Once married file for the I-485 to adjust your status. The I-485 includes the application for pettition, work permit etc.. Once you have filed that it will take approximately 3 months to get your work permit and social security card depending on which state you live. The more populated states with high immigrant populations takes longer. States like New york, Texas, Georgia, California, Arizona, you get the point. Happy marriage

Since you are US citizen there is no waiting period involved because this category is not governed by any quota or per country limit.  The usual processing time from filing an I-130 to getting an immigrant visa is up-to 6 months. Since the CIS office where you filed the petition is taking a longer time for processing the I-130, you should go ahead and file for K3.  K3 will be processed much more quickly and probably before September 2006.\n\nOnce your I-130 petition is approved by CIS they will forward it to NVC that will log in the case.  NVC will notify you for providing an affidavit of support for you wife.  Once you submit the correct affidavit of support, NVC will forward your case to Chennai. Chennai will then schedule your wife for a visa interview and subsequent issuance of an immigrant visa.\n\nSo you can see it will be another 4 months minimum after the approval of I-130 for your wife to get an immigrant visa.

Ok I can will tell you the steps and give you some web addresses, I have already done this, I am USA citizen and I married someone in a part of Africa.  First you need to file the form I-130 and send this in, this is the paper that will get your wife her visa, but right now it can take up to 1.5 year for this process, but after you file this form you will get a receipt in the mail showing they received it and it is being looked too (you will get the receipt in no more than 30 days, I got mine in 2 weeks.  After you get this receipt you need to file the I-129F form, this form will get your wife the K-3 visa, which means she can come here to be with you while the process of her normal visa is being done.  Always remember, your wife can come here on the K-3 visa cause she is considered your immediate family and they put this first when doing the visas.  The first form costs 190$ to file, and the second one is 170$.  After you do this second form you dont have to do anything else unless the immigration contacts you and needs more information, like information about your financial status, how you will support her while she is here, and you might have to have a meeting with someone from immigration.  After they receive the I-129F form at the immigration office they will contact the embassy in her country and the embassy will contact her to prepare for her meeting with the ambassador and so forth.  I hope this helps and gives you a good idea.  Below is some webs that are very important, and the first one is where you should download and print out the forms i told you about.

You can get a fiance visa and have 90 days to get married here in USA and start the process. Other wise it could take you a long  time.\nYou have to file the petion here.\n Check this site: www.immigration-bureau.org/

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.

Processing of the I-485 Adjustment of Status to Permanent Resident usually takes about a year or so in most cases, if married to a USC.

"exactly"...?  Very hard to say, each case varies.\n\nBasically, you will need to be able to convince the INS that you have enough money and income to support him when he gets here...   Then he will need to apply to the US embassy in his own country for a fiancee (k-1) visa, and satisfy all the health and background checks, prove that he will be able to have a job in the US when he arrives...  \n\nYou may be able to get the application processed in a few weeks, it may take much, much longer.  Once is approved, be aware that you MUST marry within 90 days of his arrival in the USA.\n\nBe prepared for the possibility that he will be refused...  having a US fiancee or spouse does NOT automatically allow you to come to the USA

K-1 Fiance (e) Visa to marry an American Citizen: This visa is issued to those aliens (immigrants/foreigners) who are outside the United States and wish to enter the US for a purpose of marriage to a US Citizen. The American Consulate, or Embassy normally issues this visa in the country where the alien resides. \n\nApplicants must have personally met within the last 2 years. If you and your Fiancée fell in love as pen pals, or have met and corresponded only over the Internet, your Fiancée will not be eligible for a K-1 Visa to marry you in the US. You are required to have met in person within the past two years by the Immigration Marriage Fraud Amendments of 1986. \n\nA Fiancée Visa is a non-immigrant visa allowing the lady to enter the US for the purpose of marriage. The visa is only valid for 90 days, during which the marriage must occur.\n\nUpon entry to the US, the visa will be stamped by the Immigration Officer with the permission to work during the validity of the visa. It is expected that the couple will be married within the 90-day period. Once married, the couple must file the application for adjustment of status with all the necessary supporting documents (procedure explanation and sample forms included with the package below). \n\nApplicants must be legally able to marry in the US. If you, or your Fiancée are in divorce, or annulment proceedings, these must be completer and the documents to prove you are legally free to marry must be available.\n\nIf the necessity to have met your fiancée in person would violate strict and long established customs of your, or your fiancée's foreign culture or religion practices. \n\nIf it can be established that the necessity to have met your alien fiancée personally would result in extreme hardship for you

That visa is null and void. You need to re-apply not as a K1(engaged to a US Citizen), but as a K3(Married to a USC).

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.

Before you marry while your still in the USA you need to File \na K-1 Fiance Visa. They will approve it or deny it. Once it is approved he can get his passport to come to the USA. You have 90 days to marry after his arrival to the USA. His Visa will be conditional and if he does not marry within the 90 days he will have overstayed his visa and a letter of deportation will be issued. Its actually not a hard process, it can be costly and can take some time to finish. Once you both are married in the USA you will need to file a 245-I application which consists of a (I-130 showing he is married to a US citizen and a 485-I is an adjustment of status) After filing this they will do a name check and then approve his greencard for 3 years. After 3 years he would then be able to file for citizenship as long as he meets the requirements.

I BELIEVE THAT IT IS 6 MONTHS AT A TIME...I HAVE FRIENDS THAT DO THIS EVERY YEAR AND GO TO ARIZONA AND THEN GO BACK AND IT SEEMS THAT THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO GO BACK FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS AND THEN THEY CAN COME BACK AGAIN. YOU WILL GET THE BEST ANSWERS FROM THE AMERICAN INS ONE WAY TO MAYBE SPEED THINGS UP IS TO COME HERE TO HIM GET MARRIED AND WHILE YOU ARE HERE FOR THE 6 MONTHS HE CAN FILE FOR YOU TO STAY BECAUSE THEN YOU WOULD BE HIS WIFE

You should definetly marry him in the US.\n\nIf he is in the US legally you can file for a change of status while he is here (if you get married before his status expires).\nIf you need more time you can both go to Mexico and request from the embassy a K-1 fiancee visa, this allows him to come in the US. You must get married withing 90 days of his arrival in the US on a K-1 visa.\n\nIf you go and get married in Mexico, he needs to file for a perment residency at the local consulate which will take 6-15 months to process, during this time he can not come to the US.
