What Is A K-1 Visa?

A K-1 visa is a nonimmigrant visa that allows the foreign-born fiancée of a U.S. citizen to enter the United States for the purpose of marriage. The couple must marry within 90 days of the foreign fiancée’s arrival, after which the foreign spouse can apply for permanent residency.

What Are The Advantages Of A K-1 Visa?

The K-1 visa offers several benefits, including a relatively quick processing time compared to other family-based visas. It allows couples to begin their life together in the U.S. and provides a direct path to permanent residency after marriage. Additionally, any unmarried children under 21 of the foreign fiancée may be eligible to accompany their parent through a K-2 visa.

Who Is Eligible For A Fiancée Visa?

The path to obtaining a K-1 visa requires meeting specific criteria established by U.S. immigration law. Here are the key requirements that couples must satisfy:

  • The U.S. citizen must legally be able to marry.
  • Both parties must be free to marry.
  • The couple must have met in person within the past two years.
  • They must have a genuine intention to marry within 90 days of arrival.
  • The U.S. citizen must meet certain income requirements to financially support their fiancée.

Our immigration attorneys can help you understand these requirements in detail and guide you through gathering the necessary documentation to support your petition.
