Q: I, us citizen in Hawaii, and my spanish partner are tobe married. How soon can she move to us and what do we need todo?
We would like to know what her pathway to residency and work in Hawaii will look like once we are married, and how long the processes will take. I've heard that unique laws exist for this circumstance in HI.
A: If you are a US citizen, then you can sponsor your fiance for a K1 visa and then when she enters Hawaii, you must marry within 90 days, after which she can adjust status to obtain her LPR. A lawyer should be retained to handle the case and said lawyer can be anywhere in the USA. Counsel begins the process by filing a Notice to Appear in the case and will handle it from point A to Z. Some of us charge very affordable flat fees.
