If you are planning to marry a United States citizen, your fiancé (male) or fiancée (female) must file a Form I-129F petition on your behalf before you come here to get married. You must get married within 90 days of entering the United States. If not, you may be subject to deportation. Currently, only heterosexual couples are recognized under the law. There are also other deadlines, timelines and residency conditions that must be met when applying for permanent residency status for your wife or betrothed. A skilled immigration lawyer will be able to guide you through these various legal requirements.
