I wish to marry an American citizen; where should we start?We encourage you to start by discussing your situation and options wih a reliable, experienced immigration attorney. Regardless of your current visa status, there are many ways in which the application process can go wrong, especially if you try to do it without an attorney’s help. The process might appear simple. But even if you make even one small mistake, you and your loved one can face serious consequences. A seemingly insignificant fact that you might write down (or leave out) about your travel history, or one comment that you might make during the interview – even when it is truthful and sounds natural – might unnecessarily send you down the path to getting denied. And please do not ever lie to the authorities (see our article on why marriage fraud is a very, very bad idea). When your application is denied, US immigration does not return your filing fee to you, which can run more than $1,300. On top of that, you will most likely face one or more years of separation from your loved one, additional fees, and a lot of hassle. With his 15 years of experience in successfully leading couples and families through the entire process, Attorney Wright will help you fill out all of the paperwork correctly, and he will even accompany you and your loved one to the immigration agency interview. Our goal is to help you through the entire process from beginning to end – so you can get together, stay together, and start your happy life together as soon as possible. Please call us today. |
