From the USCIS site:

If you are a US Citizen you may petition for the following foreign national relatives to immigrate to the United States; however you must be able to provide proof of the relationships:

Husband or wife;

Unmarried child under 21 years old;

Unmarried son or daughter over 21;

Married son or daughter of any age;

Brother or sister, if you are at least 21 years old; or

Parent, if you are at least 21 years old.

I did not see any benefits available for Grandfather petitioning Granddaughter. As an aside, a K-1 is much faster than the type of petition you reference.

Be sure to double check the DOS site and USCIS for eligibility requirements.

That is a very interesting scenario!

Here Grandfather still an American? If so did son or daughter of grandfather claim American citizenship or were born in America?

If either of her parents are/were American at the time of her birth then she may be considered an American.

If that is the case she may have to provide documentary evidence such as birth certificate of american parent.

It would work only if Grandpa was US Citizen when her parent was born, and if her parent claimed US Citizenship before having your fiance then she would have been born to an American Citizen.

Very interesting!

Makes sence, but probably will have to be looked at by a lawyer.

If I remember the processing times on things like this, it can get up into the 5, 6, even 10 year wait. The K-1 may take less than a year or 2 at the most. Much quicker to go that route

"Derived" citizenship through one parent and a grandparent is described here:

jvmilan,

I couldn't help but notice that you referred to this woman as your fiancé. If that is, indeed, the case, then I applaud you for looking into if she could immigrate through her own family relations to give you options beyond the fiancé visa.

If my memory serves me well, jvmilan's fiancé (also from PI ?) left before the marriage could occur. I don't recall if she went to stay with a girlfriend and would only agree to see him intermittently, but not as a betrothed, or was it a case of possibly taking up with another petitioner? Aussiwench?

no no my pretty mermaid!!!

jv's fianceé was from PI, but she came over for ANOTHER guy and then he found out!! guess she took the guy whose petition cleared the fastest!

and then THAT guy came on the board spouting off negativities about jv!!

now ya 'member??

Ah yes, now I do. I was half on the right track. Let's hope he's found a woman with integrity and scruples now, eh?
