For Couples Engaged to be Married — The K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa

The K-1 visa, also known as the fiancé(e) visa, is a non-immigrant visa specifically designed for the foreign fiancé(e) of a U.S. citizen. This visa allows the foreign fiancé(e) to enter the United States with the intention of getting married to their U.S. citizen partner within 90 days of arrival. Following the marriage, the foreign spouse can then apply for adjustment of status to become a lawful permanent resident (green card holder). The K-1 visa process is comprehensive and requires meticulous preparation and adherence to U.S. immigration laws to ensure a successful application.

K-1 Visa Eligibility

To be eligible for a K-1 visa, several conditions must be met:

• Bona Fide Intention to Marry: Both the U.S. citizen petitioner and the foreign fiancé(e) must demonstrate a genuine intention to marry within 90 days of the fiancé(e)'s arrival in the United States.
• In-Person Meeting Requirement: The couple must have met in person at least once within the two years preceding the filing of the petition, unless such a meeting would violate strict cultural or religious customs or result in extreme hardship to the U.S. citizen petitioner.
• Legal Capacity to Marry: Both parties must be legally free to marry, meaning any previous marriages have been legally terminated through divorce, annulment, or death.
