Girlfriend

[Ayman Naser 1]

I have an interview set and I want to marry my girlfriend so she come with me. How can we do this?

Interview for what? 

 

If you want to get married, you need to look into what the requirements are where you live and follow them.

Interview to have a permanent resident in America. 7 years ago my mother petitioned for me. I wasn't married then. I met someone and was wondering if there is a way to include her in my interview. Would it delay my interview process if I marry her?

hi

 

nope you can't do that, you were petitioned as unmarried, you must remain unmarried, once you enter the US, you can return to your country and marry your girlfriend. you then will file a new petition, and the wait will be over 2 years

 

DO NOT marry your girlfriend before you enter the US, you MUST enter the country as unmarried

Spoiler

 

 

 

You haven't said if your mother is a US Citzen or a Legal permanent resident

 

if she is a resident, you can't marry, if your mom was a Citizen, theoretically you could marry, but you would change your category to F3, with a wait of 13 years, so you would need to cancel the interview, change category and wait for about 6 more years or so

My mother wasn't a citizen. I read something online on the NVC website that you can submit a form and include her and she will have an interview few months after that.

Incorrect. If your mother is a green card holder then you can only immigrate as a single person. If she is a USC you can immigrate as a married person but your wait will be much longer.

FB-2 must remain unmarried until entering on the immigrant visa.

You can marry afterwards fine, but you would need to wait ~2-2.5 years for your then-wife to join you in the US.

No idea what you read, but FB-2 does not permit spousal derivatives as the category itself requires being unmarried.

I was going to be cynical and say go ahead and do it but I have your best interest at heart. Do do under any circumstance try to marry your gf with the intention of taking her to the interview. You'll end up having the shock of your life when you are denied a visa. The system doesn't work like that so don't mess up your American dream. Lol. 

Your best bet is first get your green card, then marry and petition for her. Your other best bet is just marry and stay put where u currently are and enjoy the marriage.

All the best.
