Gladewater, TX Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

It's generally easiest and fastest to get married while your fiance is here and just file while she's here. If the case is all filed here, she would generally be allowed to stay while the case is being processed.

Significantly more information is needed in order to answer your questions. If, for example, you entered the U.S. lawfully and with inspection, but then overstayed your initial visa or otherwise violated its terms, you still may be able to adjust status in the U.S. as the spouse of a U.S. citizen. There really is no substitute for having an immigration attorney learn all of the relevant information about you, your immigration-related history, your spouse and your marriage in order to advise you about eligibilities, options and strategies. Some immigration law firms, including mine, offer legal services on a "flat fee" basis so that a client will know the total expense from the very beginning, and a few immigration law firms, including mine, offer an initial consultation free of charge.

If she obtains a tourist visa at the foreign consulate to visit you, you can then meet the face to face requirements. After she returns to her country then you can apply for a fiancé visa and after you get married she can adjust status here stateside to get her green card. Counsel anywhere in the USA can represent you for the lifetime of the case.
