Fiancee Or Spouse Visa?

Hi

I am marrying my fiancee from Thailand. How long does it take to get the green card in the USA if we register the marriage in Thailand instead of doing the fiancee visa path?

Which is the best route to take? A lawyer in the US told me that it would take 10-12 months for my wife to get the green card of we register the marriage in Thailand. The fiancee visa takes 4-6 months to get and then the green card/stamp is received after about 8-10 months. Is this time frame realistic? I am a US citizen.

Thanks

I am sorry but I can not answer for Thailand. But, when I married my Japanese wife 11+ years ago in Japan, it only took about two or three months for all the paperwork to be completed. Once she enters the states with her "sealed envolope", the green card is automatically sent to your house. I remember thinking I should have brought her into the states and married her there because it would have been quicker. Now I am wondering why I did it at all. :D Also, I know people that used lawyers but, IMHO, they are not necessary as all the paperwork is straight forward. READ ALL PAPERWORK CAREFULLY AND BE FULLY AWARE WHAT YOU ARE SIGNING. :D:o

Yes, your lawyer's time-frames are accurate and very typical in these cases.
