Georgia Immigration Help

Question:

Is it possible to marry an immigrant in the U.S. while on visa and have them stay here legal or is there more to do?

Answer:

Based on your question it isn’t clear whether or not YOU are a U.S. Citizen. If you are a U.S. citizen there are several options that you and your fiancé have:

(1) get married in India and then use the Consular Process. This will allow him to then come to the U.S. and become a Legal Permanent resident (Green Card). After he is a legal resident for 3 years he can then apply to Naturalize and become a U.S. citizen by using the N-400 process.

(2) He could get a K-1 Fiancé visa, travel to the U.S. and get married here. Please be aware that there are time restrictions that apply to a K-1 visa and when you have to get married. After the marriage in the U.S. he could then apply for an Adjustment of Status and become a Lawful Permanent Resident. After being married for 3 years he could then apply for Naturalization through the N-400 process and become a U.S. Citizen.

I would advise you to consult with an Immigration Attorney that can help you complete either of these processes in the most expedited manner.

Good Luck & Best Wishes on you upcoming Marriage!!!!
