If you recently got married and want to move your fiancé to the United States and start a new life together, you must go through the correct processes. Immigration paperwork can be challenging, especially if your fiancé must remain in another country while you initiate the process in the United States.
If you are looking to bring your fiancé or spouse to the United States, you may need to fill out Form I-129F Petition for Alien Fiancé. If you are worried about completing this documentation on your own, you can seek legal help with your case. An immigration attorney from New Frontier Immigration Law is ready to help you reunite with your loved one and establish their U.S. residency.
The Form I-129F Petition for Alien Fiancé is a form you submit to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). If approved, this form allows you to do one of two things:
You must be a current U.S. citizen to be permitted to fill out this form, and you and your fiancé must be legally allowed to marry. Further, you must marry within 90 days of your fiancé’s admission to the United States.
Other Considerations When Filing a Form I-129F
Except under a few specific circumstances, you will need to have met your fiancé in person within the last two years. In addition to the form itself, you may also need to provide evidence of a few other components, including:
You will need to fill out the form on behalf of your spouse or fiancé using black ink. The form will ask for:
Suppose you are using an interpreter in the process. In that case, you will also have to include information on the form about your interpreter.
Giving incomplete or untrue information on an I-129F petition is very serious and may cause the USCIS to deny your petition. In addition, the USCIS might not accept the form if certain information is missing, such as your family name or date of birth. Make sure to fill out all the information as honestly and thoroughly as possible. The USCIS will also reject any form that you do not sign.
You also have a narrow window that you must comply with for your fiancé to remain in the United States. Namely, you have 90 days after receiving fiancé status to marry. Suppose you do not marry your fiancé within 90 days—in that case, he or she will be violating immigration law and will need to leave the country.
If you violate this timeframe, it may be difficult for your fiancé to get permanent resident status in the future. Hiring an attorney to help you through this process can ensure you provide all the appropriate information to the USCIS and avoid an expired deadline.
