Hello, this is my first time in this group. I'd like to be introduced to an honest, professional immigration attorney who can help with figuring out which visa my son should apply for to bring his Filipino wife to the United States. My son has been living in Manila for over a year (they have one child, and another is due soon), and he wants to bring his family to his home in Houston, Texas. He tried to follow the proper procedure, but he made a mistake, so now he has to start over from the beginning. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all. 🤗
I don't think the problem is on the Philippine side. The U.S. has strict laws on foreigners entering right now, right? A fiancée visa won't come through that quickly in about a year. I always believe you should handle the paperwork yourself. Embassy staff look for clean, honest intent before anything else, not just legality. In this situation, don't have someone else fix the documents for you. Have your son's fiancée take it one step at a time without bringing anyone in the middle. She'll learn a lot, and you'll be surprised how confident she becomes about her own paperwork. Good luck.
If they're married, they need a spouse visa; otherwise it's a K-1 visa. If you apply through an agency in the Philippines, it only takes 6 months.
Please edit your post. Is your son a U.S. citizen, or is he in the U.S. on a visa?
I recommend Lemuel Carlos in Scottsdale, Arizona. He's a good person, capable, and extremely honest. I used him a few years ago, and although he was expensive, I found him trustworthy. I've known him personally since I lived in Phoenix. I know applicants can do it themselves, but I was worried that if you made a mistake, you'd have to start over months later. Since my husband and I are elderly, we were cautious about wasting time. There's no harm in talking to Lemuel to see if he's a good fit. He's a naturalized Filipino who has lived in the U.S. since he was young, and he speaks English and Tagalog very fluently. He specializes in Filipino immigrants. Good luck.
In my opinion, the best option is for your son to return to the U.S., find a job, and apply for a family visa. It helps show strong financial support for the family (an Affidavit of Support). If needed, adding your son's income and even your income could help the visa application.
