Hello everyone. I need advice, I hope this is the right place for it.

 

I am an American citizen, and my partner is a Russian citizen. We have been together for close to 10 years throughout multiple countries. Right now, we live in Spain and we are legally bound with "Pareja de Hecho", but not married technically. We are considering moving back to the US (California, specifically), but we do not want to be separated for 1.5 years while the papers process. What would be your advice?

 

Thank you.

Get legally married, file an I130, and when that petition nears or reaches the NVC stage, you can start planning on your own plan to re-establish domicile back in the US as the consulate will require that when the interview comes around.  You can stay with your spouse through most of the process in Spain except for maybe a few trips back to get your future domicile in order.  You should also make sure all your US taxes are in order, etc.

 

Good Luck!
