fiancee visa. I appreciate all help.

USA, Canada / American Marrying Polish woman - visa question [41]

That is what I am thinking, but I get so much different advice it is confusing.
Will they grant multiple entry on first application?

I agree the visa situation here in USA is very stupid

My intention was like this, she will come here for 3 weeks on tourist visa and see how she likes it, and meet my family. We are certain to marry. I was planning we could marry here on tourist visa if she likes and start all paperwork, then she would return and take care of the things she needs (she must give one month notice for work) and find a smaller flat for her mother only etc.. And then I could go there for church wedding for her family. I never intended her to stay permanent on tourist visa. Is this reasonable idea?

USA, Canada / American Marrying Polish woman - visa question [41]

Sorry it is my Fiancee, I say it wrong, I visit her many times in Poland and we know each other 1 year. We love each other very much and waiting is difficult.

I have very good job and income so that will not be a problem. Thanks for you advice. We will see what happens, I cannot leave my job long enough to reside in Poland unless it is short time like for a holiday.

Merged thread:
American marrying Polish

I will be marring my fiancee from Poland. I think first we will have civil wedding in US then church wedding in Poland
What should I expect. I know I will need some documents. Where do I get document of permission to marry? Does it need translated (sworn). What other requirements and documents will I need. And what will she need for civil wedding here?

Thanks

USA, Canada / American Marrying Polish woman - visa question [41]

I am born in and from USA, white not Indian, We are just looking for best way for our future.
Also when she want to work here, will her 5 year degree in microbiology will it be useful in US (ie will it transfer for new job). We were thinking marry here on first visit then she returns to complete her job and sell flat etc.. I file I-310 for CR-1 and wait it out for 9 months or so. Then go to Poland for church wedding (for her and family) after approval then return to US, is this a sound plan?

I think the fiance visa will only save a coupe months and add $1000 to the total cost if my research is correct. I know she will have to return and wait for CR-1, but I can go there during the wait.

USA, Canada / Education transfer USA (Micro biology from a technical university in Poland) [30]

My fiancee has 5 year degree in micro biology from technical university in Poland, what would it be equivalent to in USA? Will this degree transfer to USA in terms of being able to work in this field? What if any other things could be helpful to get job in this field?

USA, Canada / Education transfer USA (Micro biology from a technical university in Poland) [30]

She does not want any more education only to work.
She says the description of degree is MGR. So she will go to her university and see about it. She has been working for 5-6 years in the field and can have good references, so I am hoping it is possible to find a job in this area

Yes we both agree on it and it will be easy to remember. Thanks. After this 3 week holiday here we will have a long wait, but I plan to go to Poland in August for holiday with her. I think CR1 takes typically 9 months

USA, Canada / American man with a Polish wife. Will children be dual citizens? [20]

Thank you for your reply, it is just something we discuss. I am not concerned with being Polish citizen myself. But if we have children I think she would like for them to have it, and they will learn Polish. I am trying to learn. I really like Poland very much!

Love / American marrying Polish woman in Poland - Church problems [79]

I am currently married to a Polish woman through a civil wedding in the US. We are planning a church wedding in Poland this summer and everything was planned and the church said OK, but now they say there is a problem because the catholic church wants a proof of my divorce from previous wife in church. It was minister that was methodist or non denominational, or even only civil, I don't recall it was 17 years ago. But here in US we do not have divorce through church when church is not catholic, it is only through court. So what can I do?

Love / American marrying Polish woman in Poland - Church problems [79]

I am confused, she is in Poland and she is talking directly to the priest herself. They told her at the beginning everything was ok, now they want this document that is not possible to produce.

Is this like a shakedown for money? It is funny I told her the same thing, how much $
Thanks for info, any additional info is appreciated

I was not married in Catholic church previously, it was only a civil wedding I believe. So if it was civil how can I prove divorce in church?

We are already married through a civil wedding and she is moving here, I don't care about this wedding for myself, it is for here and her family. It is a pity they would do this to them

Love / American marrying Polish woman in Poland - Church problems [79]

I was married in an outdoors park by someone arranged by my previous wife. Here in US all is required is to be ordained which can not even have a connection to church

It was 17 years ago and I don't remember exact details, is that so hard to believe

And divorce takes place in court here, not church unless you are catholic I have divorce decree from court.

It was definitely not Catholic priest!

I am not a troll so a genuine retard I suppose. That's the thing I like about this forum, the people are so nice and polite

I told my wife this, that they want some donation, but she thinks of things in an ideal way and doesn't agree to it.

I just feel badly about it for her and her family after planning this wedding

I am not catholic, she told me it would be like a one way wedding in Poland where she is married in the eyes of the church and I was not. It sounds strange, but I was told they do something like this. The divorce decree from the court is all I have to show I am not married.

When I say "do this to them", I mean first they said this document from the court was acceptable and now it is not. That is all I meant. If from the beginning they said there is a problem and she did not make all of these plans I would understand

Well It is nice to see someone understanding my situation and not calling me names. It is exactly as you state Mafketis,
I think I can produce a marriage certificate from our vital statistics bureau to show it was not catholic, if you think that would help, but there is no such thing as a divorce document from the church possible here if it is not Catholic. So I just trying to understand how to solve the problem.

Love / American marrying Polish woman in Poland - Church problems [79]

since u are already married is it not possible for your wife to wear white and u both simply repeat your wedding vows. or is this what u are doing ?

just asking.

Yes I suppose this is what we want to do, She lives now in Poland but will move here when immigration approves her. but I was just now going to the place here where I live for document showing it was only civil wedding previous to send them and she called me. They had some meeting in a court of the church and the decided it is impossible for us to be married in the church. Something about even if it was civil wedding, the fact that I am not baptized means no way it can be, I guess? Before they said it was OK for like one side wedding for her only. Apparently none of the bishop or people in the court could agree, some said yes it is OK and some said no, no way

They also say since she will live with me she can no longer take some sacraments in the church.
So her and her mom are sad and upset. So there is no reason to continue this discussion anymore.
