The approved petition will be forwarded by USCIS to the American consular office where the alien fiance will apply for his or her visa. Both petitioner and beneficiary must be legally able and willing to conclude a valid marriage in the United States. The petitioner and beneficiary must have previously met in person within the past two years unless the Attorney General waives that requirement. North Texas fiance and spousal visa lawyers understands the process. The marriage must take place within 90 days of admission into the United States. Following the marriage, the alien spouse must apply to the USCIS to establish a record of entry for conditional permanent residence status. After two years, the alien may apply to the USCIS for removal of the conditional status. Let a North Texas spousal and fiance visa attorney take care of the documentation for you.
Spousal and fiance visa lawyers in North Texas can file relative petitions for the husbands and wives, to begin the process for them to be able to immigrate to the U.S. If the U.S. citizen has filed the petition, while it is being processed the U.S. citizen can also file a separate petition to let the husband or wife come to the U.S. as a K3 nonimmigrant category to await approval of the relative petition, and then apply to adjust status and become a permanent resident. This status cannot be granted to a person who is already in the U.S. Jessie M. Thomas, a spousal and fiance visa lawyer in North Texas understand this process and can guide you through it.
