- The individual applying for their immigrant fiancé must be a United States Citizen.
- The petitioner and the fiancé must intend to marry with in 90 days of the alien fiancés arrival in the United States.
- There are no impediments on both individuals ability to marry.
- The individuals have met in person within the two (2) years before filing petition
- Note: Exceptions to the meeting in person rule:
- This would violate the foreign fiancés strict and established customs or Foreign culture/ social practice.
- The individual applying for their Fiance can prove that an extreme hardship would be met by this requirement.
A United States citizen may bring their fiancé to the United States in order for them to marry as well as to reside. This is done with a K-1 Visa and the filing of a I-129F petition. K-1 visas permit the foreign fiancé to travel to the U.S and marry their sponsor within a 90-day period of their arrival. After this is done the foreign citizen may apply for an adjustment of status with USCIS. Also, note that children of a K-1 visa applicant may be eligible for a K-2 visa.
Contact a LawyerWhile we previously handled immigration cases, we still provide some general immigration information on our web site for assistance to the general public. This is no substitute for consulting with an immigration attorney about your specific facts and/or case which we highly recommend, especially since some laws, rules and procedures may change at any time and web site pages are not intended to provide legal advice and are not always updated. Thus, we urge you to consult with an immigration attorney now and if you need any assistance in finding one please contact our law offices now for help.
