Getting a Visa for a Spouse

There are a number of options available for you if you should need to get a visa for your spouse. One of the most popular options for getting a visa for a wife or a visa for a husband is the K-3 non-immigrant visa. This visa requires the one spouse that is a citizen to submit an I-130 application form, and once the application is approved, the foreign spouse is required to go through a two part interview. Another popular option is to get a K-2 or K-4 non-immigrant visa. The spouse who is an American citizen files the application and once it is approved the foreign spouse can then apply directly for a green card. A green card is reserved for those individuals who are seeking to live in the U.S. permanently. After obtaining the green card, the individual can then begin going through the process of naturalization to become a full American citizen.

Getting a Visa for Your Wife 

If you are a male U.S. citizen who has married a female foreign citizen, you will need to get a visa for your wife so that she can legally enter and live in the country. This process can be a long and sometimes difficult one. It is best to consult with an immigration attorney before beginning this process so that they can help guide you through the steps. In order to get a visa for your spouse, you will need to fill out an I-130 application form and submit it along with the appropriate documents to the USCIS. After this form is submitted you will need to turn in an I-129F form. You will receive receipts as proof that you have submitted the proper documentation. These applications will then be assessed and either approved or denied. Your attorney can help explain the forms to you in order to make sure you fill them out properly. This process can also be done for women who need a visa for a husband.
