All the best !! Why would you need immigration layer is he/she on visitor visa ? Also your firm might support domestic partner immigration

You can get your firm to take care of dependent visa if that's what he/she is coming in with. Also would you have enough time to go to India to get H4 done if you haven't done already? It takes time I think

Did I miss the part about India?

D2 is correct, I am a US citizen, fiancé is currently here on a F1 student visa and seeking green card/work authorization.

It's best to get a lawyer for the interview. We even had a little phot album with a story of how we met and pictures from my brother's wedding.

I'm from Europe and married to a US citizen. We did it all by ourselves, the interview is a piece of cake if you're relationship is real. The whole process just takes forever, but it's not incredibly difficult.
