Stratford, TX Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Hi Jason.. Yes it can happen. First, have you physically met your girlfriend within the last two years? Second, are you a US citizen? Third, since you are on SS disability, you may need a joint sponsor who can submit his/her tax returns to show USCIS that his income meets the minimum threshold. The minimum amount needs to be at least 125 percent of the poverty level based on your household size. So add up all the people who live in your household now plus your girlfriend and the children she will accompany her to the US, and multiply by 1.25. If all the aforementioned factors can be met, you can sponsor her for a fiancé K visa which takes a little less than a year and then she can adjust status to get her green card after she travels to Texas and gets married to you. Consider working with an attorney. Some of us, including myself, charge a very affordable flat fee for the entire case process. I enter an appearance of attorney of record in the case by filing the G28 form.  Counsel in any state can represent you both. 

If they plan to get married, they should get married outside the US and the permanent resident than files I 130. Right now the priority date is current, but it doesn't mean it will remain so. Your friend should meet with an immigration lawyer.

See if they can come to visit first. Then you can always apply for their green cards while they are here. There are some issues, however, that should be discussed with an experienced immigration attorney.
