After your petition is approved, your fiancee must obtain a visa issued at a U.S. Embassy or consulate
abroad. Your fiancee must remain unmarried until the arrival of the fiancee in the U.S. The marriage
must take place within 90 days of your fiancee entering the United States. If the marriage does not take
place within 90 days or your fiancee marries someone other than you (the U.S. citizen filing the petition),
your fiancee will be required to leave the United States. Until the marriage takes place, your fiancee
is considered a nonimmigrant. A nonimmigrant is a foreign national seeking to temporarily enter the United
States for a specific purpose. A fiancee may not obtain an extension of the 90-day original nonimmigrant
admission.
If your fiancee intends to live and work permanently in the United States, your fiancee should apply to
become a permanent resident after your marriage. (If your fiancee does not intend to become a permanent
resident after your marriage, your fiancee/new spouse must leave the country within the 90-day original
nonimmigrant admission.) For information on applying for permanent resident status while your new spouse
is in the U.S., please see Becoming a Permanent Resident (Immigrant) While in the U.S. Your new spouse
will initially receive conditional permanent residence status for two years. Conditional permanent residency
is granted when the marriage creating the relationship is less than two years old at the time of adjustment
to permanent residence status. For more information, please see Removing Conditional Resident Status (from
Marriage).
In most Asian countries it is customary for young people to remain at home until they are married and often a newlywed couple will live with one set of parents for awhile after they are married.
Japanese and Korean individuals usually do not begin dating until they are in college.
In China, dating usually does not begin until an individual is in their twenties. Chinese singles usually only date one or two people before they get married. There are also still instances of arranged marriages. It's important to understand the difference between how men and women are raised in traditional Asian society, because it can affect your dating experience.
* Women are raised to be respectful of men and to defer to them in most matters. The woman's job in the relationship is to take care of the man's daily needs.
* Men are traditionally raised to be providers and to protect the women in their family. They will naturally take the lead in a relationship.
Family ties run deeply within Asian families, and even Americanized single Asians still get a lot of input on their dating partners from well-meaning parents. This means that when you date an Asian, you will likely be dating his or her parents to a certain extent. Expect to be thoroughly scrutinized, although it will be done respectfully. Parents want to be sure the person their child is dating is safe and suitable.
For your part, be sure to show respect for the feelings of your date's parents. This will assure them of your honorable intentions toward their child and will help smooth the path for further relationship development in case the two of you hit it off. I
