Cocoa, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Initially I must caution you that if you and your fiancé are planning for her to travel to the States on a visiting visa for the purpose of marriage, she might have a problem with a U.S.C.I.S. officer who may believe that she abused the visitor's visa. The proper course where the purpose of coming to the US is to marry is for you to file a fiancée visa petition with U.S.C.I.S. Documents that your fiancée should bring over are her notarial certificate of birth, dissolution decrees from all former unions, and birth papers of any children that she may have. She should of course have a valid passport. Those would be the general papers from overseas that U.S.C.I.S. requires.  Whether she requires any other papers for any other agency would depend on the requirements of those agencies.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.

The immigration law has not changed and there is no special program that allows Green Holders from Vietnam to bring their spouses quicker to the U.S. than people from other countries. The current time frame to do so is approximately 3 years, which is the same for everyone except people from Mexico (which is 6 years).

You may qualify to gain citizenship through your father. In that case, your illegal employment in the U.S. would not matter. Please contact an attorney for further information.
