San Antonio, TX asked in Immigration Law for Texas

Q: my fiance is from the Philippines but lives 25 years already in Japan. She got her travel Visa 2 times denied

the american embassy denied 2 times her visa, to visit me in the US. I even wrote a invite letter, but they not even looked at it. Only thing they ask her, what is your purpose to fly to the US. What can we do, that she can come to visit me for 2 weeks. PS. She has 2 Javanese kids 24 and 16. And a steady job in Japan (6 years) and has no intent to stay for good in the US. Please advice

A: The embassy probably thinks she’s at high risk of not returning due to her personal and financial situation. Would marriage to you , a US citizen, solve this problem?Probably yes if you can convince the consulate that she married for love. If that is the ultimate goal then retain counsel here in the US to facilitate that process.
