Spouse visas: To apply for an immigrant visa for a spouse of a U.S. citizen (Form IR1 or CR1), you need:

• An immigrant petition for an alien relative (Form I-130)
• A nonimmigrant visa for spouse (Form K-3)

The K-3 must be filed, and the visa issued, in the country where the marriage was performed.

Family based immigration law states that once that visa is issued, the spouse may stay in his or her own country to await processing of the immigrant visa case. The more popular choice is for the spouse to come to the United States to wait out the process. However, this option requires two petitions:

Petition for an alien relative (Form 1-130)

Petition for an alien fiancé(e), (Form I-129F)
Fiancé(e) visas: Family based immigration allows an American citizen to bring a fiancé(e) into the country to marry. For this you will need:

• A nonimmigrant visa for fiancé(e) (K-1)
• An I-129F fiancé(e) petition.

Immediate relative immigrant visas (unlimited): These are close relatives who can apply for visas. The U.S. government does not limit their number. In addition to spouses, eligible relatives include:

A U.S. citizen’s unmarried children under age 21 (Form IR-2)

An orphan adopted abroad by a citizen (Form IR-3)

An orphan to be adopted in America by a citizen (Form IR-4)

The parent of a U.S. citizen who is at least 21 years of age (Form IR-5)

Family Preference Immigrant Visas (Limited): These visas (F-1 through F-4) are for more distant relatives, and their number is limited by the government. They include children of U.S. citizens and their spouses and children; siblings and their spouses and minor children; and spouses and children of green card holders. A family based immigration lawyer can help a sponsor file the required form known as a petition for an alien relative (Form I-130).
