Green Card /Adjustment of Status https://www.visacoach.com/green-card/ Each year US immigration receives about 30,000 spouse visa applications and at the same time receives about 30,000 fiancé visa applications. Sorry, there is no simple "one size fits all" answer. What is best for you and your partner, depends on your specific and individual situation, your goals and your priorities. And that actually is why I offer prospective clients the opportunity to speak with me, early, free of charge, by booking an appointment from link available at VisaCoach.com. Speaking together I can get to know you personally, and can advise what strategy, what path would best work for you. #1. Processing Speed Historically, the fiancée visa had a significant speed advantage. Currently expected for 2023 this advantage has been minimized. Currently USCIS is taking a few months longer to process a fiancé visa, compared to how long they take to process a spouse visa. What this means is that by the time your partner arrives for his or her interview the time difference between one or the other path is pretty slight, currently I expect a spouse visa to take only about three months more than a fiancé visa. And as there are so many factors that speed up or delay a case, this difference in time I believe is not material, and basically a tie for the two different cases. #2 One or Two Immigration Applications A spouse visa is "regular immigration". This means your partner from the start, is applying to come to USA, and remain here permanently. At the same time the visa is granted, permanent residency is granted as well, and the green card is waiting for her or his arrival. A Fiance visa is not regular immigration, instead it is a "non immigrant" visa. This is very similar to a visitor, student, work visa, where the applicant is allowed to remain in the USA only temporarily and eventually is expected to leave. A Fiance Visa allows your partner to visit for up to 90 days. The hope is that within that time you marry. If you do then in order for your new spouse to remain permanently, a second application must be submitted to US immigration. This is called petition to "Adjust Status" from a K1 visa visitor to that of a permanent resident. So a spouse visa requires a single application to obtain permanent residency, a fiance visa requires you to apply twice #3. Total Costs (through to green card) A spouse visa includes approval for permanent residency for your partner. So for a fair comparison to a fiancé visa we should add the cost that is added to a fiancé visa for the adjustment of status process for your fiancé who became your spouse after arrival in the USA to get his or her green card. In practice if you add up all fees for a spouse visa, filing fee, medical fees, green card fee, and Visacoach fees your total cost would be around $3,100 For a Fiancé visa, combined with adjustment of status, the combined fees for filing, medicals and Visacoach would be around $4,500. So the spouse visa will give you about $1,400 in your pocket. #4 Work after Arrival The Spouse visa includes approval for permanent residency. This means your spouse can work immediately upon arrival to the USA. In the case of a fiancé visa the ability to work is only approved around a year after arrival. #5 Travel outside USA The Spouse visa includes approval for permanent residency. This means your spouse can travel in and out of USA immediately after initial spouse visa arrival to the USA. In the case of a fiancé visa your new spouse will not be able to leave the USA for about a whole year after arrival. #6 Eligibility of Children #7 What if a Joint Sponsor is needed? #8 Criminal History #9 When can application be submitted 10 Happy spouse, happy life
