If you and your partner are engaged, but apart because they are citizens of another country, you may be interested in learning about your options for helping them gain citizenship in the United States. Casais & Prias can help you to acquire a fiance visa in Miami.
LGBTQA+ fiance visas are one of the more popular options that same-sex couples will try when beginning the immigration process. Essentially, applying for an LGBTQA+ fiance visa in Miami proves that you and your partner are planning to marry within 90 days from the time you both reside in the United States. Once you have been officially married and received the proper licenses, your partner will be granted U.S. permanent residency.
This process is quite complicated, and it takes time to work through all of the applications and waiting periods. It is a battle that is best left to the skill of an immigration law firm, which is where Casais & Prias comes in. Our managing partner, Rolando Casais, Jr. sits on the Board of Directors of the Board of Directors for the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and is also on their budget and LGBTQ committees. When you partner with our firm, you get the experience and skill of a dedicated team of attorneys working hard on your case.
Start With A Virtual Consultation
Whether you can meet in person or online, our attorneys at Casais & Prias will be able to serve your case best after an initial consultation. During this time, you will be asked a variety of questions regarding your case, and you should arrive prepared with any documentation that may assist in the filing process.
To apply for a fiance visa in Miami, some questions that you should prepare answers for include:
- How long have you been a couple?
- Do you intend to marry within 90 days after your partner has been allowed entry into the United States?
- Are you prepared to answer questions about your relationship when granted an interview?
- What evidence are you prepared to show that proves the validity of your relationship? (photos, documents, etc.)
These are but a few of the more pertinent questions that will be asked during the initial consultation and will give our attorneys more information to work your case.
Apply For Your Fiance Visa in Miami
If the attorney believes an LGBTQA+ fiance visa is the best option for you and your partner, your next step will be to fill out the fiance petition. This form is the first real step toward helping your partner to receive lawful permanent residency in the United States.
Most immigration and visa applications can be quite complicated and overwhelming. With the help of an attorney, you will be able to quickly and effectively move through the application.
After the application has been submitted, there will likely be a waiting period in which the application and petition are reviewed. During this time, our firm will work to keep you updated every step of the way, as you and your partner await any news.
