What Are The Different Types Of Marriage Visas?
When it comes to marriage-based immigration, there are several visa options:
- K-1 fiancé visa: This visa allows a foreign fiancé to enter the U.S. to marry a U.S. citizen within 90 days.
- K-3 visa: This type shortens the physical separation between foreign spouses and U.S. citizen petitioners while waiting for the approval of an immigrant visa.
- CR-1 visa (conditional resident): This visa grants conditional permanent residency (a type of green card through marriage) to spouses of U.S. citizens.
- IR-1 visa (immediate relative): This provides permanent residency without conditions for spouses of U.S. citizens.
Each type has specific criteria and conditions. Our marriage visa attorneys can help you choose the right type for your situation.
How Do You Qualify For A Marriage Visa In Florida?
To qualify for a marriage visa, you must prove that your marriage is authentic and not for immigration purposes. You must also meet the criteria for the specific type of marriage visa you’re seeking, and you must meet general criteria applicable to all prospective immigrants.
What Is The Marriage Visa Process?
The spouse visa process involves several steps. It starts with filing the necessary petitions, such as the I-130 or K-1 visa application. This is followed by a consular processing or adjustment of status. You will need to attend a biometrics appointment and an immigration interview. Providing bona fide marriage evidence is key to avoiding visa denial.
