Legal Question in Immigration Law in Florida

I want to marry a Cameroonian woman I have not met face to face. I only need her in the United States for less than a year. I will then return to Cameroon with her. What is the best visa for her to request at the US consulate in Cameroon?

If you never met in person, you cannot petition for this woman.

Even a Fiancee visa petition requires for you and her to meet in person wihtin the past 2 years. You have to be a US citizen.

She might be able to apply for a Visitor's visa, which is likely to be denied.

You can file for a K-1 fiancee visa after meeting her in person. You may find detailed information here:

I'm sorry, but I don't agree with the first attorney who posted. If you cannot meet her in person, there needs to be an extreme hardship circumstance or perhaps based on some other cultural reason. This is the only exception, and it is very hard to receive a waiver of this requirement -- but it is possible under the law.

Note, most out-of-state attorneys can legally help you because we are permitted to practice federal immigration law outside of our state of jurisdiction. Please feel free to contact me for a free initial consultation.

Sincerely,
