I have a fiancée in the Philippines and I want her to be with me here in the United States. My problem is that she is the mother of my legal niece. I want to petition both of them to be with me. Can I get my niece same time as my fiancée?

You can file a petition for your fiancé as well as her child if you are a U.S. citizen. You will need to demonstrate there is a genuine relationship between you and your fiancé. You will also need to establish that you intend to marry within 90 days of her entry and that she is otherwise eligible to enter the United States. You may face some additional scrutiny if the child is your niece regarding the nature of your relationship. The best policy is to be upfront about the whole situation if asked.
