If you're a noncitizen who is engaged or married to a U.S. citizen, you may qualify for a visa or green card. Not everyone qualifies, however, and it’s not easy to find reliable information or deal with the federal immigration bureaucracy.

Start your search for answers here. Expert author Ilona Bray shows you how to determine whether you qualify to visit or live in the United States and how to choose the best application strategy. She explains all the steps you and your spouse or fiancé will need to follow so that you can get that visa and green card—and relax, knowing you can be together legally in the United States.

Fiancé & Marriage Visas guides you through the whole process, as you prepare paperwork and collect documents, prepare for interviews with immigration officials, and wait out the two-year “testing period” if you’ve been married only a short time. You’ll find out how to make a convincing case that your marriage is for real, and get tips on how to keep your case moving through the bureaucracy.
