“I
am a U.S citizen, my fianceé is from the Philippines, We want to get
married and live here in the States. But I don’t know how we could
be together. We love each other so much and we want to start our own
family. “

You’re
maybe asking the same question above. A lot of Americans who fell in
love in foreign ladies have trouble in marrying their partner and
bringing her to the states. But don’t worry, because we will
discuss the steps for the legal process of bringing home your future
wife through the U.S. Marriage Visa.
According
to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration services, there are three
ways to help your fiancé acquire citizenship or permanent residence.
K1
Fiancé Visa
This
visa permits your fianceé to enter and stay the United States for 90
days so that you can marry her. Once you were married, you can help
her apply for permanent residence (Form I-485) and remain there while
application is still in process. You need to file the Form I-129F or
the Petition for Alien Fiancé. Once the filing is done and the USCIS
approved your petition, they will forward it to the National Visa
Center. The NVC then will process it and will forward your petition
to the U.S Embassy. Finally, your fiancé will be invited by the
embassy for the actual visa. But before this application can be
filed, there are basic eligibility requirements.

These
are the necessary requirements for filing the visa:
- You must be
citizen of the United States. - You and your partner intend to marry within the 90 days of his/her stay.
- You are both free and allowed to get married.
- You have met two years prior to the visa application.
Exceptions
for the waiver:
- If meeting your partner violates strict custom or social practice.
- If you prove that meeting your partner will result in your hardship.
Application for Permanent Residency
Now
that you were married, his/her us fianceé visa will automatically be expired after 90 days. This
time, you have to help her file the Application for Permanent
Residence or to Adjust Status using the Form I-485.
K2
Fiancé Visa
This visa is applicable for your fiancé if he/she has a child less
than 21 years of age. Just make sure to include the name of your
fiancé’s child( ren) on your I-129F fiancé petition.
Application
for Employment Authorization
Your
fiancé’s visa was approved, you were already married, and you also
applied for permanent residency, now what’s next?
Although
he/she can now have a permanent residence status, he/she still lacks
one thing, the authorization for employment. Unless you are rich, and
can provide him/her with all the financial support he/she needs for a
lifetime. Then skip this part. Application for Employment
Authorization or the Form I-765 is immediately require if your fiancé
has to work in the States.
