How do I renew my visa if I am already in the U.S.?
If you are already in the United States and have a valid visa in Pennsylvania, you can renew your visa by filing Form I-90 in order to apply for a renewal. In order to apply for an extension of stay in the United States, you must apply no more than six months before the expiration of your visa. In order to sustain your visa, you must be able to prove that the marriage is not fraudulent. This could include evidence showing communication, photos, proof of financial support, letters from family and friends, or other documents that show the validity of the marriage. You will need to include evidence of your marriage with Form I-90 when you apply for renewal. This could include your marriage certificate, proof that you are still married, such as joint taxes or joint bank accounts, or any other evidence that shows the validity of the marriage. In addition, any information showing family ties between the two of you, such as birth certificates of any children, shared property titles, or other documents demonstrating shared financial responsibility will be helpful. If your visa is not renewed or extended, you may be subject to removal from the United States. In order to avoid this, it is very important to complete all steps to properly renew your visa on time.

Si tiene una visa temporal, y tiene la intención de casarse con un ciudadano estadounidense, entonces esa es la mejor opción para renovar su visa. Para comenzar, usted y su pareja deben presentar una petición conjunta al Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de Estados Unidos (USCIS). La solicitud debe incluir información personal, así como pruebas de la relación. Esto incluye registros de bautismo, facturas de facturas y tarjetas de regalo, cartas postales o correos electrónicos, fotos de bodas, declaraciones bajo juramento, testimonios, documentos médicos, etc. Una vez que se ha presentado la solicitud y se han recopilado todos los documentos necesarios, el USCIS puede emitir una visa de no inmigrante K-3 o K-4 que le permitirá permanecer en los Estados Unidos mientras que su caso se procesa. Esto debe llevarse a cabo antes de que expire su visa original. Si la visa se vence antes de que el USCIS procese su caso, su caso se negará. Una vez que el USCIS haya aprobado la solicitud de matrimonio, deberá presentar una solicitud de cambio de estatus para obtener la residencia permanente. Si el USCIS aprueba la solicitud, se le emitirá una tarjeta de residencia permanente. Esta le permitirá a usted y a su cónyuge residir y trabajar legalmente en los Estados Unidos.
