U.s. citizen marrying a costa rican, need legal help?


Travel Info
I'm from Puerto Rico (u.s. citizen) and getting married to my fiance who is costa rican. it is a serious relationship, it is NOT for papers. We're getting married in march but he's staying in costa rica until he's done with his masters degree in september. What petition do i need to file and how long does it last? we want to be together as soon as he's done with his master's in september and i want him to come already with his residency or at least work permit. i need help!! what do i need do? i dont have money for an attorney, enough spending with traveling back and forth every time we visit each other. I also want to know how long will it take for me to have my work permit in costa rica?

Travel Tips
Immigration is a very lengthy process. You will need to get married first and then file the paper work. Belive me, there is a lot of paper work to become a U.S. citizen. Once you are married, he will need to file a permanent residency status (green card), then there is a three year wait for citizen qualification. This website may help a bit www.USCIS.GOV. There are petitions that need to be filed, paperwork to go through, and interviews to be sure you both are really in love. A lot of work, but worth it

Others
I am no expert, but I think you have him apply for a marriage visa. And after the wedding he should be a citizen and the visa will be terminated. I placed a link for you. But I do not know if it will help or not. Congradulations!
