Q: I’m a green card holder and I have a Fiance living in Colombian can I get her a Fiance vida before we get marry ?
A:
As a U.S. resident you are not eligible to file the FORM I-129F to request the K-1 visa on behalf of your fiancée. You must first become a U.S. citizen to file such petition.
If you marry your fiancée in Colombia you can file the FORM I-130 (relative petition) with USCIS to begin the process that can result in the issuance of an immigrant visa at the U.S. consulate.
Good luck to you.
A:
You would have to file for your citizenship first.
You can file for your spouse as a green card holder.
A: No. Only US citizens can sponsor their fiancé for a k visa. Marry her overseas and have her process at the US consulate for her green card. Consider working with an attorney to represent you throughout the lifetime of the case. It’s a year long process with a lot of twists and turns. Good luck.
