I am looking to move my girlfriend to Dallas from Venezuela. What steps do I need to take?
Is it better to hire an attorney to do all the paperwork, or is it easier and cheaper to do it on your own? If an attorney is better, can you recommend on in the Dallas area? Thank you all for your help!!
I would suggest that it is a bit soon for an attorney, as you do not seem to have sufficient legal basis for your girlfriend to immigrate (who I assume is a Venezuelan citizen with no US relatives).
Letters of invitation and other methods etc could secure longer and more frequent temporary US visas for up to a max 180 days in a calendar year. Legal advice could help here.
However until you are married, or unless your girlfriend is highly skilled enough to qualify for immigration on her own: full and legal residency for her is not going to be possible.
Where can I find a divorce attorney in Dallas that will take on a case pro-bono?
