Why Japanese is not able to obtain a visa and stay with the person who lived in USA after they married?

When we talked with lawyers, they told us that it was illegal to stay in the USA and suggested us the first way to live together was the groom to be American citizen at first. I had departed from him and waited for him over two years. However, I couldn't receive any visa to stay with him, and so on.Why Japanese is not able to obtain a visa and stay with the person who lived in USA after they married?
Race has nothing to do with it. To stay in the US you need a spousal Visa which takes with the US Government 9-10 months on average. There would be an embassy interview likely in Tokyo. If you were in the US on another visa like a student or work visa if the proper things were filed in time you might hve been allowed to stay but its a delicate situation and if your current visa is about to expire it likely won't make a difference. If it was a tourist visa its hopeless to be allowed to stay as short term relationships or short stays with marriage and often seen as attempts to circumvent the laws and the system.





You can get a spousal visa which will require like I said an interview, financial records of husband, medical exam, and a few other things. If you screw up a few of the basics it could postpone it quite a long time.Why Japanese is not able to obtain a visa and stay with the person who lived in USA after they married?

Therefore, it is sort of discrimination for races or people who don鈥檛 have much money. In general, after marriage, whatever their nationality they are, they are eligible to live together. It means they are eligible to receive any kinds of visa right away after their marriage.

If either partner has to be a student because of visa, they need other money. First of all, they want to spend money for living.

The US is anti-migrant, it has similar rules for pretty much everybody from pretty much any country.





They don't like smart foreigners from places such as Europe or Japan coming in and competing with natural born Americans, and they really hate poor foriegners coming in and competing with poor Americans. In fact they just plain hate foriegners coming in at all and competing with them.





In order to get a good visa one or both of the married couple should be a natural born American citizen and they should have been married for at least 5 years. Otherwise you get treated like an overstay risk.
One of the married couple must be an american citizen or born citizen
