Fiancé(e) Visas
K-1 Visas
U.S. immigration law usually is not the first thing people think about when they get engaged. However, if you want to bring your fiancé(e) to live with you in the United States, there are certain immigration requirements to keep in mind.
For example, only U.S. citizens can petition for a K-1 fiancé(e) visa for their foreign fiancé(e).
The timing of this process will affect when you can expect to get married. The entire process involves multiple stages with different U.S. federal agencies and requirements.
The main steps include:
- Submitting a Form I-129F and specific evidence to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
- Attending the K-1 visa interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate
- Entering the U.S. on a K-1 visa and getting married within 90 days
- Applying for a Green Card with USCIS
Getting the timing and the evidence right can mean the difference between a smooth process or adding months (or more) to how long you have to wait to get married. Immigration Lawyer Susan Han can analyze your case, advise you on the best strategy and timelines, and guide you through each stage of the fiancé(e) visa process.
If you are already married or plan to get married overseas, you may want to go through the immigrant visa process. If your spouse is already in the U.S., they may be eligible for adjustment of status instead of a visa process.
