Eligibility Criteria for K-1 Fiancé(e) Visas
To be eligible for a K-1 fiancé(e) visa, the applicant must prove to the U.S. Immigration & Citizenship Services (USCIS) that:
- They are a U.S. citizen
- They intend to marry the fiancé(e) within 90 days of their arrival in the U.S.
- Both the petitioner and the fiancé(e) are legally free to marry. This means neither party can be currently married. If previously married, legal proof of the marriage’s end (annulment, divorce, or death) is required.
Typically, the petitioner should have met the fiancé(e) in person at least once in the past two years. Exceptions may apply.
The USCIS Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) is a crucial document to initiate this visa application.
Additional Information on K-1 Fiancé(e) Visas
- Post K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa Petition Submission: USCIS processes applications in the order received. Check processing times here.
- After K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa Issuance: The foreign national must marry the U.S citizen within 90 days of entry. Post marriage, the K-1 visa holder can apply for a green card. If marriage doesn’t take place within 90 days, the K-1 visa expires, and extensions aren’t available. The visa holder would need to leave the U.S. or change their immigration status to stay legally.
- Multiple K-1 Visa Applications: If you’ve applied for a fiancé(e) visa previously, the U.S. government might suspect immigration fraud, especially if the fiancé(e) was met through an international marriage broker. In such scenarios, consulting an immigration attorney is even more essential.
