Good morning,
My name is Karina and my fiancé is a dual citizen of Ecuador and the USA. He had to go back to Ecuador as he has ill family members. He cannot leave them long enough to come back to the USA to get married.
I am planning to go there and get married then apply for residency. I know I need a 12-IX visa and a letter of request must be written as part of the application. I am hoping to get the 12-IX visa without the aid of a lawyer and save some money, but have hired a lawyer to assist with my Residency visa.
Should I put that I plan to marry in my letter or will they likely deny me based on that information? Is there someone who can help me translate it, as I still only have a rudimentary understanding of Spanish?
Any and all advice would be very appreciated. It has been hard to be without him after being together for so long. I just want to get there and continue life.
Sincerely,
Karina
