Check with the Immigrant Visa Unit of the US Embassy in Manila.  They'll have an idea how long it will take once the petition is approved.

It may take up to a month for the NVC to receive your case from USCIS. \n\nHow long has it been since your USCIS petition was approved?

There are a number of resources you can use to look for good immigration attorneys in the Los Angeles area.  I have included some links below.  Hope this helps.  Good luck.

File I129f.  This is the fiance visa.  It will take about 6 months for the process to complete and she can get her visa.  Once she is in the US you have 90 days to get married.  Once you get married you need to file I485 which is adjustment of status or a green card.  I765 is a work permit and I131 which allows her to leave the country while you wait for the green card.  Good luck. \nGo to www.uscis.gov and you can download the form.  Don't hire an attorney, they just charge you for stuff you can do on your own.

I have already done this and maybe i can help you.  I am USA citizen and i brought my husband here.  First you need to file the I-130 forms, then you will wait no longer than 30 days and you will receive a receipt in the mail showing that immigration received this form and the pprs are in progress now, (I received my receipt in only 2 weeks!!!!).  Second you need to file the I-129F form, which is the petition for alien fiance(e) form.  This will make her elgible for a K-3 visa, which will allow her to come here to marry you and she can wait here until her regular visa becomes available.  You will just have to show proof that you all will marry.  I hope this helps, and below i will give you web addresses that will be very helpful to you during this process.  Good luck.

FOR YOUR SPOUSE TO GET A K3 VISA I BELIEVE THEY HAVE TO BE IN INDIA, ALSO THE PROCESS TO GET A K3 VISA WILL TAKE UP TO SIX MONTHS AS WELL.  THE ADJUSTMENT CAN TAKE EVEN LONGER AND CAN BE A HASSLE..  I KNOW IT IS HARD BUT JUST WAIT FOR THE IMMIGRANT VISA.  YOUR SPOUSE WILL ENTER AS A CONDITIONAL RESIDENT.  AFTER TWO YEARS YOU WILLHAVE TO FILE A FORM 751 TO REMOVE THE CONDITIONS.\n\nCHECK THIS PAGE OUT\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/hdiknonimm.htm

K-1 or fiancee visa will normally take around 3 months unless if you'll be placed in AR or admin review.  \n\ntourist visa doesn't take that much time.

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...

Have you actually gotten married yet?  She can come here on a tourist visa and you can get legally married through a justice of the peace.  Then you began with all the filings, which are many.  What is VERY important is once she is here and you are married, she CANNOT leave the country.  She will NOT be allow back for several years.  This has happened to many people.  Beware of it.\n\nGo to INS web page.  Its free and tells you the proper forms to file.  It takes time because of all the steps you have to do.  But count on it costing you about $1,500 to $2,000 bucks to do it yourself.  A lot more if you hire an attorney.....But you can do it yourself, just get informed, you will save a lot of $$$  Hope this helps and congradulations!\n\nBTW, I just reported the moron no illegal to yahoo, you should do the same...thanks!

K-1 visa is the fastest way to get in the US. Your boyfriend needs to file a K-1 visa petition with USCIS, the petition then gets forwarded to the embassy of your country where you both need to go for an interview.\nK-1 visas are rarely turned down just make sure you stick to one story.\n\nOnce the visa is issued you have 6 months to go in the US, within 90 of you arrival in the US you need to get married and file for a status change, it'll take 6-12 months to get your green card.\n\nIf you get married in Philippines you can file for a green card directly with the embassy but you must wait in the Philippines until it is approved (may also take up to 1 year)\n\nK-1 is definitely the best option if you want to be in the US during the processing period.\n\nLastly, I must also stress that it sounds quite odd that you have just met (have you even met?) and already thinking about marriage. I'd be careful if I were you... a green card ain't worth it !

It took me approximately 4 months to hear from the embassy after my fiance sent the F-129 form, and after that another 3 months for me to get the visa. If you have any more questions let me know, we got married and we are not done yet. Good Luck.

Well...depends on how soon you are going to be moving to California and when this persons visa is going to expire.  If you aren't moving to California before their visa expires you will need to go to your local INS office to file a change of status based on marriage to an American Citizen, however if you will in California before their visa expires you can wait till you get there to file the paper work.  The first thing that you are going to need to file is an immigrant visa petition.  You will have to also make sure that your income is enough to be considered to be able to support your spouse, if this isn't the case you may need another relative to sponsor them.  To check this out you might want to go to your local Immigration and Naturalization office before you move.  Good Luck!!

so your saying she is an illegal alien and shes been living in the us for 16 years and she has not been able to apply for permanent stautus. Well then if your married and smart you should go to on base llegal on camp lejeune or pendelton to gop see a immigration attorney for free that way your visa for your wife is alot faster to process. You must be a citizen to claim your wife, the attorney will make you pay $200.00 for getting your paper work started by filling out a I-130 relative position, the faster you do it the better it gets, theres more to cover so feel free to email me good luck

my fiance visa took around 8 months from the day my fiance filed the paperwork till i got my visa. Oh and by the way we didn't hire any lawyers but you pay some money for the paperwork.
