We are a highly experienced and knowledgeable in Marriage Visa paperwork.

We work exclusively with U.S. clients.

What Is a "Spouse"?

A spouse is a legally wedded husband or wife.

• Merely living together does not qualify a marriage for immigration.

• Common-law spouses may qualify as spouses for immigration purposes depending on the laws of thecountry where the common-law marriage occurs.

• In cases of polygamy, only the first spouse may qualify as a spouse for immigration.

• Same-sex marriages are not recognized by immigration law for the purpose of immigrating to the U.S.

What are the requirements for a CR-1 or IR-1 Visa?

To obtain either visa, you must meet the following requirements:

• You must be legally married. Living together does not qualify as a marriage for immigration purposes. Unmarried partners are ineligible to sponsor visas to the United States. U.S. law does not allow polygamy. If you were married before, you and your spouse must both show that you ended (terminated) all previous marriages before your current marriage. The death and divorce documents that show termination of marriages must be legal and verifiable in the country that issued them. Divorces must be final. In cases of legal marriage to two or more spouses at the same time, or marriages overlapping for a period of time, you can file only for your first spouse.

• You must be 18 years old before you can sign the Affidavit of Support, which is a form that will be required later in the process.

• The spouse in the U.S. is the Petitioner and the spouse in the foreign country is the Beneficiary.

• What is the U.S. Domicile Requirement for Petitioners Living Outside the U.S.

 

Vaccination Requirements

United States immigration law requires immigrant visa applicants to obtain certain vaccinations prior to the issuance of an immigrant visa. Panel physicians who conduct medical examinations of immigrant visa applicants are required to verify that immigrant visa applicants have met the vaccination requirements.

 

What is the difference between a CR-1 Visa and a IR-1 Visa?

The CR-1 visa is for a spouse of a U.S. citizen, whose marriage is less than 2 years.

The IR-1 visa is for a spouse of a U.S. citizen, whose marriage is 2 year or more in duration.

 

 

 

The First Step toward an Immigrant Visa: Filing the Petition

The first step to get a Spousal Visa for your spouse is to sign-up for our service. The sooner we get started, the sooner your spouse will be here in the U.S. with you.

U.S. Sponsor Minimum Age Requirement

There is no minimum age for a U.S. sponsor (petitioner) to file a petition for a family based immigrant visa. However, you must be at least 18 years of age and have a residence and domiciled or residing in the United States before you can sign the Affidavit of Support. This form is required for immigrant visas for spouses and other relatives of U.S. sponsors.

Is Residence in the U.S. Required for the U.S. Sponsor?

Yes. As a U.S. sponsor/petitioner, you must maintain your principal residence (also called domicile) in the U.S., which is where you plan to live for the foreseeable future. Living in the U.S. is required for a U.S. sponsor to file the Affidavit of Support.

Important Notice: If you are now a U.S. citizen, you must file separate immigrant visa petitions for each of your children. A child doesnot receive derivative status in an immediate relative (IR) petition. This is different from the K-1 fiancee visa where a child is included in his/her parent's petition. A child is not included as a derivative in his/her parent's IR-1 or CR-1 petition.

Children born abroad after you became a U.S. citizen may qualify for U.S. citizenship. They should apply for U.S. passports. The consular officer will determine whether your child is a U.S. citizen and can have a passport. If the consular officer determines your child is not U.S. citizen, the child must apply for an immigrant visa if he/she wants to live in the U.S.

How long does it take to get a CR-1 or IR-1 visa?

The "average time" right now is approximately 6 months to get a IR-1 visa or a CR-1 spouse visa approved from the filing date. If an investigation is required and if the applicant does not satisfy all application requirements, visa issuance may take longer. A U.S. citizen should not arrange to take the Filipino spouse back to the United States immediately following the marriage. No travel arrangements should be finalized until a visa has been issued.

Because of the time involved in processing the application for an immigrant visa, it is recommended that the petitioner and beneficiary gather the required documentation to submit with the visa application at the earliest possible time.

Do it Yourself?

If you were to just go by the directions on the U.S. Government web site for the Fiancee or marriage visa, you may have your application for a visa rejected and you must start all over again. There are certain requirements you that must adhere to, things that you must know about that you are not advised about on the these Government web sites. You are not just allowed to make the corrections, as the process has to be started from the beginning again with another payment of the filing fee and that also means more delays. Avoid costly mistakes and subsequent delays with the USCIS. Let's do it right the first time!
