What is a Fiancé(e) Visa?

A fiancé(e) visa, also known as a K-1 nonimmigrant visa, is for a U.S. citizen's foreign fiancé(e) who wants to come to the United States to marry. The core rule is that you must marry your fiancé(e) within 90 days of their entry into the U.S. After the marriage, your spouse can apply to adjust their status and become a lawful permanent resident (a Green Card holder).

What is the Fiancé Visa Process?

The journey to a K-1 visa is primarily handled in two main stages, involving two different U.S. government agencies.

Stage 1: The USCIS Petition

The fiancé visa, or K-1 visa, allows a foreign-citizen fiancé(e) of a U.S. citizen to travel to the United States to get married. There are a few key requirements:

The U.S. citizen and their fiancé(e) must have met in person at least once within the last two years.
The couple must genuinely intend to marry within 90 days of the fiancé(e)'s arrival in the U.S.

Stage 2: The Visa Application

The NVC approval petition will be forwarded to the U.S. embassy or consulate in your fiancé(e)'s home country. From there, your fiancé(e) will attend a visa interview and the visa will hopefully be embedded in her/his passport.
