What Is a U.S. Visa?
If you are a foreign citizen who wishes to travel to the U.S., you may first need to obtain a visa.
Having a U.S. visa allows you to live in the U.S. for a specific purpose and over a fixed period of stay. If you already have a relative in the U.S., they may be eligible to sponsor your visa by filing a petition to the immigration lawyer bring you over. Otherwise, you may need to submit your application to seek permission to enter the country.
There are also certain categories of immigration visas that are only available to skilled professionals or businesses and are subject to an annual cap. This means there is a limit to the total number of visas that can be issued under a category each year. Applicants in these categories may need to wait for several months or even years before getting the visa.
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issues a monthly news bulletin where you can get information about visa availability and check your visa application status.
How can my partner join me in the U.S.?
If you are a U.S. citizen, there are different ways of bringing your foreign partner to join you in the U.S. This will depend on your nationality and the status of your relationship.
Spouse: If you are married, your foreign spouse can apply for a Nonimmigrant Spouse Visa, known as a K3 Visa. You will have to petition the USCIS and demonstrate evidence of a valid relationship between you and your spouse. If the petition is approved, your foreign spouse will then apply for a visa at a U.S. embassy or consulate in their country of residence. This will allow them to travel to the U.S. to join you.
Fiancée(e): If you have a foreign fiancée(e), you can bring them to the U.S. by applying for a Nonimmigrant Fiancée(e) visa, also known as a K1 Visa. You must demonstrate that you have both been in a relationship and are ready to marry. The visa application process also requires you to petition USCIS to demonstrate evidence of a genuine relationship. If the petition is approved, your foreign fiancée(e) will apply for a visa at the U.S. embassy or consulate in their country of residence. You must get married within 90 days of your fiancée(e)’s admission into the U.S.
Dependent Children: If your partner (spouse or fiancée) has dependent children, you may petition USCIS to bring them to the U.S. by filing K4 Visa or K2 Visa, respectively.
