Hey guys, I was searching forum but couldn't find an answer for this question. I just recently propose one girl and she said yes :o:o:o Im pretty happy about it. The problem is that she is oversea and only way for her to come over here is apply for visa. We did it but she got denied, consular said that she need to apply for fiancé visa. Im not sure how that is possibly bcs I will apply for a GC only in a end of this month. Any idea or inputs?
 
Fiance visa thing is for US citizens.


I'm sorry that she was denied visa, I'm in the same situation like you, she said YES and applied for visa and was approved


here is the best solution for your situation.

1- patience
2- get your GC ASAP
When you get your GC, you can apply for her a petition to live in USA with you "GC for her" the waiting time used to be 4 years, good news that "and for unknown reasons" the waiting time is as short as 6 months http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_5145.html

You should get your GC 2/2011, her GC approved 8/2011, this is why patience is important. "you can also go and visit her using RTD"

Good luck
 
Raziel, thanks for reply, just quick question can I apply for that petition even if we are not married yet? and what form is it that I need to feel out?

I was so suprised too, my eyes were wide open for 3 days. USCIS finally realized the imortance of having your spouse with you while you are a resident.

It didn't work out for me, because I'm still waiting for my GC, I don't beleive I can submit I-130 without it.
 
From I-130 instructions:

If you are a permanent resident, you must file your petition with a copy of the front and back of your permanent resident card. If you have not yet received your card, submit copies of your passport biographic page and the page showing admission as a permanent resident, or other evidence of permanent resident status issued by USCIS or the former INS.

or other evidence of permanent resident status issued by USCIS or the former INS. Will Asylum I-94 count as such evidence? I hope so but I don't think so.
 
According to the US Dept. of State website, depending on your nationality, the wait time is ridiculously short these days, some as short as 6 months.

But the question is, where are you gonna get married.
 
I think he meant since she can't come over here, then where / HOW are you going to get married, since I-130 requires GC + marriage document.
 
I was thinking Canada but that means she has to get a visa to Canada first then i will travel to Canada and meet with her so can someone explain better on a best case scenario option for my future wife. If she get a visa to Canada from Africa and then can i file for her in Canada right after we get married in Canada while she stays there in Canada. Can someone please elaborate further on this matter, thanks
