How do i start

[kaye_4u 0]

Hey guys. I just recently got married to my fiance and we would like to commence the filing process. I am a bit confused as to what to do. Im in Jamaica now and he lives in Florida. I was planning on going to Florida on my visiting visa then we commence the filing. However, i saw where they say i would have to come back to Jamaica and file the I-130.

Please help me as I am not sure how to proceed. i do not want to mess up my chances of getting the green card.

Thanks.

Your husband can file i-130 now and he would need to submit a copy of your marriage certificate. The GUIDES at the top of this page will help you.

I have read through the guide but I am still unclear about one thing - Can i come to the US on my visitor's visa then my husband files the I-130?

Sure you can visit on a valid visitor's visa while having a pending I-130 petition.

But you being allowed entry depends on the officer making that determination at POE.

Yes, your husband can file the I-130 before or while you are int he USA, but your tourist visa only allows visiting- ie you;d need to go back home when your time on the tourist visa is up and do the medical and spousal visa interview back home.

You can visit, however if U R married U have to be honest and say so

if asked, make sure you travel with documents showing its just a visit

like job letter,apt lease or if U own a business that shows ties in JA

to return to.
