Getting married to a Colombian woman as an America. Is this going to hinder her from getting a marriage visa and coming to America with me?

With all the executive orders he's spewing forth, I wouldn't be surprised if you run into some roadblocks, if only out of confusion on the part of immigration officials. For both your sakes, I hope it isn't too disruptive. Mazel tov!

It's anyone's guess, but Trump's an idiot.

When did you submit the marriage visa? Also congrats! My wife is also Colombian and these last few days have been a fun time

Edit: I wish I could supply more information directly, but I am still trying to learn the visa processes. A local immigrant lawyer runs a daily Q&A stream if you want to hop in and see if you can get a slot to ask about your situation. Link: Jim Hacking immigration law. Dood is a good guy who doesn't bullshit and gets straight to the point. I hope everything goes well for you and your SO

Yay! Wishing you both the best. I feel weird promoting a YouTube stream but it's helping me learn a lot by just listening and hearing people's stories. I believe the Zoom number and Whatsapp numbers are posted on his page. Looks like today's is scheduled for 3:30PM COT/UTC -5 and tomorrow's is 6:30PM COT/UTC -5.
