What Is A Fiancé(e) Visa?
A fiancé(e) visa, also known as a K-1 visa, is a type of nonimmigrant or temporary visa. It grants foreign fiancé(e)s of U.S. citizens permission to enter the U.S. so they can get married and start a life here.
Once the K-1 visa is granted, the couple must get married within 90 days after the fiancé(e) enters the U.S. The foreign spouse is then eligible to apply for adjustment of status to become a conditional lawful permanent resident, also known as a green card holder.
How Do You Apply For A Fiancé(e) Visa?
The fiancé(e) visa process involves several steps. The first is filing a petition with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), called Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e). You will also need to file an Affidavit of Support (Form I-864) along with it. These forms are extremely detailed and require extensive supporting documentation to demonstrate eligibility and the authenticity of the relationship.
Failure to fill them out accurately and completely can result in serious setbacks. For that reason, it’s crucial to seek legal assistance for peace of mind.

A skilled lawyer can ensure that your fiancé(e) visa petition is correctly documented and submitted, which can make a significant difference between quick approval or an extended waiting period.
