Hey! Any advice would be appreciated from anyone who knows anything about USA/American derivative visa's.
My partner has just been offered a job in the states (were from the UK), and his company is offering an E1 visa for him, and I know that IF we were married, I could apply for a derivative E1 visa.
We're looking to try and get married before we leave so that i can apply for the derivative visa once we get our passports updated with our married names, however the timescales may not work in our favor.
Does anyone know if it would be possible for him to get the E1 visa and move out, and I travel on a tourist visa, then get married in the states and then apply for a change of status?
I'm trying to find more information out, and I've checked the USCIS website, but I can't find any information on there!
We obviously don't want to uplift our life if it turns out that I won't be able to apply for that derivative visa!
Cheers! :)
