Helping Ecuadorian Fiancee get US residency

Post new topic

sasanchez

Does anyone have any experience with helping their fiancee get residency or a work visa in the United States. What has been your experience?

We've known each other for 5 years and already have a 1.5 year old and another on the way. Is petitioning for the Fiancee visa the right way to go?

Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

One of the things you will need to have is a letter of support for future spouse and a job to prove the ability to provide said support.

Good luck.  STATE  and VISA JOURNEY
