Simply because your loved one has arrived on U.S. soil, it does not mean the foreigner can remain in the U.S. without first returning home. There are many U.S.
citizens married to foreigners who reside all over the world, outside the U.S. The marriage itself is not a ticket to the United States. Immigration processing
is still required. Marriage to a U.S. citizen forms a basis for immigration processing, but that process is still required and must be done correctly before the
foreign fiancee or foreign bride can reside lawfully in the U.S. on a permanent basis.
If the foreigner entered the United States on either a K1 fiancee visa or K3 spousal visa, then the foreigner is welcome to remain in the U.S. and apply to become
a U.S. permanent resident green card holder based on a marriage to a U.S. citizen.
|
If the foreigner came to the U.S. on any visa other than the K visa, then in most cases it is necessary and proper to return the foreigner home,
and then bring her back on either fiancee K1 visa or spousal K3 visa. Each U.S. visa has a particular purpose and you
should not run the risk of violating immigration rules and cause problems for your loved one by using a visa for the wrong purpose.
|
There can be certain times when it makes sense to try and process a case "State-side" without first returning the foreigner home. Your best choice in how to
proceed depends on your situation.
| |
In order to advise properly we will need to know:
When the foreigner arrived in the U.S. What type of visa he or she has When his or her stay in the U.S. will expire Whether she has been out of status at anytime If married, when and where the marriage took place
We need the history before we can determine your options.
|
|
If your foreign fiancee or spouse is now in the U.S., or will be arriving shortly, we encourage you to call us and we will be glad to help determine the best
course of action in your circumstance. (See also, "Do I need an Attorney?")

Illegal Immigrant

If your foreign fiancee or spouse entered the U.S. illegally or on a visa, but now his or her stay on that visa has expired, then you should not take steps
without first consulting with a licensed and an experienced U.S. immigration attorney who specializes in this area of immigration law. There are a variety
of different laws that come into play. It gets complicated. Each case is different. Moreover, you should be cautious since there are many "legal services"
who will take advantage of the situation by charging excessive fees and then not performing services properly. Our law firm has been practicing marriage
based immigration law exclusively for more than 18 years. We are licensed and qualified experts. If you will phone us we will be glad to answer any of your
questions confidentially at no charge and see what can be done for you. We will also be glad to provide you with credentials upon your request.
