My fiance is half Italian and half Peruvian, living in Peru. She can use her Italian passport to enter the US and the same for her 3 yr old daughter. We are planning on gettting married in the states in Dec. Our problem is that the father of her 3 yr old does not want to give permission for her to leave. She has 100% custody of the child. Does she have to have his signature? Also, how long does the provisional green card last before she can apply for permanent? Does her daughter have to be in the country to get permanent green card? or is it even possible for her to get her card and be out of the country? Thanks for the info...
