K1 Russian Fiancee Visas Assistance
To bring your Russia fiancee to the USA you will need a fiancee visa (K1 visa). There is NO OTHER AMERICAN VISA available for marrying in the U.S.
Other types of visas for a Russian fiancee such as tourist, student or business visas are not suitable if your intention is marriage. If you marry your girlfriend visiting you on one of those visas, her legal status in the USA will be questionable, and she may be refused permanent resident status on the basis of visa fraud if the USCIS (former INS) believes her aim of visiting United States was simply for marrying a US Citizen. Once a violation of visa regulation is recorded, it will be difficult if not impossible for the person to ever receive a K-1 visa or any other type of visa to the USA.
Deciding whether to hire an immigration attorney is an important decision. Some immigration matters can be relatively straightforward. Many times, however, it is useful to hire an immigration attorney--for three reasons. First, immigration law is one of the most complicated areas of U.S. law (second only to tax law). Second, U.S. immigration law is changing all the time, and it is hard to keep up, even for many immigration lawyers. Third, immigration lawyers can help make sure that your application goes through the immigration bureaucracy smoothly and quickly. However, inquire with the residency program you are joining about the possibility of someone from the system handling immigration for you (big hospitals and universities often have such offices).
If you decide you want to hire an immigration attorney, there are many ways to find a good one. You should do research. Ask your colleagues from the program (they went through the same process just last year or two years ago) about good immigration lawyers (they do not need to be located in the area in which you will be working). Your employer may know of a good immigration lawyer. Many immigration lawyers are members of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA). You can find out whether there are any AILA immigration attorneys in your area
Below is a short youtube video that describes how to get your Fiancee Visa
-
The consular officer may ask for additional information according to the circumstances of the case. Documents
in foreign languages should be translated.
Take clear, legible photocopies of civil documents, such as birth and marriage certificates, to the
interview. Original documents can then be returned to you.
As a fiancee, you are not required to fulfill this requirement at the time of your medical
examination for a fiancee visa. However, you may want to do so. These vaccinations are required
when you adjust status following your marriage.
After getting the fiancee visa, your fiancee enters the U.S. through a U.S immigration port-of-entry.
The U.S. immigration official gives your fiancee instructions on what to do when he/she enters the United
States. You must get married within 90 days of your fiancee’s entry into the United States.
Expert Tip # 11
Do send in all forms. When in doubt submit it. Each consulate has their own procedures and practices. If you have a form and you are not sure that it is needed, fill it out and send it in anyway. If it is not needed they will discard it. But if it is needed the process will not be delayed.
