Spouse Visa
We can help a United States citizen who is seeking the K-3 non-immigrant spouse visa to bring a foreign spouse (and the K-4 visa for any children) into the United States. The visa application must be filed in the country where you were married. Mr. Stevenson can deal with the United States embassy or consulate in that country to address any problems. Once your wife or husband joins you in America, we can also assist with the application process for permanent resident status (green card).
To overcome the presumption of marriage fraud, we help with documentation to prove that neither of you is already married (any divorces are final and not pending), and that you married for love and affection (not as a sham marriage or financial arrangement to gain unlawful entry to the United States).
Fiancée Visa / Fiancé Visa
If you are a United States citizen who has met that someone special from overseas, we can help obtain the K-1 non-immigrant fiancée visa so that they can legally enter the U.S. to wed. You must have met the applicant in person at least once in the last two years. The marriage must take place within 90 days of arriving in the United States. Children of your fiancé (man) or fiancée (woman) can enter at the same time via the K-2 visa. After marriage, your new spouse can apply for a green card.
As with the marriage visa, the USCIS requires proof that your fiancé or fiancée is not entering the U.S. for fraudulent reasons. We can help satisfy the government's doubts.
What if we fell in love in the United States?
You should consult a family immigration attorney if one or both of you are non-citizens. The spouse of a U.S. citizen may be able to adjust status in the United States, but the spouse of a lawful permanent resident usually has to return to their country of origin before he or she can adjust status.
Don't jeopardize your current visa status or your future ability to re-enter the United States. Call Richard Stevenson (866) 587-7260 (Toll Free).
Family-Sponsored Visas
- Permanent residents and U.S. citizens can sponsor a spouse, fiancée or unmarried children under age 21.
- Only U.S. citizens can sponsor married children over 21, parents, and siblings.
Depending on the relationship and the country of origin, there may be annual quotas and the waiting list can be many years. It is critical that all documentation be properly assembled and submitted so that your family members can get their visas once they are eligible.
