Immigration Options Through a U.S. Citizen Spouse, Parent, Son, Daughter or Fiancé in York

There are many different paths that you can consider as you begin the immigration process. Below, are there paths that you should take into consideration.

Adjustment of Status

If you are a United States Citizen, your spouse, parent or child who is in the United States, may be able to adjust his or her status and become a permanent resident within the United States. There are certain requirements that you must meet. Attorney Rosina Stambaugh can assist in reviewing those eligibility requirements with you to begin the process.

Immigrant Visas

Are you a United States Citizen with a spouse, parent or child that is living in another country? If you want to bring them to the United States you have the option to petition to bring him or her with an immigrant visa. As a relative, you would be able to sponsor them by filing an application with USCIS. This path will help your family member enters the U.S., so he or she can become a lawful permanent resident.

Fiancé Visa

If you are a United States citizen who is engaged to a foreign national and want to bring him or her to the U.S. to get married, you can begin the process with a Fiancé Visa. You will need to work with a York fiancé immigration attorney to learn about your options and determine which type of petition or green card application is right for your unique situation.

In order to obtain a K-1 visa to help a foreign fiancé immigrate to the U.S., you must be able to prove that you, as the petitioner, are a citizen; that you intend to marry your fiancé within 90 days of entry date; and that you are both single and able to get married. Once you're married, you can apply for your adjustment of status.

It is important to remember that you and your fiancé must be married within 90 days of admittance to the U.S. The K-1 visa automatically expires after 90 days and it cannot be renewed. Should you fail to get married, your fiancé may be deported and their eligibility for immigration benefits in the future may be impacted.
