Easy Spousal Visas in Hialeah

A spousal visa allows a U.S. citizen or permanent resident to bring their spouse to live in the United States.

The type of visa depends on how long the couple has been married:

  • CR-1 visas are for marriages under two years.
  • IR-1 visas are for longer marriages and grant permanent residency.

Both visas let the foreign spouse live and work legally in the U.S.

Our law firm is dedicated to making the spousal visa process in Hialeah as easy as possible.

Spousal Visas

What Are Spousal Visas (CR-1/IR-1 Visas)?

Spousal visas are immigrant visas that allow the spouse of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident to enter the United States and obtain permanent residency. The visa type depends on how long you have been married:

1. CR-1 Visa

This visa grants conditional permanent resident status to couples married less than two years at the time of visa approval.

2. IR-1 Visa

For couples married for two years or more. This visa grants permanent resident status without conditions.

These visas enable your spouse to live and work in the United States, offering a pathway to citizenship in the future.

Who Qualifies for a Spousal Visa Under Immigration Law?

To apply for a spousal visa, you and your spouse must meet the following immigration requirements:
  • The sponsoring spouse must be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.
  • The marriage must be legally valid in the country where it was performed.
  • The relationship must be genuine and not solely for immigration purposes.
  • The sponsoring spouse must meet financial requirements to support the foreign spouse.
  • The foreign spouse must not be inadmissible under U.S. immigration law.

The Spousal Visa Application Process with a Coleman Law Group Immigration Attorney

1. Filing Form I-130

The sponsoring spouse files the Petition for Alien Relative (Form I-130) with USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) to establish the marital relationship. We help you provide all the necessary forms to get your application rolling.

2. National Visa Center (NVC) Processing

Once the petition is approved, the case moves to the National Visa Center (NVC), where additional documents, including the Affidavit of Support (Form I-864) and civil documents, are collected.

3. Visa Interview

The foreign spouse attends a visa interview at the U.S. embassy or consulate in their home country. During the immigration interview, they will present supporting documentation and answer questions about the marriage.

4. Visa Approval

Upon approval, the foreign spouse can travel to the U.S. as a conditional or lawful permanent resident, depending on the visa type.

5. Adjustment of Status (if applicable)

If the foreign spouse is already in the U.S. under a different visa, they may need to file Form I-485 to adjust their status to permanent resident.
