K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa

Schedule a Consultation

For U.S. citizens who want to bring their foreign fiancé(e) to the U.S. to marry.

What Is the K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa

The K-1 fiancé(e) visa allows a foreign national engaged to a U.S. citizen to enter the United States for the purpose of getting married. After entering the United States, the couple must marry within 90 days, after which the foreign national may apply for lawful permanent residence (“green card”) through Adjustment of Status.

K-1 cases are closely reviewed by USCIS and U.S. consulates. My office helps couples prepare strategically documented filings designed to demonstrate a bona fide relationship and compliance with U.S. immigration laws.

Qualification for K-1 Visa

Who Qualifies for a K-1 Visa

You may qualify for a K-1 visa if:

    • The petitioner is a U.S. citizen;
    • Both parties are legally free to marry;
    • The relationship is genuine;
    • The couple intends to marry within 90 days of entry; and
    • The couple has generally met in person within the required timeframe.

The K-1 Visa Process

The process generally begins with filing a petition with USCIS establishing the qualifying relationship. After approval, the case is transferred to the appropriate U.S. embassy or consulate abroad for visa processing.

We assist clients through:

    • Petition preparation and filing;
    • Relationship evidence strategy;
    • Requests for Evidence (RFEs);
    • Embassy and consular processing;
    • Medical examination requirements; and
    • Visa interview preparation.

Building a Strong K-1 Case

USCIS and consular officers carefully review whether the relationship is legitimate and entered into in good faith.

We help clients prepare strong supporting evidence, which may include:

    • Communication records
    • Travel history
    • Photographs together
    • Engagement documentation
    • Affidavits
    • Other evidence demonstrating a bona fide relationship.

Cases involving prior visa denials, prior marriages, immigration violations, or criminal history often require additional legal strategy and preparation.
