Fiancee Petition. A Fiance Petition needs to be prepared. This is a petition that will allow your fiance to come to the U.S. in a relatively short period of time. Usually, it takes around 6 to 9 months for the petition to be approved at immigration in the United States. Subsequently, the approval would be sent to the U.S. Consulate or Embassy in your fiance's home country. When your fiance comes to the U.S., you will have ninety days to get married. Our firm can prepare the entire Fiance Petition and make it so it goes smoothly and correctly. You have to have physically seen your Fiance in the last two years. This is where pictures will likely be needed.

That could be an issue since you are going to have to show how you met and how long you have known her.

Yea, you must demonstrate that you met in person within 2 years prior to filing.

No proof that you met. Without proof, no approval.
