K-1 visa
In 1998 my fiancé was expelled from the US when she tried to reenter using her
expired visa. She had overstayed her 6-month visa by approximately 8 months. They
offered her no copies of the paperwork; therefore we do not know her standing
with the INS.
Now, we are attempting to get her in the country, and to be together
as-soon-as-possible. I have been told to file the K-1 visa application. I have also
been told to file a freedom of information act request. Do I need to file both? If
yes, can I file both at the same time?
And, do I need a lawyer? I feel comfortable filing in the blanks. But is there more
to following the directions in this case.
Thank you.

Re: K-1 visa
First question is what is your citizenship? If US then you should file the I-129F but
she will need a I-601 waiver to overcome the prior immigration violation. The whole
process can take 6 months to 1 year depending on the case.
