Denton, TX Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Typically, the immigration officer at the port of entry will give you 6 months, but sometimes less. You can always file for an extension if you need to stay longer, but no guarantee it will be approved.

As you will both still be single by the application closing date, your fiancé should apply as unmarried. If he is selected, you can still be married and immigrate with him at the same time. If in the US, and able to adjust status, you can both put in I-485 applications for adjustment of status when his number appears on the visa bulletin. If overseas, you can apply through submitting form DS-260 immigrant visa application forms.

More information is needed. Are you subject to the 2 year residency requirement? Perhaps, there are other reasons why you may be disqualified from adjustment of status, even if you marry a U. S. Citizen. I strongly recommend an appointment with a competent and experienced immigration law firm like our office before you file.
