FIANCE (E) VISA
K1
The K1 visa permits the K1 visa holder to
enter the US for a 90-day period to marry the petitioner and
apply for permanent residence (green card) and obtain a work
permit. Once the visa is issued, the K1 visa holder has six
months to enter the US for the purpose of marriage.
The K1 visa process is rather long and
arduous. However, we will be happy to see you and your fiancé
(e) through the process and make sure that things go as
smoothly as possible. Mishandling of the K1 fiancé (e) visa
application may result in lost time, visa denials or arrest
and deportation of the fiancé (e) where the USCIS suspects
fraud. If you are already married, then you may want to apply
for a K3 visa.
Children of the K1 visa applicant may obtain a
K2 visa to enter the US together.
For whom is a K1 Visa
appropriate?
Fiancé (e) of a US citizen to enter the US and
marry within 90 days.
What are the requirements for
obtaining a K1 Visa?
US citizens who will be getting married to a
foreign national in the United States may petition for a
fiancé (e) classification (K1) for their fiancé (e). You and
your fiancé (e) must be free to marry. This means that both of
you are unmarried, and that any previous marriages have ended
through divorce, annulment or death. You must also have met
with your fiancé (e) in person within the last two years
before filing for the fiancé (e) visa. This requirement can be
waived only if meeting your fiancé (e) in person would violate
long-established customs, or if meeting your fiancé (e) would
create extreme hardship for you. You and your fiancé (e) must
marry within 90 days of your fiancé (e) entering the United
States.
You may also apply to bring your fiancé (e)'s
unmarried children, who are under age 21, to the United
States.
