Q: I am a permanent resident, I have my fiancee aborad and want her to join me here legally as soon as possible.
Would her coming in as a student then we get married after 90 days the best option as filling for through the normal process is about 2years and we can't wait that long to be together
A:
She is disqualified for a non-immigrant F1 student visa, where she has immigrant intent for the purposes of the visit. Such action can suggest misrepresentation, which can indefinitely bar her from lawful immigration.
I strongly recommend an appointment or teleconference with a competent and experienced immigration attorney before there are any other complications.
The above is general information, not legal advice
A: Retain counsel to process the case from start to finish so that it can be done properly.
