Homeland security will now collect social media data on all immigrants. This is a news memo that came out that the USCIS and Department of State can start reviewing social media like Facebook and they can start looking at all of your posts. Anything that you post on the web is not only there temporarily […]

Okay, we’ve got a question coming up here from Arden, “What’s considered too big of an age difference for a fiance visa? My fiance is 20 years younger than me. Is that going to give me problems getting an approval for the visa?”

Okay let’s see Che-Che Acote Quisada asks, “My daughter and I received our green card May of 2015, should we renew our green card this coming May? Or can I apply for citizenship instead of renewing the green card? Thanks in advance.”

Nino asks, “Can same-sex partners get a fiance visa? What is the process?” Yes, to answer your question, absolutely. It used to be state by state, and you had to say that you were gonna get married in a specific state. But when the Supreme Court made it legal everywhere in the United States that same-sex partners can get married, so male/male, female/female, yeah.

So the next question, yeah I'll do this one. Abigail asks, "Do they really have a cap per year for visa applications?" This is a good question. Prominently what we do at RapidVisa with family based visa's. If you're a US citizen sponsoring someone, the answer is no there is no per-cap. You get to […]

Okay, I think there was another question.

Okay, here we go. All right, so Jerry’s asking, “My fiance has a tourist visa, and I want to know if there’s an issue for traveling to the U.S. on a tourist visa, now that we have applied for a K1 fiance visa.”

So, the next bit of news, this has been a topic for a while, and something that we started to see a lot of denials for at the beginning of the year. Since we do a lot of business with the Philippines with fiance visas and spousal visas, Philippines is one of the few countries in the world, to give you a little bit of history, that it’s really hard to get a divorce, especially if you marry in a Catholic church.

And the question goes, “My husband is from Zambia. My income has changed. I’m currently collecting unemployment from the state. It exceeds income requirements but not sure if I can still be the sponsor for my husband.”
