Some fiancees think they might want to get married, but are not 100% certain, and need more time to get to
know each other or to adjust to the new country. The fiancee may qualify for a visitor visa if the intention
is not to get married in the USA (but to come and go and get married in another country, to return again on an
immigrant visa). However, by applying for a K-1, the foreign fiancee may be much more open about their
intentions since the purpose of the visa is to allow a foreign citizen to remain in the United States for 90
days to get married, with the idea of living and working legally after marriage. If the intent to marry is
made clear enough, and something does happen that makes the couple decide not to marry, then the fiancee may
leave the country without repercussions. However, in the case that the couple marry after entry on another type
of temporary visa, there are some penalties under the law. In many cases the marriage will be upheld and
immigrant status granted to the foreign spouse, but sometimes the foreign spouse risks being deported. Limitations
have also been put into place to discourage marriage by visitors on other visas. For example, a K1 visa may
not be issued to a recent student visitor (to discourage foreigners being students merely for the purpose of
meeting US spouses). Though the K1 visa may take more time in planning, it minimizes risks that wedding plans
will be scuttled at the last moment by a denial of admission.
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
