We can help you secure a marriage visa for yourself or a loved one.
A marriage visa is a type of visa that allows a foreign national to enter a country based on their marriage to a citizen or legal resident of that country. In the context of U.S. immigration, a marriage visa allows a foreign spouse of a U.S. citizen or green card holder to come to the U.S. and eventually obtain lawful permanent resident status.
The main purpose of a marriage visa is to enable a spouse from another country to join their U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse in the U.S. and stay with them permanently. To apply for a marriage visa in the U.S., the couple must be legally married. However, common law marriages and marriages recognized in the jurisdiction where they took place are generally accepted.
To obtain a marriage visa, you must start by filing a petition with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services on behalf of your spouse. Once the petition is approved, your spouse can apply for an immigration visa and attend an interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate in their home country.
