Art2ro Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) Here's one paragraph below that can partially start to answer your questions about visas.I was told by a travel agent that immigrant visas are hard to get, and my wife should go into the United States with only a tourist visa... Unfortunately, there are people who, usually for a tidy sum of money, will offer inaccurate or bad advice. Such advice can waste time and distract one from the necessary paperwork. At worst, it can lead to fraudulent statements that can see one’s new spouse found ineligible for any visa to travel to the United States. It is always the type of travel -- a short visit or a new life living and working in America -- which governs what visa is appropriate. Immigrant visas do require more time and preparation than a simple tourist visa, but in the end will allow an American citizen and his/her spouse to begin their new life in the United States without the worry and hardships that fraud can place on their relationship. If they begin early, and follow the instructions carefully, his/her new spouse can begin life in the United States with legal permanent resident status that will allow him/her to live, work or study as desired. LPR status is also the first step toward naturalization, the process by which a foreign person becomes an American Citizen.However, under the new LIFE Act, there are now some instances where spouses and children are eligible for a special nonimmigrant visa while waiting for their immigrant visa. For information on the new K and V visas, and to find out whether one qualifies for them, please see the Immigrant Visa Section.Other FAQs at this link: http://manila.usemba...v/wwwhniv5.html My only advice, do it on your own if you're confident to do so or hire a good reputable Immigration Attorney, if you can afford it. Link below is one reputable and famous Immigration Attorney. They have an office in Manila.http://www.gurfinkel.com/contact.htm Edited May 2, 2011 by Art2ro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
