K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa
Foreign nationals seeking entry into the United States with a K-1 fiancé(e) visa must be engaged to marry a U.S. citizen. The foreign relative must prove that they have met their U.S. citizen fiancé(e) within the two year period preceding the filing of the application. In addition, the couple must marry within 90 days of the fiancé(e)’s entry into the U.S. in K-1 visa status.
To obtain a K-1 fiancé(e) visa applicants must first submit a Form I-129F Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and then apply for the visa stamp at the relevant U.S. consulate/embassy abroad once that petition is approved.
K-3 Spousal Visa
The K-3 visa permits foreign spouses of U.S. citizens to enter the United States prior to the approval of their green card application. K-3 applicants must first file Form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative. Upon receipt of the I-130 filing receipt, the K-3 applicant may then file Form I-129F petition. Upon approval of the I-129F petition, K-3 applicants must then attend an interview at the U.S. consulate or embassy, where the marriage took place, to adjudicate the K-3 visa application. K-3 applicants must demonstrate that their marriage to the U.S. citizen is a bona fide marriage.
