I am a U.S Citizen, and my boyfriend lives in Mexico. Is there a way he can come to the U.S besides getting a Visa?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
If your boyfriend wishes to do so, he can apply for a visitors visa to come to the US to visit for short periods of time. That can be done immediately.  The issuance of it is in the discretion of an American consular officer. If you are contemplating that he will stay in the US for longer than short periods of visit, you would have to wait until he goes through the process of applying for a student visa, which is again issued in the discretion of a consular officer. If you are thinking marriage, you might apply for him under either K-1 fiancé petition or, if you marry him in Mexico, directly for his residence status.  Those are longer processes.  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.

Can a non-US citizen marry in the US, even with the tourist visa and apply for marriage visa later?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Phong Thanh Tran (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
Yes, a visitor to the US can get married to a citizen and submit the I-130 relative petition at a later time when it is more convenient for the parties. However, depending on the circumstances of the case, it may also be possible for the visitor to apply for adjustment of status on form I-485 while the visitor is still physically present in the country.

How can I speed up my visa application?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney William D. Fong (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Fong Ilagan
No, there is no way to speed up the process for a U visa. These typically take some time as it is necessary to have a part of the I-918 certified by a Federal or State LEA. Please note that it is a short term nonimmigrant visa. If she has left the US, she may have abandoned her application for change of status and if you are a dependent beneficiary, your application for change of status cannot be approved. Consult immediately with another experienced immigration attorney.
