Fiance Visa questions
Posted Wed, 03/09/2011 - 18:12 by kmavila
Hello,
My fiancé is originally from Mexico, but when he was 3 he was brought to the states illegally by his father. He has no home in Mexico and has lived in the states his whole life. His family had never tried to get his citizenship for various reasons. He has his high school diploma from the states. He's 25 now and we have been together for 3 years and would like to get married. I would like to petition for a fiancé visa, but Im not sure what to put in for his address or really how to go about this at all. I'm afraid to give information in fear that he will get deported, and he would not have anywhere to go. I just need a little bit of advice on this.
Thank you.

Immediate Relative Cases and Unlawful Presence
Thank you for posting this question. These are very tough cases and ones I wish the legislature would address because it really isn't fair. Unfortunately, because your fiance enter the U.S. illegally and remained in the U.S. for several years after he turned 18 he can't adjust his status and would have to return to Mexico to apply for a visa. However, because of his unlawful presence he would have to apply for a waiver of the 10 year bar. I think he would have a good chance of getting the waiver but it would mean he would have to go live in a totally foreign country for a year or more and wait for the visa. There just isn't any easy solution for him I am afraid.
