Where can I find free legal advice on Immigration issues - my fiance is trying to move here to the US.?

My fiance is British (drives a recycling truck) we are planning to marry in May of 08. Things have changed drastically with the emmigration/immigration laws since 2001, I need help navigating what the legal jargon means from all the info we've received from the Embassy and the internet. I need help in setting up a plan to get him here, what to fill out - when to send it in, etc....any ideas and resources would be helpful!!!Where can I find free legal advice on Immigration issues - my fiance is trying to move here to the US.?
There is a great deal of information here: http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/fia鈥?/a> The application process is detailed, however it looks easy enough to follow. The instructions are pretty much plain language.Where can I find free legal advice on Immigration issues - my fiance is trying to move here to the US.?
First, I want to congratulate you on your engagement and also say thank you for going about this legally. I have nothing against immigrants who are here legally. I hope you and your future husband are very happy.





Your local bar association is a good source to start with. They can generally point you in the direction of legal aid or some other legal entity that gives free legal advise or can refer you to an attorney that may take your case pro bono. I used to work with an attorney who would help people with the immigration process for free (and I worked for a huge, fancy law firm with lawyers that charged $250 per hour). There are attorneys out there who will help.





Best of luck to you both.
what country are you from? if you are from the us it's very easy , if not you have problems. I have more info if you need it.
Go to www.emichoice.com and go to contact page. You will get free advice Monday -Friday from 9am-8pm. Good luck
To start the process, you need to file an I-129F known as the application for a Fiance Visa. This is where it all starts for bringing your Fiancee to the United States, Since he is English, he may be able to get a work visa and stay here while going through the process, but that can bring unwanted scrutiny to your case. There is nothing to stop him from coming here on a work visa and then getting married, but they can require him to return and obtain the proper visa documents which is very frustrating. The process and steps are outlined in a Visa Kit e-book available at http://www.fianceevisakit.com


Best of luck!
Immigration procedures change all the time.





Its wise to get an immigration lawyer because they know how to maneuver the system as well as know how to process the papers quickly.





If you do this on your own, you may make matters worst and may take years to do.
well make sure you get married in the states
The process for a fiance is extremely simple, and it has not changed in many years...It certainly has not changed since 2001.





There are just a lot of forms to fill out. You file an I-129 petition with a bunch of supporting documents. When it is approved, it is sent to the US embassy in London. Your fiance applies for a visa with a bunch of other supporting documents. He gets the visa, goes to the US, marries you within 90 days, and applies for a Green Card. You live happily ever after.





See? Simple!
