Hello,
I have a question, my spouse lives abroad and has never come to USA. I am getting ready to sponsor for him. Do I just need to fill I-130 form along with G325A or do I need to fill other forms as well. Please let me know.
Thanks.
You have to decide on whether you want him to wait at the country of residence OR if you want him to come to the US right away.
If he comes to the US on a tourist visa, he can apply for an adjustment of status (I-485) and also an I-130 (petition for alien relative).
If he stays where he is, it might take longer since he would have to wait until a visa number is issued and he can receive it at the local embassy of his country of residence.
Does this answer your questions ?
applying for an immigrant visa from inside the US obviously makes sense to me in my situation
Kindly explain why it makes obvious sense in your situation?
Doing so will allow us to live together immediately soon after our new marriage. Otherwise I will have to be in the US while she's outside and waiting on her application.
I got my citizenship and now I am planning to get married. My question is that the person to whom I am planning to get marry, she came to US on H1 visa and later it did not get renewed and now her status is illegal. If I get married to her what is the procedure should I adopt and what are the documents do I need to submit. Also suggest me whether it is advisable to consult attorney.
I appreciate if you can respond asap.
