Is having a fiancée visa the easiest way for my boyfriend to be able to bring me to his country? He will be?

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 !

Option 1: Since you have physically met him, you can file a FIANCE VISA Petition. You will have to prove that the two of you intend to marry and that you have physically met during the past 2 years. This takes quite a bit of time (about 12 months). Once he is approved, he will enter the country and you will have 90 days to marry. As soon as you marry, you must file a petition for him to receive a green card. \nOption 2: If you have a good faith relationship, you can marry him in Jamaica. Then you file a petition for a K visa. About 12 months later, he will enter the US with a K visa. Then, he needs to apply for a green card. GOOD LUCK!

First off ... how old are you? your spelling and and grammar is awful. \n\nI think he sees you as a easy way in get into this country (basically you are his passport).  \n\nDon't let him fool you, he will be acting that he loves you, and he will properly ask you to marry him!!  Sorry to sound so down about it all hun, but the truth hurts! \n\nI am sure you could find a decent English man over here, who will want to date you for being you, not as an easy target to get into the country.

You may not do this as a permanent resident -- only as a U.S. citizen. The only thing you can do now (should you get married) is apply for an immigrant visa for him and then wait several years. In the meantime, he would not be able to come here, nor obtain work authorization.\n\nThe fastest way for him to get here is either (1) you naturalize and petition for a spouse's visa for him which would allow him to come here, get a work authorization, and apply for his green card, or (2) he immigrates on his own accord.\n\nGood luck!

unless one of you will be moving in the future to either the usa or uk then no.\n\nwhat would be the point in even starting as you would have to visit each other regularly for this to work\n\nnot to mention the calls / emails etc etc\n\nthink long and hard over this as i would say you may fall for him and the distance comes between you as neither of you wants to move.\n\n\nits a long way to move only to find out he lives like a pig or is a neat freak or goes to bed really early or not at all etc etc....\n\nyou may think you know them from the visits but to a certain extent you will only see 'best behaviour'\n\ngood luck

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...

i dunno, why don't you bring him/her over to india instead. it's a lot nicer than malaysia i'd say, plus since you're indian, it should be easier for you arrange a visa for her/him.

I've gone through the interview for a fiancee visa. I was interviewed twice in the Philippines (U.S.Embassy). It's not really that hard and scary. The first interview was with a filipino and the second was an american consul, both in one day. Just make sure you have completed the required papers and be consistent with your answers. I got the result of my interview on the same day and got my fiancee visa in 3 days. The spouse visa is almost the same.

Short answer: Brining a foreign fiancee to the United States is a long and drawn out process that can take around one year.   However you can do the process yourself, without using a lawyer, assuming you are reasonably educated and that your case is fairly routine.  Start the process by following the guidelines by the US gov't at the link I've quoted below.  Also check out the asawa web site and its forums, while not official or always accurate, it contains several interesting discussion forums about bringing a filipinia spouse to the USA, including talk about visa and cultural matters.

There is a great deal of information here: http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/fiance.htm The application process is detailed, however it looks easy enough to follow. The instructions are pretty much plain language.

The I-129F needs to be filed for the fiancee visa. Following that, the petition is sent to the National Visa Center for processing. At that time, they will ask for an affidavit of support (I-864) and you will need to complete the visa processing forms. Once they are done with it, they will send the petition to the U.S. Embassy Consular Section in London at which time your fiancee will be called for an interview (and its a good idea for you to be there as well). At the interview, he/you will need to prove the bona fides of your relationship and intent to marry. Assuming he gets approved, he can then enter the U.S. and you must get married within 90 days and then apply for his adjustment of status (green card).\n\nNo quick way of doing this unfortunately.\n\nGood luck!

As long as he is amerincan citizen it could be quite easy, before getting married you/lawyer/other expert need to request a fiance visa, once you receive it you have around 3 months to marry him and later on you will be receiving your green card. Every other way will take longer. You can search on yahoo for more information about fiance visa.

If your Dad is a US citizen, then you should be too so I am assuming he is not your biological father.  With that assumption, your fiance should contact INS and simply state that he wants to visit and if all goes well with family, etc.. that you want to marry and what will happen at that point. \n\nHe will probably get a green card too.  You should get your citizenship as soon as you can, I dont know the rules on how long  you have to be in the country. \n\nIf he works in computers or another hard to recruit field, he may be able to get an H1b visa as well.

I need some more information, click add information and tell me how you're in the U.S. now... tourist visa or other visa... and if you met here, whether you were engaged before your visit or not, etc.\n\nOK thanks for the info. I would not recommend marrying now, because it could be considered fraud... a tourist visa implies that you are not intending to stay, if you were already engaged, it would look bad. So the question is where to get married... choose which nation you want to be married in and then ask for a fiancee visa there... I don't know what the legal process is like in Italy, but here in Argentina, I married my wife with a tourist visa, they don't have a fiancee visa or any legal recognition of affianced people (they just say "novio/novia", the same as boyfriend or girlfriend). You'll want to be prepared to spend some time in Italy if you marry there, however, because it's a fairly long process. The spouse visa is two different applications, in the first one you'll fill out a bunch of forms, including information on all former spouses, everywhere you've ever lived, every job you've ever had, and a photo they'll give you specifics on. It's $380. Bring wedding photos and copies of letters proving you love eachother. If they approve the initial filing, then you have to get a criminal record check from any nation you've lived in for more than six months... so you'll be looking at least at getting one from Italy. Here in Argentina it's a two month process, but Ireland processed our request (my wife lived their for eight months a couple of years ago) from one day to the next when they received the request by mail. You'll have to provide proof that you've had certain vaccinations, have a medical examination, and you'll have to swear you've never been a member of a communist or terrorist organization. She will have to fill out papers proving that she, by herself, makes enough money for the both of you and any other household members to live 20% above the poverty line. This is legally binding; if you ever have to use a public service, such as welfare or food stamps, the government will sue your wife. Then you pay $380 again and wait for approval.\n\nGo to USCIS.gov and look for the following papers to get an idea what you'll have to fill out.\n\ni-130\nDS-230\nG325a\n\nIf you want to marry in the U.S., she has to file a fiancee visa in the U.S. She must physically be in the U.S. to file it, and you have to be in Italy, be approved, then as the next answerer said, you have to marry within three months of your arrival. Hope this helps. It's a long process that I'm currently going through myself.\n\n\n\nIf you want to stay together during the process, I would recommend marrying in Italy, and staying there during the application process, if that's financially doable for you. That's what I'm doing now, I'm a tourist here in Argentina for about a year and a half now because of this process... the marriage was in March, and the visa process has been since then, but the embassy has been nice about it, the main delays have been lack of information and problems gathering all the necessary papers. Be sure to ask at the embassy as soon as you're married whether you need a Hague apostille (seal from the international court) on your marriage certificate so the U.S. recognizes it. I hope this helps you to prevent the same delays I've had

There is no speedy way to get a fiance visa, it takes time (about 4-6 months).  All you can do is make sure you fill out all the forms correctly, provide all information that is requested and have plenty of evidence of ongoing relationship.\n\nWhile you are waiting for your approval, you can start having your fiance see about getting  police clearances, get all the required vacinations, etc. so that when you do get the approval, you'll be ready to submit your package 3 to the embassy right away.
