Bring your beloved to the U.S. to live the American dream together
Marriage-Based Immigration Attorney In Durham, North Carolina
Can I Bring My Fiancé To The United States?
If you have fallen in love with someone who is not a United States citizen and plan to build your life together in the U.S., there are immigration options available to help make that possible. A fiancé (K-1) visa allows your fiancé to enter the United States for the purpose of marriage, provided the wedding takes place within the required timeframe. If you are already married, your spouse may be eligible to apply through the family-based immigration process for a visa and, ultimately, lawful permanent residence.
While these options can open the door to starting your life together, the process involves detailed requirements, timelines, and documentation that must be handled carefully. Karina Herhusky works directly with individuals and couples in Durham, North Carolina, and throughout the United States to help them understand their options and navigate each step of the process.
From the initial petition through the required filings and follow-up steps, Karina provides clear guidance to help avoid delays and complications.

What Can an Immigration Lawyer Help Us With?

What Happens During the Fiancé Visa Application Process?
The process begins with filing the required petition and submitting supporting documentation. In many cases, this includes the Affidavit of Support (Form I-864), which outlines the financial responsibilities involved in sponsoring your fiancé or spouse. Signing this form carries long-term obligations, and Karina Herhusky helps clients understand what those responsibilities mean and how they may apply to their specific situation.
After U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services approves the petition, your fiancé must attend an interview at a U.S. consulate or embassy in their home country to obtain the visa. Depending on the circumstances, this step may also involve meeting certain medical and background requirements. Once your fiancé enters the United States, the marriage must take place within 90 days, as required by law.
Each stage of this process requires careful coordination and attention to detail, from the initial filing through the steps that follow marriage, including the application for lawful permanent residence. Herhusky Law Office, PLLC works directly with clients in Durham, North Carolina, and throughout the United States to guide them through each phase, helping them move forward toward marriage and permanent residence with greater clarity and confidence.
