Important Visitor Visa Warning
A Visitor Visa Is Not for Immigration
A visitor visa is for a temporary visit. It is not the correct path for moving to the United States, getting around the fiancé or spouse visa process, or starting a permanent residency plan.
If you are serious about bringing your partner to the United States, the proper path may be a Fiancé Visa, a Spouse Visa, or a careful comparison of the two paths at Fiancé Visa vs Spouse Visa.
