Dear Inquirer:

The proper prcoedure under these circumstances if to apply for a K-1 fiancee visa. She will be admitted to the US for a period of 90 days, during which they must marry. The final step is to file for "adjustment of status" to the green card.

I recommend that you email [email protected] or visit www.hanlonlawgroup.com if you would like to schedule an appointment for a confidential consultation to discuss this matter further.

Assuming that your son is a US citizen, his fiancee can apply for a K-1, fiancee, visa. Once she enters the US on the K-1, they need to get married within 90 days. It can take 6-10 months for the entire K-1 process to be completed, so they should start applying soon.
