Petitioning for my soon to be husband. Advice wanted

[Art_Bear 0]

I am going to petition for my fiance but I am doing it once we are married since I was already advised that the I-129 would not work in my case. My fiance and I have been together almost 5 years, 4 of which we lived together. I meet him in the states and he was illegal. He got caught by immigration and obtained an order for deportation. He did voluntary departure. I lived out in Mexico a full 9 months. We really want to start our lives as husband and wife in the states. but I am unsure of how to go about it. He needs a waiver I know that for sure but should I file the I-130 first and then the waiver or vice-versa? I am a US citizen. I would appreciate any advice given to me. it be very much appreciated and welcomed.

You will need to file the I-130 first as there needs to be a petition for the waiver to be included with. Submit the I-130 and then the waiver when the time comes. The waiver has certain requirements of its own. You may want to research them.

Best of Luck in your journey.

you need to have not just a petition in place, but it must be approved.

Note the requirements of the waiver so you dnt make mistakes especially when to travel bevause if he leaves at the wrong time, he may not be allowed into the U.S.

I would wander over to the waivers forum and also go to http://immigrate2us.net/forum/content.php

they specialize in waivers so you can prepare and be ready. Waiver will need to be done after interview is denied.

Make sure you send all your requirements it will cause delay if you have missing documents.
