VISA QUESTIONS

There is a visa avaiable for a fiancé, the K-1, if he intends to come to the US to marry you. It involves the filing of the I-129F petition with USCIS. After that is approved, he applies for the K-1 visa at the US Embassy and after arriving in the US and getting married, applies for permanent residency. The State Department has created a very detail oriented page to find out everything you need to know about the K-1 visa process (http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_2994.html). The process can take 8-10 months (or longer). However, keep in mind that as a basic requirement, you have to have seen your fiancé within the last 2 years to be able to file the initial petition.
