- Q. Immigrate my girlfriend from Manila, Philippines, to Garden Grove, Ca? I know there are 4 or 5 important ones to start.
- A: There are many forms and many documents in the journey to process your fiancé to become legal in America. The best approach is to contact an immigration attorney for a consultation on the phone to go over the process because it can be a little complicated. If you are not working right now, or you do not have the minimum income level necessary to financially sponsor your fiancé, then you will need a joint sponsor. Feel free to reach out to one of us after researching our backgrounds. Some of us charge a very affordable flat fee to process cases like yours from start to finish. Additionally, an immigration lawyer can represent clients anywhere in the United States and throughout the world.

Take these pictures at roughly the same time of day or night that you fell. Finally, you should reach out ... Read More
