I am about to marry my girlfriend from south america. how hard is it to get her in usa?

we are trying to get her here. we want to do everything legal. will this take forever, or is it at all possible? how much will it cost and how long will it take?

Answer:
The cost depends on whether or not you seek professional assistance in applying for her visa. You will need to obtain a fiancee visa and you will have to marry her within 90 days of her arrival. The best thing to do is to look up the Department of Homeland Security website for the relevant fees, forms and related information. You also should consult with an immigration attorney or an office that assists people with these matters, such as your local Congressman's office. What you also need to keep in mind is that if she has had any legal problems, this could affect her ability to get a visa to enter the US. Good luck.
it depends where you live
I know someone from Cuba who had to wait over a year to be with her American husband . If it is true love then it is worth the fight and the wait . Good luck to both of you .
My son,a American citizen married a girl in Hungary. It took around one year for her to get all of her paperwork. Green card ss number,work permit. I don't remember the cost but they did all of the paperwork themselves. They were told that was the fastest way. To do it all overseas at the US embassy. If she came straight over to the states it would take longer to get the paperwork done.
