How can I get a visa for my girlfriend?

Answered by attorney William D. Fong (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Fong Ilagan
She can only qualify for the K-1 if she is your fiance, not your girlfriend. Student loans will not help for the affidavit of support. Find another joint sponsor; it does not need to be a parent or a relative. Your fiance is unlikely to be issued an F-1 student visa if she is engaged to a US citizen.

What is our best bet for Immigration to the US?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
If your boyfriend is a US citizen, he can sponsor you under a K-1 visa as the fiancée of the US citizen. He would file form I-129F with supporting documentation to U.S.C.I.S. He could also marry you and file for your immigration through form I-130 petition for alien relative. The waiting time for a K-1 visa is probably nine months and for an immigrant visa probably about a year. If he is a permanent resident, he would only be able to sponsor you for an immigrant visa and the waiting time would likely be more than a year. As your boyfriend is unemployed and going to school, you would require a cosponsor for your financial support. If his parents or siblings approve of the relationship, they could perhaps assume the role of cosponsor if they are gainfully employed.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

How can we tell if the HB 87 law will affect us?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Patrick Lee Jarrett (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Jarrett & Price, LLC
If you have initiated proceedings with USCIS, you should be fine. By waiting on the lawyer, do you mean for the lawyer to file your papers or to receive notification back from USCIS? HB 87 is a state law and cannot trump federal law. It provides enforcement provisions for employers. Without knowing more, it is difficult to provide you with a detailed response.
