Marriage and Fiancé Visas

San Francisco Visas for Fiancés and Through Marriage

We assist with applying for a visa for an overseas fiancé, and with overcoming immigration barriers that could interfere with your ability to marry a foreign national in the United States. For assistance contact an experienced California immigration attorney at Wiley & Jobson in downtown San Francisco.

Our immigration law practice provides legal services to individuals who are petitioning for their spouses or fiancés. Family unity is the cornerstone of U.S. immigration law, and we keep families together. We also excel in taking on complex cases that involve negative immigration or criminal histories. We have extensive experience with applications through marriage and K-visas for non-American fiancés who live in other countries. The K-visa allows your fiancé entry into the United States, but it normally leads to permanent resident status and eventual American citizenship.

If you retain us early in the marriage visa process, we can advise you about how to complete the applications properly and help ensure that your information is accurate and legally adequate. We monitor the progress of your application and let you know what processing times are normal, and when a delay indicates a problem that we can help resolve. If you are in the middle of the process, we can assist with immigration procedures and administrative complications that can delay or frustrate your case.

If any problems develop concerning the issuance of your fiancé's visa for entry into the United States or your residence application through marriage, such as a criminal record, health problem, or a prior negative immigration history such as overstaying a tourist, student or work visa, we can prepare a waiver as necessary.

Our immigration lawyers can also advise you about the two-year conditional green card often issued to foreign national fiancés or spouses. We can help you file an I-751 joint petition, or a waiver of the two-year condition in the event of a divorce or other complication. Additionally, we also handle motions to reopen cases involving denial of marriage visas, and appeals of unfavorable fiancé or visa application rulings.

At Wiley & Jobson, our firm has helped thousands of immigrants legalize their status through marriage and family. For additional information about our ability to help you at every stage of the fiancé and marriage visa process, contact one of our immigration attorneys in San Francisco.
