Will I be able to take my wife with me?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
For your wife to immigrate with you, she will have to go through a formal application process of submitting forms and documents to the consulate. Then a request for a visa number must be sent to the Department of State, and the visa number received before your wife can be seen for an interview at the consular post. If you wish her to go with you, you will have to delay your departure until she is processed for her immigrant visa. Whether the counselor pose can accommodate you with a faster schedule depends upon the discretion of the post.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.
