Can my fiancee from the Philippines get a tourist visa to the United States and we marry here or will it satisfy the having met in-person requirement?
It’s almost impossible for a Filipina to get a tourist visa to the U.S. A tourist visit cannot be converted to a K1 fiancee visa nor can it be converted to a K3 Spousal visa and if they find out that she used a tourist visa to come to the U.S. with the intension of marrying you or becoming engaged to you, then she will have committed immigration fraud and possibly be banned from the U.S. forever. The best way to do this is to go there and meet her face to face, then we can file and get her a K1 visa fast.
