(1) Can my fiance file for a K1-Visa for me and my 16 years Child? If yes, briefly explain the process and fees to be charged.
Yes provided you and the US Citizen have met within the last two years. From start to finish the process can take about 15 months. Fees vary from attorney to attorney. But some of charge at the lower end.
(2) Can I get married on a K1 Visa, apply for a change of status and get emergency travel authorization to return overseas within a short or reasonable timeframe? How long would this process take?
Yes. You must get married within 90 days of US entry, after which you can adjust status. The process takes about 12 months. Emergency travel can be processed faster than the adjustment case, and even faster if you have the need for emergency travel. Some of us charge at the lower end range.
Counsel fees from start to finish (total) for both cases would be about 5k with no hidden costs.
