Building a Future Together: Insights into the Fiancé(e) Visa

engaged couple

If you are in a committed relationship with a foreign national and both intend to marry in the United States, the K-1 fiancé(e) visa may be the appropriate choice for bringing your fiancé(e) to the U.S.

Key Considerations for Applying for a K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa

The K-1 visa is designed specifically for the fiancé(e)s of U.S. citizens who wish to enter the U.S. to get married.

Here are some key points to consider when deciding whether and when to apply for a K-1 fiancé(e) visa:

  • Intent to Marry: The K-1 visa is suitable if you and your fiancé(e) genuinely plan to marry within 90 days of their entry into the United States.
  • U.S. Citizenship: As the petitioner, you must be a U.S. citizen to sponsor your fiancé(e) for a K-1 visa. If you are a lawful permanent resident (green card holder), the K-1 visa is not an option.
  • Relationship Requirements: You and your fiancé(e) must have a genuine, bona fide relationship and be able to provide evidence of your relationship, such as photographs, correspondence, and other documentation.
  • Timing: The K-1 visa process can take several months, so planning and initiating the process well before your wedding date is essential.
  • 90-Day Requirement: Once your fiancé(e) enters the U.S. on a K-1 visa, you must marry within 90 days of their entry. If you do not marry within this time frame, your fiancé(e) must leave the country.
  • Planning and Preparation: Understanding the requirements, documentation, and steps involved in applying for a K-1 visa is essential.

Guidance from an Attorney for a Smooth Process

An experienced family immigration attorney can handle the process correctly and efficiently. Immigration laws and procedures may change, so it's advisable to consult with a lawyer or directly with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for the most current and accurate information regarding the K-1 fiancé(e) visa process.
