A Do-it Yourself Kit for Those Wishing to Sponsor a Foreign Fiancé to Enter the U.S. for the Purpose of Marriage
Guide Rating -  
Pros  •  Comprehensive: This package contains instructions, explanations, samples and forms needed by an American citizen wishing to petition for his or her fiancé to enter the U.S. in order to get married. Inside, those who are not experts on immigration laws, procedures and terminology will find lots of help.

• Comes in binders so that ever-changing INS information can quickly and easily be updated by the publisher.

•  The kit may well save you time, money and frustration. Good for those with a straightforward case.

Cons  •  If you have complications or legal issues, this cannot serve as or substitute for legal assistance. Note also that you will need to file for a marriage-based green card after getting married in the U.S.

•  These packages are timely. Because of ever-changing laws, procedures and fees, it's a good idea to buy originals, not second hand copies, and buy them only when you are ready to file, otherwise some of the information may become obsolete. 
The Bottom Line - A good way to save yourself some time, money and frustration if you need to file for a fiancé visa and have no legal issues or complications.

Guide Review
Review from Jennifer and Peter Wipf
The most difficult cases are often those where we have to be separated from loved ones. Many people are eager to try to trick the system, in part to rush the process and be reunited, and in part because the immigration laws when it comes to fiancés and marriage can be complex and confusing. Doing it right the first time will be better for all in the end. For some, who may have complications and special issues, this may mean hiring an attorney or, if the issue is administrative and not legal, a consultant. Others have a simple and straightforward case but have trouble navigating the laws and procedures they need to follow to quickly file for a fiancé to join them in the U.S. That's where the Alien Fiancé visa kit from the American Immigration Center comes in. It cannot replace an attorney for someone who needs ones, but for those with a simple case it can be just the ticket. Its instructions are clear and detailed, with examples and sample forms. You may still have questions related to non-immigrant visa laws and certain specifics about your interview and other procedures down the road. Nevertheless, if you are eligible, this package can get you going quickly so you can be with your soon-to-be-spouse.
