Hi, my name is Kim & I will be happy to answer your question.

The USCIS does not allow a green card holder to petition for a fiance to come to the US. I-129F petitions and K visas are only for US citizens. However, once you are natutalized, you may petition for a fiance.

If you marry first, then you may petition for your spouse to come to the US.

I see that I was given a negative rating. However, I was answering your question. The chat client may take a minute in between answers.

after you marry abroad, you will need to petition for your spouse to come to the US and complete consular processing in her home country. This process could take between 6 to 9 months on the average.

are you planning to marry soon? what is your fiance's nationality?

yes, since you have a green card, you may petition for a spouse. It will take 6-9 months usually.

the processing time frame will be approximately the same for either green card holder or US Citizen

if you marry in July or August abroad, then you could start your process after the marriage.

you may ask questions about the process here on JustAnswer.com but I am precluded from representing you outside of the website.

There are several documents to that will need to be filed. I-130 Petition for Alien relative along with supporting documentation will be what you file to start the process. She will complete the process through the consulate in Pakistan. If she is otherwise admissible, then she will be given a stamp in her passport (I-551) to enter as a green card holder.

you stated that you have had your green card for 3 years, did you obtain it through employment?

OK, that is fine

as long as it was not based on a recent previous marriage to a US citizen

it is Ok that you were sponsored by parents. If your green card was based on a previous marriage to a US citizen then that would have not been OK.

yes. then that is OK. have you met your fiance in person?

you will need to show evidence that the marriage is bone fide (real) so you will need to have photographs and evidence of your correspondence-- emails & cards & such. along with a certified copy fo your marriage license with official translation. and copy of her birth certificare with translation and your birth certificarte and translation. you will also send in a photo copy of your green card.

supporting documents are like those I mentioned above-- birth cerifigcates and such

you will need to fill out an affidavit of support along with a biographic information sheet to go along with the I-130

then after the I-130 is approved, then it will be transfered to the National Visa center for overseas consular processing. your new wife will have a medical exam, a police clearance, and pay fees to the National Visa Center. After all of the requirements are met and she is otherwise admissible to the US (not a criminal) then she will be invited to the consualte for her interview

after the the interview, and as long as she is otherwise admissible, then she will recieve her I-551 green card stamp in her passport. Then she can enter the US as a green card holder.

her hard copy green card will arrive at her new US address shortly thereafter.

yes, here is the link:

www.uscis.gov.

click on forms at the top left

there are instructions that go along with the I-130. it will tell you all of the documents that need to be filed and the filing fees assiciated with them

you will need the I-130, the I-864EZ, and the G-325A for both you and your spouse

the instructions will tell you where to mail the petition and documents depending on where you live in the US.
