If the fiancé(e)of a US citizen is living overseas, the foreign fiancé(e) will have to get a K-1 visa. This visa will be required by the fiancé(e) to come into the US to marry his/her fiancé(e), who is a US citizen. After entering the US, the marriage should take place within 90 days of the fiancé(e) entering the US. The foreign fiancé(e) will be in position to apply for a green card once the fiancé(e) and US citizen are married. So, it is basically a two-step process; first getting the K-1 visa and second getting married within 90 days of the foreign fiancé(e)'s entry in the US. If you and your fiancé(e) meet the requirements listed below, we promise to charge only a $800 attorney fee. The K-1 visa can take anywhere between 4 to 8 months to be issued.


Features of Fiancé Visa

  • 1  A fiancé(e) visa is for a foreign national who enters the US solely to marry the US citizen fiancé(e). So, a foreign fiancé(e) cannot marry someone else to apply for a green card.
  • 2  A fiancé(e) visa cannot be extended.
  • 3  A foreign fiancé(e) after entering US cannot change her status. This means that a foreign fiancé(e) cannot change her status from a fiancé(e) status to a student status, investor status, and etc after entering the US.
  • 4  If your foreign fiancé(e) is not able to travel to the US, a fiancé(e) visa may be a only option.
  • 5  After your foriegn fiancé(e) entered the US with the fiancé(e) visa, she/he would only have 90 days to marry.
  • 6  Minor children of foreign fiancé(e) can accompany to the US.
  • 7  USCIS may disclose to the foreign fiancé(e) that the US citizen’s criminal history involving sex offenses.
  • 8  K visa will not be issued when a US citizen fiancé(e) filed K-1 petitions for 2 or more fiancé(e) and the previously approved petition was filed within 2 years.
  • 9  K visa will not be issued when a US citizen fiancé(e) has been convicted of a specified sexual offense against a minor.

Requirements for K-1 visa

  • 1  You must be a US citizen. If you have a green card, the K-1 visa is not an option for you. If this is your case, please email me your case information for a free case evaluation to find your other options.
  • 2  There are no legal restrictions that prevent you and your fiancé(e) from getting married.
  • 3  You and your fiancé(e) have met personally at least once in the last 2 years.
  • 4  You and your fiancé(e) have a truly intend to get married after the foreign fiancé(e) comes to the US.
  • 5  Your foreign fiancé(e) does not have a serious criminal history. Although not all criminal histories create a problem, please email me the detail of the foreign fiancé(e)'s criminal history so I can confirm.
  • 6  Your foreign fiancé(e) has not committed any serious immigration law violation. If you think your foreign fiancé(e) might have violated any immigration law, please email me in detail for a free case evaluation.
  • If you and your fiancé(e) meet all the above requirements, your foreign fiancé(e) is most likely eligible for a K-1 visa.
