Below is a short youtube video that describes how to get your Fiancee Visa
-
A fiancee is a person who is engaged or contracted to be married. The marriage must be legally possible
according to laws of the state in the United States where the marriage will take place.
In general, the two people must have met in person within the past two years. The Department of Homeland
Security's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) grants some exceptions to this requirement.
For example, it may be contrary in some traditions for a man and woman to meet before marriage.
Sometimes the USCIS considers a person a fiancee even though a marriage contract has been concluded.
In such cases, the American citizen petitioner and his/her spouse have not met, and they have not consummated
the marriage.
If you are an American citizen and you want your foreign fiancee to travel to the United States to marry
you and live in the U.S., you must file Petition for Alien fiancee in the United States.
Expert Tip # 4
Attach to the I-129F a typed letter describing in full detail the nature of your relationship with your Fiancee. Describe where and when you met, the situation, what happened, how the relationship developed, what are your plans when she arrives for the 90 days, what are your wedding arrangements, what are your long term plans for your future life together. A sample “Nature of Relationship” letter is shown at Fiancee Visa Secrets eBook. The more detail you provide the better. Couples planning a life together have long conversations and make detailed plans. Share these plans in your letter. This serves to confirm the sincerity of the relationship.
