Visas fall roughly into two classifications, non-immigrant (for visitors, employees, and missionaries, for
example), and immigrant (permanent visas for things like the visa lottery, families intending to move
permanently to the USA, business investment, and new marriage partners). The K-1 visa is in a bit of a grey
area: although it is officially called a nonimmigrant visa, applicants intend to apply for immigrant status
after arriving in the USA.
A US citizen may marry any foreigner under the law of their desire, with the fewest exceptions necessary.
Human rights laws, international law, and US constitutional law together create the right of a US citizen
to marry a fiancee of their (mutual) choosing, no matter what the citizenship (national origin, race) of
the fiancee. The legal philosophy behind the bureaucracy (forms, interviews, and proofs) of K1 visas
(along with visas for spouses and their family members) is that the government can limit human and
constitutional rights only if there is a compelling state interest, or, in other words, an overriding
concern that affects the rights of other citizens. And the USA has established a large list of reasons:
national security, controls against subversives, crime, etc.[citation needed]
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
