Marriage

[Ac624 0]

Hi i have indefinite asylum in the usa and came here in 1991. But i dont have a greencard or citizenship because i just filled out the applications. But i did graduate college here and my brother has citizenship and greencard. Also my sister was born here and shes 21 now. The issue i have is that i met a girl from montenegro and i want to marry her but shes over there. Whats the fastest and easiest process to start with? I was born in montenegro former yugoslavia. Thank you

What's your end game? Both live and work in the US? Or does she want to return to her/your home country?

Good luck

Well i already work in the US. We both want to live here and as far as her i dont think shes going to work unless she has to

Quickest would be to go home.

Wondering how you met, did she come here on a tourist visa?

My understanding is said girlfriend is not in the US.

OP you would need to get your GC first (become a permanent resident), marry your girlfriend (you can do this now), and file under visa category F2B. The wait is approximately 1.5 years before the visa is available based on the most recent visa bulletin.

There is no fiancée petition available for permanent resident, this is only available for US citizen.

Unless I'm missing something OP, how come you never filed for your permanent resident earlier. If you had, you would have been a US citizen by now.

I just never thought i would go back. I met her through my parents who are over there now using there travel document. What if i did take out travel document and go home to see her? Is there another way i can bring her here if we got married in montenegro?

Or is there quicker way to get greencard because my brother has one and both sister and brother are citizens? I appreciate all the responses and help

My parents are there now with her and her parents so were trying to figure out what to do

First you need a green card. Start on that today.

Then you need to marry the girl. Then you follow the guides to bring the spouse of an LPR to the U.S. Expect all this to take more than two years.

There is no quick way to legally bring her.

Thank you belinda, i heard i can get a green card quicker through my siblings because two of them have citizenship. Is that true?

[Boiler 45,657]

About 14 years could be longer so I guess it depends what your other option is.

14??

Give or take.

You said your Sister is 21 so she can file.
