    Under Section 214(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), applicants are presumed to be intending immigrants unless they credibly demonstrate, to the consular officer’s satisfaction, that their economic, family, and social ties outside the United States are strong enough that they will depart at the end of their authorized stay. How would you convince them of that if you applied for a visitor visa?

    "will a visa officer give me an F2 for such a short duration?" Yes, if you can overcome the presumption of immigrant intent.

    I don't suppose pushing up the wedding date is a possibility? Or even holding 2 weddings, 1 in each country? (The US one could be just at a courthouse for the documentation, while the India one would be the "real" wedding.) I know someone who did almost the reverse - he married his current wife first in India, unofficially, and then officially in the US. (Neither is Indian, they were visiting India for a friend's wedding, who is Indian, so they made it a double wedding.) Commented Aug 22, 2022 at 13:55

    What is the nationality of your fiancé? Also Indian? Something else?

    What do you mean by "crypto"? Cryptography (computer and/or network security) or cryptocurrency? "crypto space" suggests cryptocurrency. Commented Aug 23, 2022 at 11:10
