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 !

If she is your fiance; you will be petitioning for her to get a K-1 visa. You can apply in the US or at a US mission abroad. The petition is sent to CIS in the US. If it is approved, it is forwarded to the Department of State in the US, who forward it to the appropriate US mission abroad - in this case it would go to the US Embassy, Brasilia. If everything is in order with the additional paperwork and interview, the embassy then issues a K-1 visa into your fiance's Brazilian passport.\n\nIf you get married overseas, and want to bring your wife to the US, then you will be petitioning for a K-3 visa for your wife.  The process is similar to the K-1 process described above, in most respects:\n\nhttp://www.embaixada-americana.org.br/in...

well it all depends on how many applications they are processing at that particular consulate...also many factors come into play ...like the complete application submission, her qualifications, and ofcourse fingerprint and background check...she will definitely have wait anywhere from 12-20 months for approval of her case....she might even have to go for an interview if the CIC feels she does not have sufficient evidence for her skilled worker category immigration.

you can get married. THEN call the immigration office and ask them what forms you need. That's exactly what me and my husband did. hes from Australia. he was here on a 90 day visitors visa..and we told them we got married..and they said file the forms. easy as that. They allow this kind of thing to happen..it's under Section 201B of the INS Act.\n\npeople who have never been through it..do not know what they are talking..you need to talk to someone at the INS. We did not have a k-1 visa either.\n\nIf you want more information on this..you can email me and we can talk about it. Maybe i can help direct you in the right direction about forms and papers.\n\nGood luck! it's not easy to do..but it is doable!

You don't need a lawyer unless there are compelling circumstances. Filing for a fiancee visa is not hard and the processing time takes anywhere from as short as four months to as long as six months in most cases.  It depends on whether she will be interviewing at the embassy or one of the consulates as each have their own backlogs.  She can call the one she wishes to interview at and find out how long is their current backlog.   There is no real way to speed up the process other than making sure all your paperwork is in order and properly filled out.   \n\nThe main thing, and you may know this already, is that you must establish beyond a reasonable doubt that your relationship is valid and she is coming here for the purpose of marrying you.  It helps if she has copies of emails, online chats, and telephone bills showing a record of the two of you being in contact.  Further, it is highly advisable that you make a trip there so that pictures can be taken with the two of you and her family.   If such a trip is not affordable, then it is less likely for the consul officer to approve a fiancee visa as the two of you have never actually met in person.  The consul officer can rule that she return for another interview after the two of you have met if other evidence is not abundant.  Further, be sure that you meet the minimum income guidelines for the Affidavit of Support.  This is about $13,000 a year if you have no kids.  \n\nI have been through this process myself with my first wife and once she gets the visa, its good for a year to enter the States.  After that, you have ninety days in which to get legally married and have her adjust her status with immigration to that of a conditional permanent resident.  She'll have all the rights of a permanent resident but it's conditional until she has her formal interview with an immigration officer a year or two later here in the States at the office nearest to you.    However, the clock starts ticking for her to become a U.S. citizen when she adjusted status to a conditional permanent resident and she can apply for U.S. citizenship two years and nine months later (the application can be sent in three months prior to the required three year waiting period once married to a U.S. citizen).  Once she applies, it can take anywhere from six months to a year (again depending on backlog) before she is naturalized as a U.S. citizen.

I went through this, I’m from Lebanon from the date my husband (my fiancé back then) sent the paperwork till I got the visa it was 8 months. It depends on the state you applied in, some states handle a lot of immigration paperwork so it takes more time, like in TX but fortunately our paperwork went through a different state and we got off faster than expected.

hmmmm its faster if u want to bring ur fiance to USA. U just need to get the papers ready and prove that the two of u r engaged wiht pictures n stuff .... the visa granted is K2 visa. U have i think 30 or 60 days to get married in the US and register the same.\n\nBut if its ur spouse then the waiting period is minimum 1 year  n that happens because they just wanna see proof that u will b able to support ur wife and wont put her on social security.\n\nI wud suggest K2 visa.

I'm a U.S. citizen and I married a foreign citizen (who was already here on a student visa).  It took us 6 months to get his green card after we applied to adjust his status to permanent resident.  It depends on what city you apply in, though.  The INS office in New York gets a lot more applications than, say, in Kansas.\nIf she's not already here, then you have to bring her on a K-1 Fiance visa, then get married, then apply to adjust her status.

These are some of the dumbest answers I have ever heard..If you have no friggin clue about immigration policies go to a different forum on....lets say...video games! Some people here have legit questions and don't need some stupid A$$ answer like, Uhhh if you marry a USC you will become one...HOW FRIGGIN STUPID ARE YOU??\n\nAnyways, back to the answer: Well you have actually done your homework but unfortunately you don't want to abide by any of the requirements. What I would do to simplify things is to have two weddings..yes, you heard me right! Have one in the U.S. to legalized and qualify the marriage as a Fiance..and at a later date have the big wedding with family in India. Your spouse can petition for the K-1 visa here and will get priority status with the application and should have the visa in a few months. Then you can come to the U.S., get married within 90 days and you are done. You will have a 2 year Conditional status so just keep your nose clean and you will be fine! Just remember, if you leave the U.S. try to be back within 180 days so you will no longer be seeking admission...just in case you have any skeletons that have crept up after becoming married.....

You can go to the embassy website to get the proper forms.  They also reply to e-mails, usually within 24 hours. Good luck.

We applied for a K1 visa and everything worked out very smoothly. You just have to make sure all your paperwork is filled out correctly, don't lie about anything and it should all work out ok. It takes some time and it doesn't take a lot of money. We just paid for the forms that we filed. My fiancé (a US citizen) filed the paperwork in early October and I got my visa in March the next year. I found the K1 visa to be great and safe, with all the paperwork and medical exams that they ask from you, you can be sure that you and your fiancé are both healthy and true about how many times you got married, divorced and all that detailed info. Good Luck. If you wanna know more tell me ok?

The K Visa that you want can be obtained from virtually any US embassy or consulate.  Here are the rules; follow them and you will be fine. http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/fiance.htm

From start to finish, it can take anywhere from about 4-6 months, all depending on what service center you filed at (some are faster than others), or if you've received any Requests for Further Evidence it can delay you by months, and how quickly your fiance's consulate is at scheduling interviews.

Immigration does not care if you are ex-military for citizenship. Did you take the Citizenship Test yet? You are almost last on the priority list as you are already here in the states, not good news if you have a fiancee in a foreign country you want to Petition for Immigration. (Hint: Fiancee' much faster to get Visa than a Spouse, so get engaged only!) Los Angeles is the busiest Immigration Office (Laguna Niguel) in the states, so long wait. Los Angeles saves up Applications until they get a thousand or so, so they can swear you all in at the same time, so once your Application is signed off everything happens faster. Maybe 2 year wait?

There is no quota, so there is no backlog and no reason the process will be delayed except by processing time in the US, and queueing up in the workload of the US embassy.  How long it will actually take to be able to apply for the visa after the petition is approved depends on the embassy's workload and on how long it takes you to get your documents ready.

If you are a US citizen and she is outside the US, you should apply for a K visa.  Depending on where you live, it will take from one month to approximately five months to process.    It is a relatively simple application and you can fill it out youself online at www.uscis.gov.  You should include some information that proves your relationship with her is not a fraudulent one, like pictures of your wedding, a letter explaining how you met and dated and why you decided to marry.  Especially helpful are any children you have together or financial documents in both names.    After she is here, she can apply for her permanent residence.  I would suggest an attorney for that process because it involves a lot of paperwork, some of which is a bit complicated.
