Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Tania,

The fastest way would be to come on a fiance visa, assuming you're a U.S. citizen, you've been with him in the past two years (presumably in Mexico or legally in the U.S.) and there are no domestic violence or similar criminal convictions that you have. Also, he would have to be admissible to the U.S. - no bad criminal convictions, communicable diseases, likely to require money to live from the government, etc.

I would be happy to help you out if you contact me offline. Check me out at http://www.yardum-hunter.com, telephone 818 609 1953 or email me at [email protected]. Until then, please don't rely on this as legal advice.

If he is living in Mexico, then the K-1 fiancee visa would be the proper process to bring him to the U.S. for the purpose of marrying him and subsequently, sponsoring him for permanent residency.

Tania,

A fiance visa is your best option if he is living in Mexico and you are a U.S. Citizen, and you have been with him in the last two years in Mexico (presumably) or legally in the U.S. The processing time is approximately 5-6 months for the fiance visa to get approved by the USCIS and then he may have to wait another 2-6 months for an interview at the consulate in Mexico. I would be happy to set up an appointment with you via telephone or in person (my office is in San Francisco), and could easily meet you in the South Bay. You may call my office at 415-387-1364 or email at [email protected].

I can provide you more detailed information when we talk about your particular situation.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Brill, Esq.
