How can I apply for my boyfriend's visa?

David Nabow Soloway
Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
Through filing a K-1 visa application package, a U.S. Citizen may apply for her fianc? to enter the U.S. to marry her within the required time. After the marriage, the couple may complete the steps for the husband to Adjust Status to become a Lawful Permanent Resident (to get a "Green Card"). The application process can be more complicated than it looks, and it would be wise to engage an immigration attorney to help assure that the applications are completed, with all necessary supporting documents, to help avoid delays and even risks of denial.

In order for a visitor to apply for residency through marriage to a US citizen, you need to apply for adjustment of status on form I-485 and your husband needs to petition for you concurrently on form I-130. You do not need to leave the country if your authorized stay expires as long as you file your application before immigration serves you with a Notice to Appear before an immigration judge. It's currently taking USCIS approximately 4-6 months to process your paperwork before you will be called in for an immigration interview. If your application is approved, USCIS will mail your Permanent Resident Card to your home address in a few weeks.
