Hi, my name is Michael and I'm trying to see if there were members here from Kyrgyzstan who I could connect with. I'm a U.S. Citizen from New Jersey who finally got the OK from my girlfriend's parents to marry their daughter. I'm currently at the very beginning of my journey and I feel quite lost. I've made inquiries online for lawyers, but from the sound of things on here and from the actual cookie cutter responses from many of these 'large firms' I would honestly rather try my own hand at this. That being said, I am completely lost from the get-go. This site is a great road map, but I wanted to see if there were any particular differences that I should be aware of when dealing with a Kyrgyzstan transaction. Any help and guidance would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Start with the guides at the top of the page. Are you going to get married here or in her country? There are also portals for each of the countries with embassy reviews, etc. I know this site is a lot to take in. Start with the guides it explains what the types of visas to consider are most likely k1- 129f petition if you want to be married here. Ir1/cr1 if you're going to marry there then file her as your wife...pros and cons to both. I chose k1. Another note, Is she already in the US?

Much appreciated. We will be getting married here and she is not already in the US. Will definitely check out the K1 guides and portals. Thanks for the guidance and direction.
