A Fiancé(e) Visa, also known as a K-1 visa, is a non-immigrant visa that allows the foreign-citizen fiancé(e) of a U.S. citizen to enter the United States to marry their U.S. citizen partner within 90 days of arrival.
Purpose:To allow foreign fiancés to enter the U.S. to marry a U.S. citizen.
Time Limit:The couple must marry within 90 days of the fiancé(e)’s arrival.
Process: The U.S. citizen must file a petition (Form I-129F) with USCIS, and the fiancé(e) must then apply for the K-1 visa at the U.S. embassy or consulate in their home country.
After Marriage:Once married, the foreign spouse can apply for adjustment of status to become a permanent resident.
The U.S. citizen petitioner must be a U.S. citizen.
The couple must have met in person at least once within the two years prior to filing the petition.
The couple must intend to marry within 90 days of the fiancé(e)’s arrival.
