Q: Married a woman from the Philippines 12/27/19. Brought to the US on a fiancé visa and now uncertain what to next? Help!
We've already filed a marriage license and been legally married but in order to give her the ability to work here as I am on disability what should I do next?
A: Consider scheduling a consultation with a competent immigration attorney who can discuss with you the next steps to take. As part of the process involves you submitting on her behalf a Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, which requires demonstration of a certain level of income for you, and because you are on disability, it may be all the more important that you discuss your case with an experienced immigration attorney. General information about the process can also be found on the USCIS website, here: https://www.uscis.gov/greencard/fiancees Good luck to you both.
A: You need to file to adjust her status to get a green card. Discuss with counsel here in Florida.
A: Once you are married, she can then apply for the green card. You can visit the USCIS website for more information, or you can consult with an immigration attorney.
