- Q. Need clarification for the quickest way to get my fiancé here in the states after we get married in April.
- A: Right now if you are not married, you can file for a fiancé visa, which would probably take a little bit less time than a spousal visa. You could also wait until April and get married and then apply for a spousal visa but, as stated, the fiancé visa is taking slightly less time.

- Q. Can a person with severe gout request for expedite for a fiance visa because it’s getting worst now ?

- Q. Came in US illegal, detained CBP and seek asylum as gay men but now in love with a women who is a citizen and marry.
- A: So an immigrant who has been inspected to at the border and filed a proper timely asylum claim can marry a US citizen and be sponsored for a marriage base green card case. However, because you have indicated that your ground of Asylum is based upon the fact that you are gay man and your country will persecute you if you return -BUT you are now going to marry a lady, this may conflict with the intention that may raise red flags for both cases. You should proceed to hire an immigration attorney to process and handle the marriage base green card case for you. Some of us charge a very affordable flat fee to represent the couple from start to finish.
