Is it possible to marry my girlfriend in Czech Republic and then bring her back to the states to get Greencard

Question

Ok so i want to marry my girlfriend within the next year or so. Is it better to marry in the Czech Republic and then bring her over here to get her Green Card, or should i bring her over and then marry over here? Any answers are greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

if you are a us citizen apply for a fiance visa, then bring her here, marry her and apply to get the green card (temporary one for 2 yrs) after that time she can  apply to  get the permanent green card and after 5 yrs she can become a us citizen

Answer 2

If you marry her there, you file for a spousal visa at the US consulate there.  She remains in the Czech Republic until the visa is approved.  It will take about 2 years.

If you apply for a fiance visa, you must prove how and where you met, how long and how well you know each other, when and where you have been together -- prove the relationship is valid and enduring.  And you must prove you have sufficient income and assets to support her and guarantee a $30,000 bond.

She must remain in Czech Rep. while the visa is processed.  It will take about a year.  If approved, she can enter US, and you have 90 days to marry & apply for spousal visa.  This is the only way she can stay in US while spousal visa is approved.

Answer 3

It is best to marry her there and apply for a permanent residency there at the U.S. embassy...and it take time.. allot of time...if you bring her here you need a visa...more like a tourist visa and that could take allot of time also and does not guarantee anything
