This page will only provide a BRIEF overview of some issues you might encounter and things to consider in petitioning for a K-1 Fiancée Visa. Remember that this site is NOT a complete source of information. Because legal matter is involved.

  • Keep the line of communication open between you and your fiancée by corresponding and phoning each other as often as possible. 

  • Keep all documents that prove your relationship with your fiancée, including airplane tickets, letters, photos, receipts, phone bills, etc. 

  • Get to know each other (you and your fiancée) as much as possible. 

  • Find out the legal obligations you both have before, during and after obtaining the K-1 Fiancée Visa. 

  • Apply for permanent residency once married. 

 

  • You must be a U.S. citizen who will be getting married to a foreign national in the U.S. 

  • You and your fiancée must be free to marry: both of you must be unmarried, or any previous marriages must have ended through divorce, annulment or death. 

  • You must also have met with your fiancée in person within the last two years before filing for the fiancée visa. This requirement can be waived only if meeting your fiancée in person would violate long-established customs, or if meeting your fiancée would create extreme hardship for you. 

  • You and your fiancée must marry within 90 days of your fiancée entering the United States. Failing this, your fiancée will have to return to his/her home country. No extension is given 

    You must be a US citizen. Permanent residents of the US are not allowed to obtain fiancée visas.

Important advice:


Never use services from a foreign country to apply for a K1 Fiancée visa (like Russia). Only use US immigration services from a recommended company established in the US.

Never try to get your alien girlfriend into the US other then a K1 Fiancée visa if you want to marry her. It would be a fraud on the U.S. government for the foreign fiancée to come to the U.S. on a visitor’s visa, or some other visa or visa waiver, in order to marry here and remain in the U.S.
