immigration I-130 Spouse Visa?

[clairecorkireland 0]

Hi Everyone,

 

My name is Claire.  I'm from Cork Ireland and I'm getting married to my fiance in 10 weeks in Ireland. 

He is a US Citizen.  We hope and plan to move back to the US together.

Can anyone advise on where we should start?

 

How do I get a Case number from the US Embassy in Dublin?

How do I get an appointment after we have our marriage certificate?

Are we chosing the correct visa type?  I-130?

Will I be able to return to the US with my future husband after we get married?

 

I hope someone can guide us in the right direction.

Thanks

Claire

after you get married, your spouse will file form I-130 and I-130a with supporting evidence and fee, completion will take about 12-14 months from the time he submits the first package.

 

you will not be able to come back with him till your visa is approved. UPDATE: can visit but not immigrate back to stay until visa is completed and attached to passport.

 

here is a link for more information.

You are looking at about 14+ months after filing to enter the US on your cr-1 visa unless he currently lives in Ireland and they have DCF, which I'm not sure of. You can still visit while your application is pending if you are able to now. Check the guide.

Not entirely true.  I think what you meant to say is that she will not be able to immigrate as an LPR until after the visa is approved.  Visiting during the process is just fine with a valid ESTA or visitor visa.

 

TO the OP, check out the guides on the top ribbon of this site and review the I130 guide.

 

Good Luck!

I meant not come back to stay if she has esta or visitor visa she can visit just not stay sorry if my post wasn't entirely understood.

First things first.  Where does your fiance currently reside?  I suggest you look at these guides (https://www.visajourney.com/content/guides/) and choose your situation......Then read, read, study, read.  This is not a fast, friendly, or enjoyable process.  It takes a great deal of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and money.  Good luck, and welcome to the best DIY immigration site on the web.......
