Answer 1

If you are not married yet, you have two options.
1. Fiancee Visa (K1). This is a visa you apply for, check out www.uscis.gov for the application forms. You have to physically be in the U.S. to apply for it, so if you're staying there with him, it's not an option.
2. Marrying there, and then he will be able to apply for a permanent residence as your husband. This is a fairly long process, depending on how adept you are at doing paperwork and other factors. These are the requirements:
You and he will both have to provide passports, birth certificates, 6 identical photos that they'll tell you how, marriage certificate.

U.S. Embassy in Jamaica. After approving the initial application, they give you a packet of more forms to fill out. You'll have to provide lists of every place he's ever lived, along with a criminal record check from Jamaica and any other country he's lived six months or more. All former passports must be provided and if any have been lost you have to report them to the police and they will give you a paper to bring instead. You will have to provide proof that you are capable of providing him, yourself, and any dependents with enough income to be 125% over the poverty line (available on the uscis.gov as well). You will approve this by attaching last year's tax forms, and if that's not enough, titles to property to make up the difference. You will also need to do extensive medical stuff, blood tests, abdomen x-rays, and proof of a long list of vaccinations (including flu shot) and pay a second $390 fee. The bulk of the time necessary depends on how quickly you can accomplish this.

Answer 6

Yes, the K-3 "fiance" visa for someone you're already married to seems absurd, but it's true. The K-3 is optional, not required. A lot of people use it because it's sometimes faster. It takes less time than the IR-1 spouse visa, but then you'll have to do more paperwork after your husband arrives in the US.

Never heard of that. If you are married you don't have a fiance
I had my fiancee come over on a fiancee visa, we got married within the 90 days allowed, and that was the end of it.

Answer 9

I married my Chinese wife last August 15th, and hired an immigration attorney last October. It looks like my wife will be able to come here (finally) next month. So, expect about a year.
