    You know, there are visas for fiancees. If the government will issue one to a Chinese woman who can barely say “hello” (one of my friends speaks great Chinese and is engaged to someone who doesn’t speak English, they live in Ohio now), they’ll surely issue one to Pierre.

    I am perhaps on the horns of a dilemma. I hope Donna refuses his ungallant demand. But would that mean we’re stuck with having Pierre around? Or would he be deported? Sigh! What to do?

    Immigration isn’t always so easy though. one of my best friends married a South African woman, and they have had no end of agony from INS. And she speaks better English than I do!

    They have a lot in common. Pierre wants a Visa. Donna wants a MasterCard.

    ejcapulet, I think a fiancee visa would be better if Pierre hadn’t already let his old visa expire. With a fiancee visa you HAVE to get married within a certain period of time (6 months in the U.S., I think), and since any application for a change in status is going to put Pierre back on the radar, they might be better off just getting married and presenting the gummint with a fait accompli.

    And the ability of the applicant to speak English is, frankly, irrelevant.
