I just got married to my now husband that is currently in jail and looking at a longer time in prison. I live in Switzerland and would now like to start working on the visa process to be able to move to the US to be closer to him. His family is very supportive of everything and are willing to be my sponsors. I’m a bit lost to what the next step is and what kind of visa I need to apply for. Is there anything I need to look out for or anything that might not work due to my husbands charges? Does anyone know more and could help guide me through this a little?

I appreciate your help and time :)

Your Husband would have to petition you, his family could be the Joint Sponsor.

 

As far as the conviction impacting the situation, it would depend what it is,

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Here is the guide for a spousal visa.  You can help with getting the petition (I130) started, but it is the USC spouse that has to file it.

 

Good Luck!

Start with the Guide, then study the I-130 and it's excellent separate instructions.  Unless there's a sex crime against a child, the criminal record is not really relevant.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...
Understanding the big picture is priceless. Anonymous
