It's almost impossible to get a visa just to visit USA from certain countries. If he doesn't have American citizenship, I'm not sure what his options are. \nIf he is American, he either needs to come there to live with you or at least get married there, and then you can go to the American embassy in your country & apply for a petition for an alien relative. You will be asked questions at the petition interview to make sure the relationship is a real marriage. If they determine it is, they will approve your application. Then you can get an appointment @  the embassy for an interview for a visa. Remember your husband is your sponsor and has to show 3 years of income tax returns to prove he can support you here.\nI know these facts are true because my husband is egyptian and we just went through this process. We got the petition and visa approved in a little less than 3 months.\nWhat is your fiance's problem that he can't go to Russia to live? Or to at least marry you there, if he loves you and wants you to come to USA to live? He has to be willing to help you in any way he can. You can't do it alone. If he won't do whatever is necessary, maybe he's not sincere with you. \nGood luck & best wishes to you.\nIf you get to come, welcome to America! It is truly beautiful!

why? I tell you why. When you apply for the american visa (the passport is really easy to get) the u.s. goverment ask for WAY TOO MANY things such a: prove you work in mexico, how much you get paid, do you own your house, what kind of job do you do? etc etc. Last time I had to apply for my visa they even asked the name of my freaking dog!!!! seriously, it doesnt matter if you have a great job, if you own your house, if you rent, if you are a decent person,  if the customs officer thinks you are ugly, if he is hungry, if you dont speak enough english to be able to answer their questions or just because he is moody, then they  wont give you the visa! I hate the fact that "gringos" think that the illegal people in the US are only mexicans HELLO???? what about people from el salvador, argentina, peru, etc? I'm mexican and I'm very afraid to cross the border these days when I see in the news that stupid gringos (not calling everyone stupid ok?)are burning mexican restaurants up, are burning my mexican flag and talk s*hit about all mexicans like we all want to be working in the united states. BS! I have a great job in mexico, I'm staying in the US at the moment because I'm staying with my bf for a few weeks(yeah, I cross the border like 4 days a week and yes i have my permit to stay in the states for six months) and believe me: I love my job and I dont want to be in the states working as a secretary or even worse at mcdonalds!  I think people from my country go to the US because their local goverment dont do s*hit to improve their situation and all the want is a better life for them and their families and for some reason they hear great things about US that they want to live "the american dream". I feel so bad for all those who work with a fake ID because they live afraid of the border patrol but in the other hand, they think that is the only way to make some money to have food on their tables and yes, send some money to those who are still living in mexican hell. it really depends on the state you live in. I'm in Baja California and life here is better, there are jobs for everyone but if those who go to the states dont stay here is because they didnt even finish elementary school and unfortunately that is a requirement for the simple jobs. so, if they cross the border to go to US, they dont even have to read to pick up tomatos or corn... And for those who said the illegals dont want to pay taxes... how are they going to pay taxes if the have right for nothing in the states? and I dont think they are bad for your country or your economy at all. they do all the job that people in the states refuse to do :)\nyou should get those terrorists that want to destroy your country instead of the poor people that are making posible for you to have fresh veggies on your table or making burritos for you.

check with the laws on it... you may have an issue as most visas do have a time frame involved.Check with the place you got your visa

well im a US citizen and my husband was from europe. i went there and applied for a visa for him to come and become a permanent resident. i went in May 2005, droped off the apps. we had an appoitment on july 14th and they gave him his visa on the spot. so he was able to leave then. but we wanted to have our wedding there so we stayed and by Sept 8th he was in america with me. so it didnt  take that much. time goes by really fast.

call the police and explain ur situation ( illeagal immagration is a big thing now days so ) they will be more than happy to help you find out if his visa is expired, then contact a lawyer incase he' tries anything.

A K1 Fiancee Visa. I applied for one in November 2003 and obtained one in October 2004. A lawyer doesn't mean that the paperwork will be any quicker, but it will help you get all the paperwork the immigration people need, and they need a lot.\n\nI would suggest a free forum www.visajourney.com\n\nGood luck. It's worth it in the end...

Well seeing how there are many people who have waited years before you you it could take a long while. That's if they don't get the ball going and start the process of getting those the green cards they need to become legal. You could always try to get a work visa.

I spent 9 months trying to get a visa for my wife to come over here.  The INS said that they had sent the paperwork to the embassy and the embassy told us they didn't have it.  What I learned from this experience is that the people who work for the INS (now Homeland security) are idiots who don't care what grief they cause.  I once looked into getting a job there and found that the starting pay was somewhere in the 20's so these are McDonald's manager rejects. Don't expect anything from them.\n\nShe would be better off if she was a terrorist!  Mohamed Atta and Marwan Al-Shehhi were issued valid student visas for their Florida flight school six months after they had flown into the World Trade center.  \n\nMy advice is to hire an immigration lawyer.  You have to force them to act.  It will be worth the money.

It is hard to get a visa to the UK too, which I'm trying to do.  Could you possibly get your former NYC employer to sponsor you for a work visa?  That would be your easiest (legal) route.  Good luck, I LOVE NYC!  (But everyone should leave before they become bitter and hard.)

Thank you very much for your question! I ask myself this every day. My visa expired, so they count me as illegal, although I pay all taxes and speak excellent English!\n I haven't seen my parents for years and they can't come here, because US govmt doesn't give visas.\nImmigrating legally is nearly IMPOSSIBLE!

My wife is Philippina and we are trying to get her visa.  It is taking a long time.  I don't care what country you came from, if you are legal.  If you are illegal, you are breaking the law, end of story.  When My wife and I lived in Japan, we had trouble getting a visa for me.  So we both left.  Because If I had stayed I would have been deported if I had been caught, and so would my wife.  Regardless of the fact that she had a visa.  Breaking the law is breaking the law.  Don't complain when you are caught.

Contact USCIS they should be able to give you the correct advice.\n\nI've found them to be pretty useful most of the time, but make sure you're really clear about what you want, and make sure you're 100% certain on what action they tell you to take. It can be very confusing!!!\n\nGood luck!

There must be something that is better than so many other places.  Go to any embassy and see how many people are applying for visas to go to the USA.  More than any other place.  If you think the US is all doom and gloom then go see some of the world and I bet you will change your mind.  I left the US 13 years ago and have seen many places and got to know many things about them.  I sure am glad I was born in the USA and had the opportunity to succeed because I would not have in most other lands.  The US has problems and people need to become informed and vote for those that can help make the US an even better place.

Hard to get, intentionally. The US is in a somewhat protectionist mood over the last couple years. If you're serious about wanting to be in the US, get to know everything about it (history, society, etc.)--that will help with your citizenship process.
