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:
This visa grants conditional permanent resident status to couples married less than two years at the time of visa approval.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Upon approval, the foreign spouse can travel to the U.S. as a conditional or lawful permanent resident, depending on the visa type.
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.
