How would i go about getting my girfriend out of China to the U.S.A.?

Question

I want to get my chinese girlfriend out of China , and into the U.S.A. How do i do this legally?

Answer 1

Do you want to get her to the US temporarily (ie. for a visit) or permanently? Based on your answer to this, your girlfriend will have to apply for either an immigrant visa (for example, as a spouse) or for a non-immigrant visa (tourism, business, student, etc...). This website is VERY helpful: http://www.unitedstatesvisas.gov/

Also, you or your gf should contact the consular section of the nearest US mission. The Embassy website is here: http://beijing.usembassy-china.org.cn/

Answer 2

Great website for information. www.uscis.gov
go under forms and complete the I129-F. It is a petition for a fiance(e) visa. It allows her to come here as a nonimmigrant. Once she gets here you guys must marry within 90 days. It usually takes 9 to 12 months before she is allowed to come.

Answer 3

Take at least 10,000 American money to China and ahead straight to the Ambassador then see what happened.

Answer 4

Other than marriage, the only other option is probably a student or visitor visa, but those would not allow her to stay permanently.

Answer 5

You could get her temporary visa. That is either a student visa, or a fiance visa. If you contact INS, they will tell you what paper work to use.

Answer 6

Hurray. The key word here is legally. One of my parents immigrated to the US, legally. Thank you.

Answer 7

get a fiance visa through the government

Answer 8

Marry her.

Answer 9

Adopt her.
