How do I apply for an immigrant visa for a fiancé(e)?

In California, if you wish to obtain an immigrant visa for your fiancé(e), you must file Form I-129F, the Petition for Alien Fiancé(e). This form must be filed with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office in California. You must also provide the USCIS with evidence that you meet the requirements for an immigrant visa. The first requirement is that you, the petitioner, must be a U.S. citizen. You must also provide evidence that you have met your fiancé(e) in person at least once within the two-year period before filing this form. If you have not met in person, you must explain why not and provide evidence as to why this was not possible. You must also provide evidence that you have a valid relationship. You can do this by providing documents like photos, letters, and other items that demonstrate your relationship. You must also provide evidence that your fiancé(e) is admissible to the United States. This can include evidence of identity, criminal records, health history, and other documents. You must also demonstrate that your fiancé(e) has not overstayed their visa in the past and has not engaged in any activity that may make them inadmissible. Once you have filed the form, provided the necessary evidence, and paid the necessary fees, USCIS will review your application and decide if your fiancé(e) is eligible for an immigrant visa. The USCIS will then contact you with their decision and provide you with instructions on how to proceed.

Para solicitar una visa de inmigrante para una prometida (o), primero es necesario que tanto tú como tu prometido (a) cumplan con los requisitos de inmigración de California. El aspirante debe ser un extranjero legítimo y el peticionario debe ser un ciudadano estadounidense. En primer lugar, cualquier ciudadano estadounidense que desee presentar una solicitud de visa de inmigrante debe presentar la Solicitud de Petición de Alienado, Formulario I-129f, ante el Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de los Estados Unidos (USCIS). La forma I-129F se puede descargar desde el sitio web del USCIS. Después de que el USCIS apruebe la forma I-129F, el extranjero debe iniciar el proceso de solicitud de visa de inmigrante mediante la presentación de la Solicitud de Visa de Inmigrante y el Formulario DS-160, también conocido como el "Formulario de Solicitud de Visa de Inmigrante". Estos formularios se pueden descargar desde el sitio web de la Embajada/Consulado de los Estados Unidos en el extranjero. Por último, el extranjero debe presentar una cita con la Embajada/Consulado de los Estados Unidos para realizar una entrevista. Durante la entrevista, el extranjero debe proporcionar información general sobre su relación con el ciudadano estadounidense, así como pruebas adicionales de la relación como cartas, fotos, y/o documentos legales. Una vez que el extranjero haya pasado la entrevista y cumpla con los demás requisitos de solicitud, la visa de inmigrante será emitida.
