My fiance is in the Navy, she is in active duty and stationed right now in a military base outside Atlanta, Ga. We're planning to get married in the first months of 2008. What immigration benefits am I entitled to? What's the best way to proceed? I appreciate any answers...What immigration benefits do spouses of military personel get?None, you will have to go through the same process as everyone else, even when you are married. The only thing that might be a possibility is that the MTF is cleared to do immigration medical exams so there is no cost. And maybe anything that needs to be notarized can be done at the JAG office.
Are you already in the US? Did you come on a fiancee visa? or something else?
You will need several copies of the marriage certificate as well as both of your birth certificates to start the necessary paperwork. The process can take months to go through so you are aware of it. After you have had a Conditional Visa for 2 years you will get a Permanent Resident one. You may be eligible to get your US Citizenship within 2 to 3 years instead of 5.
once you are married and entered into the DEERS system then you can get a military ID card. As you will not have a Social Security # yet they will use a temporary one on the ID. You will also be able to use the base for things like shopping, gym, pool, etc...What immigration benefits do spouses of military personel get?Are you talking about immigration to the US? If you're not a US citizen then you need to get married before any benefits extend to you. I'm not sure about the process.
If you are a US citizen, then once you're married you'll be able to move with her to most of the bases abroad (there are exceptions - Korea, Iraq, etc.) Immigration paperwork is not needed - the gov't will take care of technicalities for you.What immigration benefits do spouses of military personel get?One other advantage: When your wife files for you, she will only have to show 100% of the federal poverty line on the affidavit of support. Everyone else has to show 125%. For a two person family, your spouse will have to show $13,690 in income instead of $17,112.What immigration benefits do spouses of military personel get?
None, other than the ones that every American citizens spouse gets.
