Op-ed: Fiancé visa disruption would impact Americans

Following the violence in San Bernardino there has been talk of ratcheting down on fiancé(e) visas, but behind every fiancé(e) visa is a U.S. citizen longing to be united with a loved one.

  1. My fiancee is still in the philippines waiting for his annulment which was filed in 2018, still in process now. Do i have to wait for his annulment to finish before i could file a fiancee visa for him or can i start that process now? He & his ex-wife has been separated 16 yrs already & she has her own family now.

    1. Hi, Thesa,
      Yes, you have to be legally eligible to marry in order to file for a K-1. And yes, I know these things can take foreeeeeever in the Philippines, but that’s just the way it is, unfortunately.
      Best,
      Greg
