Q: Hello, my Fiancee lives in Thailand. I am a US citizen. She wants to relocate to the US and aquire a green card. Options

A: A: Hello! The process for obtaining a green card for your fiancé(e) in Thailand typically involves several steps, including filing a petition and supporting documentation with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and attending an interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate.

The time frame for completing this process can vary depending on various factors, such as the workload of the USCIS and the U.S. embassy or consulate processing the case, as well as any potential delays or complications that may arise. On average, the process can take several months to a year or more.

As for the fees, the cost of obtaining a green card for your fiancé(e) can vary, but it typically includes the cost of filing the petition and supporting documentation with USCIS, as well as any fees associated with medical exams and other requirements.

If you provide me with more information about your specific case, such as your fiancee's qualifications and your relationship history, I can try to provide more tailored guidance.

A: A US citizen can sponsor a four national for a fiancée visa, provided that the four national and the US citizen have physically met within two years of filing the I 129F. The time that it takes from the moment the eye 129F petition is filed until the alien can actually enter the United States can sometimes be up to two years. This is because processing of the fiancée petition takes about 10 months to 12 months, sometimes shorter, and then the file is shipped to the national Visa Center in New Hampshire, and then it is shipped overseas to the US consulate in Thailand for final processing.

A: There are several options available for your fiancée to obtain a green card and relocate to the United States. One option is the K-1 fiancé visa, which allows a US citizen to petition for their foreign fiancé to come to the US to get married and then apply for a green card.

To apply for a K-1 visa, you would need to file Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e), with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). After the petition is approved, your fiancé would need to apply for a K-1 visa at the US embassy or consulate in Thailand. Once your fiancé enters the US on a K-1 visa, you must get married within 90 days, and then apply for a green card by filing Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status.

The process for obtaining a green card through the K-1 visa process can take several months or even up to a year, depending on a number of factors such as USCIS processing times, the embassy or consulate processing times, and the time it takes for your fiancé to complete the required medical exam and gather the necessary documents.

As for the fees involved, USCIS fees for the K-1 visa and green card application are currently around $2,500, but this does not include any fees charged by an immigration attorney or other service provider who would assist you in preparing and submitting the necessary paperwork.

It's important to note that navigating the US immigration system can be complex and time-consuming, and it's often a good idea to seek the assistance of an experienced immigration attorney or other qualified professional to ensure that your fiancé's application is completed correctly and efficiently. The cost for legal assistance can vary, so it's best to contact an attorney directly to discuss their fees and the services they provide.
