Conway, SC asked in Immigration Law for South Carolina

Q: I met someone a few months ago from Mexico. How can I bring them to the US if we decided to marry?

I met them on Facebook through mutual friends. We really clicked. And when I visit my family in December we plan to marry. They are from the same city as all my family and one of my cousins friend. But we are concerned about how they can come back to the US. I know it's possible but I want to know about the process and how long it will be.

A: You are going to be having a hard time to that because meeting someone online and bringing them here is not easy. Because if you intend to apply for an fiance visa you will need to show proof that you have been with the other person for a considerable amount of time to get to know them. I suggest you consult with an immigration attorney in private to help you with this process. It is not impossible but it is hard. All the best.
