Hey everyone!

My wife came to the U.S. in August, we were not married at the time, and after coming to visit for a few months, we decided to get married. We officially tied the knot in early December, and have just been enjoying married life since, but I am now confused about which visa type we should pursue. Since she is already in the U.S. (and we don't want her to have to leave to get approved for her visa/permanent residency), can anyone offer us some advice on what guide to follow?

Thanks in advance, I've heard nothing but great things about the site and users!

A visa is used to enter the US - since she is already here, you may pursue the Following Path/Guide :thumbs:

Thanks for the info!

Can anyone who has completed this process detail any items or issues in particular to watch out for when filing the I-130? We just want to make sure we get everything right and don't have any worries.

Thanks again!

** No problem; I'll move the thread to "Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas" where you will likely get the answers you're looking for.

Good Luck & Welcome to VJ.

If you have problems reading and understanding Government documents (which are often confusing, to say the least), or want just peace of mind, you may want to explore the option of retaining a professional. A fee of about $1K should cover everything, including an immigration attorney being present with you at the interview.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
