What’s the best option for getting my significant other a visa?
My boyfriend and I want to get married and wanted to know what the easiest fastest way to get him over here is.
He’s currently in Mexico and I’ve gone 3 times this year already to see him but my work doesn’t allow me to take a lot of time off. I don’t want to move over there because my job is here and I want to continue my education and to be honest I have nothing in Mexico place to liveas he lives with his parents
I did some research and have seen there’s a fianc visa to marry over here or the option to marry then put in an application. And if I do that is it likely he’ll get a visa?

The quickest way will be determined by whether or not your boyfriend has a tourist visa which enables him to enter the US as a tourist/visitor. If not, you can either file a fiance visa on his behalf or get married to him in Mexico and then petition for him as your spouse. Both of those processes will take about 10-12 months on average. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or need assistance. I handle these types of petitions for my clients on a daily basis.
