Thanks for the replies. I am just a bit nervous it’s a lot to take in. I am going through the guides and forums to get a better understanding of how the process works. I am sure I will have more questions in the near future.

As far as him have immigration issues there are none. He has never been to the USA and he doesn’t have a criminal record.

Thanks…

Hello Everyone

I am new here and I need some advice. I am an American citizen and my fiancé is a Mexican citizen. We are considering a K-1 visa since from what I hear it is faster than a K-3 visa. I have known my fiancé for many years and we started dating in December 08 and became engaged recently. I am currently living in Mexico with my fiancé. The process of a K-1 visa seems pretty straightforward, but the interview process scares me a bit.

Here are a few questions I have:

How difficult is it to get a K-1 visa when your fiancé is from Mexico?

Have we been together long enough to apply?

The only problem we have is when I was in the USA I was a full time student so I didn’t work. I was told I would need a cosponsor, which my mother has agreed to. Does this complicate the process?

Is it necessary given my situation to hire an attorney?

Please help any advice is welcomed.

Thanks..
