Common Questions
Family Immigration FAQs
How long does family immigration take?
Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens typically take 12-24 months. Other family categories can take several years to over a decade depending on the category and country of birth.
Can I sponsor my fiancé or spouse?
Yes, U.S. citizens can sponsor their fiancé (K-1 visa) or spouse (IR-1/CR-1 visa). Green card holders can only sponsor spouses, not fiancés.
How do I prove my marriage is real?
We help you compile evidence including joint finances, shared residence, photos, communications, and affidavits from people who know you as a couple.
