What Are the Eligibility Requirements for a K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa?

Obtaining a K-1 visa depends on proving you are eligible and your relationship is valid. Your fiancé status application should prove that you meet the requirements for individuals planning to marry in the U.S. and other standards of good moral character.

For example, the following are some requirements for K-1 visa eligibility:

• You or your fiancé is a U.S. citizen
• You plan to marry your fiancé within 90 days of being united on American soil
• You are eligible for marriage, meaning any previous marriages have been terminated by divorce, death, or annulment
• You have met with your fiancé a minimum of once within the previous two years before filing the K-1 visa petition (unless you are exempt from this requirement due to religious practices, culture, or inability due to extreme hardship)

What Is the Typical Process for Seeking a K-1 Visa?

The basic steps of applying for entry under a fiancé visa are:

• Filing the petition – You’ll need to file Form I-129, establishing your relationship and eligibility
• Applying for your visa – Next, you’ll submit a visa application with the U.S. Embassy or consulate where you live. You’ll then attend an interview where you’ll bring the required documents and answer questions regarding your relationship
• Passing the port of entry inspection – When entering the country, you’ll need to show your valid K-1 non-immigrant visa
• Marrying your fiancé – You are required to marry your fiancé within 90 days of entering the U.S.
• Adjusting your status – After marrying your spouse, you can apply for a green card by filing form I-485 to request an adjustment of status

What Other Benefits Does the K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa Provide?

K-1 visas provide many benefits besides allowing the fiancé(e) to enter the United States and get married. Some of these benefits include being able to:

• Bring your unmarried minor children into the U.S. under a K-2 visa. They may also adjust to permanent resident status if they are unmarried
• Apply for work authorization by submitting form I-765 when you apply for a green card
• Marry in the United States for easier immigration purposes
• Travel with greater ease after you are married

Please be aware that you can easily jeopardize these and other benefits if you fail to follow the regulations associated with a fiancé visa properly. A Massachusetts immigration attorney like those at our law firm can help ensure that you follow the protocol precisely to obtain your K-1 visa and achieve your immigration goals.
