Three Steps to Apply for a Fiancé Visa
There are several steps you will need to take to apply for a fiancé visa to bring your fiancé to the United States, including:
- Find out if you meet the K-1 visa eligibility requirements.
To bring your fiancé to the U.S. on a fiancé visa, you would need to be a U.S. citizen (not a green-card holder), you and your fiancé would need to plan on getting married within 90 days of your fiancé’s arrival in the U.S. on a fiancé visa, you and your fiancé would need to be legally free to get married (meaning you have no previous marriage that has not been legally terminated), and your fiancé and you have met at least once within the two-year period before filing your petition unless you meet the exceptions. - File Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé.
Submit this form to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). It will establish the relationship between you and your fiancé. - Apply for a K-1 nonimmigrant visa, or fiancé visa.
Once the form is approved, your fiancé is able to apply for a fiancé visa, also known as a K-1 nonimmigrant visa, with the U.S. consulate or embassy where they live and bring the required documents for the visa interview.
If you and your fiancé get married within 90 days, as required, your spouse will be eligible to apply for a green card by filing Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status.
