What is the lawyer's role?

An immigration lawyer helps clients navigate the visa process by assessing eligibility, gathering necessary documentation, and accurately completing forms like I-129F or I-130. We ensure proper evidence of the relationship and financial requirements are met through affidavits of support. Our law office manages all communication with USCIS and the National Visa Center, ensuring a smooth process and preparing the client for the consular interview. If any issues arise, such as requests for additional evidence or legal complications, we provide support that minimizes errors, avoids delays, and increases the likelihood of visa approval.

What are the financial requirements?

K1 Fiancé(e) Visa. The financial requirements for a K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa focus on ensuring that the U.S. citizen petitioner can financially support their foreign fiancé(e) after they arrive in the United States. The key requirement is that the petitioner must meet or exceed 100% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for their household size, which includes the petitioner, the fiancé(e), and any dependents.

CR-1/IR-1 Spousal Visa. The financial requirements for a spousal visa (CR-1/IR-1) ensure that the U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident petitioner can financially support their foreign spouse to prevent them from becoming a public charge. The petitioner must meet or exceed 125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for their household size, which includes the petitioner, the foreign spouse, and any dependents.

Can children come along?

Yes, children can accompany a parent under both the fiancé(e) (K-1) visa and the spousal (CR-1/IR-1) visa, provided they meet certain requirements.

K1 Fiancé(e) Visa. For a fiancé(e) visa, the children of the foreign fiancé(e) can apply for a K-2 visa. To qualify, they must be under 21 years old, unmarried, and listed on the initial K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa petition. They can enter the U.S. with their parent and later adjust status to permanent residency.

CR-1/IR-1 Spousal Visa. For a spousal visa, the children of the foreign spouse can apply for a CR-2 or IR-2 visa, depending on the length of the marriage. They must also be under 21 and unmarried. Each child must file a separate immigrant visa petition to accompany or follow their parent to the U.S. and obtain lawful permanent resident status.

What happens after the K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa is approved?

K1 Fiancé(e) Visa. After a K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa is approved, the foreign fiancé(e) has six months to enter the U.S. Once they arrive, the couple must marry within 90 days. After the marriage, the foreign spouse applies for adjustment of status to become a permanent resident by filing Form I-485. While waiting for approval, they can apply for work authorization and travel permission. Upon approval, the foreign spouse receives a green card. If the marriage is less than two years old, they receive a conditional green card, which will later require additional filing to remove conditions. The green card allows the spouse to live and work permanently in the U.S.

CR-1/IR-1 Spousal Visa. After a spousal visa (CR-1/IR-1) is approved, the foreign spouse receives an immigrant visa in their passport and can enter the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident. Upon arrival, they automatically become a permanent resident and can live and work in the U.S. without the need for additional permits. The green card is typically mailed to their U.S. address within a few weeks. If the marriage is less than two years old, they will receive a conditional green card, valid for two years, requiring later filing to remove conditions. If the marriage is over two years old, they will receive a permanent green card valid for 10 years.

How do we prove our relationship is genuine?

K1 Fiancé(e) Visa. To prove a genuine relationship for a K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa, the U.S. citizen petitioner and their foreign fiancé(e) must submit various forms of evidence to demonstrate the authenticity of their relationship. This can include photos of the couple together, correspondence such as emails, texts, or social media interactions, and documentation that proves they have met in person within the last two years, like airline tickets or hotel receipts. Affidavits from friends or family confirming the relationship, as well as engagement or wedding plans, can further support the case.

CR-1/IR-1 Spousal Visa. To prove a genuine relationship for a spousal visa, the U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident petitioner and their foreign spouse must provide evidence that their marriage is legitimate. This may include photos of the couple together, correspondence like emails, texts, or phone records showing regular communication, and documentation of their life as a married couple, such as joint bank accounts, leases, or utility bills. Wedding photos, invitations, and proof of the ceremony also help. Affidavits from friends or family attesting to the marriage's validity can further support the application.

What happens during the visa interview?

K1 Fiancé(e) Visa. During the K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa interview, the foreign fiancé(e) meets with a consular officer at a U.S. embassy or consulate. The officer reviews documents and asks questions to verify the legitimacy of the relationship, including how the couple met, their communication, and wedding plans. They may also ask about the foreign fiancé(e)'s background and the U.S. petitioner's life. The officer ensures the U.S. petitioner meets financial support requirements and reviews the results of the required medical exam. Based on the interview, the visa will either be approved, additional information may be requested, or it could be denied. If approved, the fiancé(e) can enter the U.S. and must marry within 90 days.

CR-1/IR-1 Spousal Visa. The spousal visa interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate involves a review of submitted documents and questions to verify the legitimacy of the marriage. The consular officer asks about the couple's relationship history, how they met, wedding details, and future plans. Personal questions may also cover the foreign spouse's background, employment, and any previous marriages. The officer ensures that the U.S. petitioner meets financial support requirements and reviews the foreign spouse's medical examination results. Based on the interview, the officer will approve or deny the visa, or request additional evidence. If approved, the foreign spouse can enter the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident.

Can the applicant work while on a fiancé(e) or spousal visa?

K1 Fiancé(e) Visa. For a fiancé(e) visa (K-1) holder, they can apply for work authorization upon entering the U.S. by filing Form I-765 with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). However, this work authorization is temporary and typically lasts only for the duration of the K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa (90 days). After marrying their U.S. citizen fiancé(e) and applying for adjustment of status (to get a green card), the K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa holder can apply for a new work permit as part of that process, allowing them to work while awaiting permanent residency approval.

CR-1/IR-1 Spousal Visa. For a spousal visa (CR-1/IR-1) holder, they are eligible to work in the U.S. immediately upon entry. Since spousal visa holders enter the U.S. as lawful permanent residents, they do not need to apply for a separate work permit. Once they arrive, they can work legally without further authorization. Their green card, which is typically mailed shortly after entering the U.S., serves as proof of their right to work.
