Hi,

I just recently became a citizen of the US. I am married to a man that has never been in the states and looking for a way for him to legally imigrate. Please let me know step by step what aplication I need to file for and how long the whole process takes. Thank you.

Please read the guides. Since you are married, your choices are K-3 or CR-1/IR-1 (CR-1 if you have been married less than 2 years, IR-1 if you have been married more than 2 years.) Both processes take about 9 - 12 months, depending upon your Consulate.

If you are both residing overseas, you can look at the guides for Direct Consular Filing (DCF) which is the quickest way.

If the link doesn't work, try the tab at the top of the page that reads 'Guides.'

Yes, please start with the Guides. It keeps us from having to re-type them for every new member.

You'll have plenty of questions later. That's what we're here for.
