Dee Dee, actually a temporary status is when you file a K-3 to bring YOUR HUSBAND and a K-1 is to bring a FIANCE' (90 days you must marry or he has to return). Now, if they have been married TWO YEARS by the time their case goes to immigration and his interview at the consulate or Embassy, he will gain permanent residency. TEMPORARY residency is when you have been married LESS than two years and you will have to ADJUST his status right before his two year anniversary of living in the USA. It is not cheap. It costs around $1000. Immigration puts a two year status , so they say.

But I also know someone in Oregon who paid the AOS bill within the first year he was living in Oregon and he came by Fiance' Visa (k-1) to USA to marry my friend. He HAS his green card already and his status is re-adjusted to a permanent resident in the USA.
