Enter To Marry With A K-1 Visa
U.S. immigration law allows a person to enter the United States for the purpose of marriage. The appropriate Visa is a K-1 nonimmigrant Visa. Like all nonimmigrant Visas, the K-1 is applicable for a limited time only, and the couple should get married within 90 days of the fiancé’s arrival in the U.S. After the marriage, we can help the K-1 Visa holder apply for lawful permanent residency (a Green Card) through the adjustment of status process.
The Fiancé Visa process all starts with the filing of an I-129 Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) with the National Visa Center. We assist our clients from the outset with help in preparing and filing the I-129 and then with preparing and filing a K-1 Visa application with the appropriate U.S. Embassy or Consulate. This process involves a medical exam as well as providing proof of financial support and an abundance of supporting documentation. We can help you understand the process and gather what documents are required so that your application will be successful the first time you file it and in a timely fashion.
Who May Get A Fiancé Visa?
In order to get a Fiancé Visa, both parties must qualify under immigration laws. To qualify for a Fiancé Visa, you must be able to prove the following:
The petitioner is a U.S. citizen;
The petitioner plans on marrying the foreign national within 90 days of their entry into the country;
Both the petitioner and foreign national have physically met within the last two years; and
Both parties are legally able to marry in the United States.
The process of qualifying for a Fiancé Visa can be complex. A fiancé visa lawyer can help you determine if you qualify and complete appropriate documentation. You will have to submit proof to the government that you meet all of these qualifications. A Fiancé Visa lawyer can review your information and help you navigate the K-1 Visa application.
