So you want you brother to marry your girl, and when he marries her you are going to file a petition to get her here. I am pretty sure USCIS would revoke your citizenship for this one.

Look at his previous posts, he is married, so presumably he is getting divorced first?

Sounds like this marriage will be by proxy. So the answer is no.

hi everybody....that hat i was afraid of and sorry if i wasnt clear enough.......my brother will take care of marriage procedure only ....like his sign ature

and setting up the paperwork....not marrying the girl....it is like having an attorney.... i hope i kind of make it clearer now....on the marriage contract

it will be my name and info and my wife' s ....

So you are not married now?

The question is -- will you be at the marriage ceremony? As others have said many times on this forum, proxy marriages (where one of the people getting married is not present), are not sufficient for USCIS purposes.

Will you be physically with your wife at any time during or after the marriage? Immigration law is very clear that you must be legally married and have consummated the marriage. This means you must have had sex with the person after the marriage took place. If you marry but are not physically with the person after the marriage you are not considered married in the eyes of US immigration and cannot apply for a spousal visa.

This means you must have had sex with the person after the marriage took place.

"Consummated" in terms of US Immigration simply means spending a night together. What you do during that night is your own business (FWIW, many will just assume that a couple will have done the dictionary definition of the word).

Just wondering if it would be easier by doing K1 visa processing instead,

and just marry her in US without going through this tricky processing???

Good luck.
