Visa Marriage

FOR AN IMMIGRANT ABROAD MARRIED TO A U.S. CITIZEN

The U.S. citizen first applies for his/her spouse’s immigrant visa.
The U.S. Consul will require proof of the good faith of the marriage,
a nd the U.S. citizen’s affidavit of support, and police clearances and
medical test results.

If the applicant committed a crime or overstayed in the U.S., it may affect the immigration process.
Each crime and overstay should be evaluated. Please call us for an evaluation.

Once the application is filed with the Consulate the application will be reviewed to see all necessary documentation has been provided.
The Consulate will then call the applicant for an interview.

At the interview and the approval, the Consulate will provide a sealed envelope to be delivered to the U.S. Immigration on arrival in the U.S., which must be within 4 months of the interview.

If the couple has been married fewer than 2 years, provisional residence will be granted; if married more than 2 years, a permanent green card will be issued.
