Humberto, thank you, you are one of 3 lawyers I watched to file all my paperwork to bring my wife and her 11 year old. I can say I messed up 2 times and they always took 60 days to review my messed up paperwork. Then my wife from Colombia got approved and she had interview in bogota. She took the original book I sent to uscis and she passed but they told her our marriage certificate was out of date so another 60 days to get approved 🤦🏼 but a good sign is they took her passport and the kids at interview so she sent that certificate by DHL that they said and 60 days later they sent the package with passport approved 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 me and my wife got married in medellin colombia
@@AnabellFereira we went to the notaria and got a certified copy of our marriage certificate in medellin when we first started the process in early 2020. When we got approved and she had the interview in bogota my wife took all the paperwork that we had used in 2020 , the officer doing the interview said that the marriage certificate had to be recent, so she didn't get denied but they gave her time to go get that certificate again and send it in through DHL in medellin. She did that asap and again we waited 60 days for the approval and a month later she got her visas
@Nessa1800 hi, no , I started the petition in march 2020 and after all the waiting and the different processes and after the interview she finally got the visa in medellin by DHL in January 2022 . As of now . She's here in Texas with me and she just received in the mail her residence card last week and now we're working on getting her social security card . The SS office are asking for a form to be filled and visa paperwork as well as resident card faxed to them in order to give her an appointment date .

Wait, you need to get married overseas and have the marriage certificate for k1 visa??? I thought marriage certificate from the other (not USA) country is not required for k1 visa.
K-3 visa not K-1
Can my spouse who resides in their home country to the US by any means? I understand that there is a I-130 and K3, but while those are being worked on, can I bring them over to the states?
@kam, you can try a visitors visa, but be honest with the Consulate.
Is it possible to get a green card if you don’t have any family members in the US because i’m a Canadian citizen and i want to become American and join the us military
@emperor, yes. see my many videos on employment based category to get green cards.
Hello. My husband is American and he is currently living/working in Italy but he's going back to the States soon. I'm Brazilian and I would like to know if I can have my interview in England, as a tourist, or only in my residence country. Thank you.
If you have business there or are a resident of the UK can you have your interview there.
@@GrayLawTV I don't have either. I'm in London only for tourism, 6 months visa. And my husband just requested to expedite my process (he's military).
I am marrying a person from Colombia. Do you recommend me to marry in Colombia and bring him as husband or bring him as a fiancé and then marry him here? For how long do you need to know the person or be marry to them in order to do it?
@henry, you must have met in person over the past two years and you have many options....k-1 then marry here in the US after 90 days or marry and file i 130 and k-3....see my videos on the subject!!!
Hi Sir, good evening I married my lady in Europe and this exactly a 1 year, and yet they didn't approve it yet. Please Sir can you tell me what to do? Thanks

Hello GaryLaw, I'm a USC and my fiance lives in Afghanistan, where the US embassy and consulate have suspended their operations. How do I bring her to the US? Do you suggest I apply for a fiance or spousal visa? I will visit next month and would like to get all my needed papers ready while there. Please advise 🙏🏼
@ferough, yes file either visa and nvc will direct the case to where a US Consulate is operating for Afghanistan nationals.
@@GrayLawTV thank you so much 🙏🏼

Does the processing time vary if its a permanent resident filing for the spousal visa and not a US citizen?
Yes...there is no waiting period for US Citizen applying for immediate relatives.

I’m American my wife from Tanzania , we got married there and got our marriage certificate. This won’t work??
How did things turn out for you two? I’m also American and met my girlfriend while traveling this summer ( she’s from Tanzania also ) trying to decide if 90 day fiancé visa or marriage visa is better for us
Is it true that if my spouse gets a K-3 visa approved, it is considered a non-immigrant visa and she therefore does not need a Covid vaccine to come to the United States and reside there permanently?
@adriano, great question! K-3 visa holders do not need vaccinations: travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/nonimmigrant-visa-for-a-spouse-k-3.html#7

Hi Humberto, I am a U.S citizen and will be marrying a citizen of Colombia in February. We plan to marry overseas. Other than the state document that I bring back to the U.S., I should wait to file everything once I return correct? And according to this video, ask my attorney to file both K3 and I-130 at the same time?
Andre, you need not wait to get back! you can file in the US while there...you just send it by mail! Yes you file both at the same time and see what comes first!
Did you get her in?
Hello, my husband is US citizen. Our baby born last year and she also got her citizenship. I have filed 130 form since 1 n half years ago. How long will it take me to go there?

Nothing to speed up the process. It will take a year to a year and a half if everything goes smoothly.
