    Never use a ‘consultant’. Only a proper lawyer, you can find one on AILA. https://www.ailalawyer.com But their fees will depend on the type of application and any complications you have. I can tell you what our lawyer charged and recommend them but if yours isn’t the same kind of application that won’t be much use to you. So what kind of visa would you be applying for, or what issue do you need help with? How many people?

    Not by the applicant though, most do just throw money at it and an agency does all the legwork.

    You don't have to be together for the marriage, but you do have to 'consummate' it (which just means being physically together) before filing. So you can get married online, then meet up, then file.

    Ah. So a 10 year ban unfortunately. Is this his first time in the US, he's never entered illegally previously? He should really leave asap and get the I-130 filed so the clock starts ticking, and his wife can then apply for a waiver of the ban to get him back sooner than 10 years. Hopefully by the time the PD is current and the waiver is granted, the country ban will have been lifted or amended too.

    I suspect that might change now, seems even people with common health conditions like diabetes may be under extra scrutiny and risk denial.

    Of course. Every single applicant is subject to the public charge rules, and it’s about to get tougher under the current administration. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/11/19/2025-20278/public-charge-ground-of-inadmissibility It’s all here, just scroll up. 👆🏻

    It will mean their wait is less overall as there won’t be a wait for their PD to become current on the Visa Bulletin. But if they entered the US without inspection there is no way for them to stay regardless of their spouse’s status. They must have a status to start with to be able to adjust from it and get a green card. They must leave asap - they don’t want to mess around with the current administration. How long have they been in the US for? And when can the spouse apply to naturalise?

    Ah, ok. Then it makes no difference any longer, spouse or fiancee, neither can get a visa. But if they entered the US illegally and are married to a LPR rather than citizen, it's going to be many years before they can get a visa anyway. So I wouldn't worry about the country ban for now, I'd focus on getting them out of the US asap so any overstay ban doesn't get longer, and getting the I-130 filed asap when eligible to secure their place in line. Then hopefully by the time they are at the head of the line to get the visa, the country ban will be lifted or amended anyway.
  25. appleblossom
    I think the traffic tickets should be fine, but that is just a guess. Yes, the I-130 will still be processed as that isn't a visa application. Your case will proceed all the way to the point of visa issuance (interview at consulate), that's when it would be held. As she's already got a visa, she's still able to travel to the US. Just be aware that she may be scrutinised more heavily upon entry. Good luck.

    Should be no issue for you travelling as a GC holder, as long as you don't have any issues that might jeopardise that status (convictions, no tax filings, too much time out of the country, etc). But is your wife also from Nigeria? If so, she can't get a visa for now, it may change again by the time you come to apply but keep an eye on it. Good luck.

    What's your visa status in the US? Which country? And how long have you been out of the US? Please complete your timeline, thanks.
  29. appleblossom
    Yes. But is this the F3 you were asking about previously? If so the ban isn't likely to be relevant by the time a visa is available to them anyway.

    I thought it had to be valid at time of adjudication too, and it had expired by that point. But if the RFE has definitely been cancelled (I think I’d be inclined to call and ask to speak to a Tier 2 agent to confirm that) then it’s just a case of waiting. Good luck.
  32. appleblossom
    When was it done and was it done for your current application? If the RFE has definitely been cancelled then hopefully you'll hear soon, good luck.
