Hi, I live in Northern Ireland, my fiancé is a U.S. citizen but has never lived there, we are planning on moving to the U.S. at the end of the year. We are getting married in March. Is there any problem with this. I have read different stories in different forums about what we can and can't do. Does the fact that my fiancé has never lived in the u.s mean that they can not sponsor me? If apply for cr1 visa in March when is it likely I will get a visa, will I be able to work when I go over? Thanks for any help

As long as your fiance is moving to the US permanently before or at the same time as you, it's okay. It usually takes around a year from filing of the petition to when you get the immigrant visa, but since your fiance has been living in the UK long term, they may be able to do Direct Consular Filing (DCF) at the London embassy, which is faster. So if the petition is filed after you marry in March, there should be enough time.
This is my personal opinion and is not to be construed as legal advice. -
Thank you very much for the advise, is there any lawyers based in northern or Republic of Ireland who specialise in American immigration?Comment
