Fiancé Visa
What is a Fiancé Visa?
U.S. immigration law allows a U.S. citizen to petition for a alien fiancé(e) to obtain a K-1 nonimmigrant visa to travel to the United States and seek admission. Within 90 days after being admitted as a K-1 nonimmigrant, the couple must enter into a bona fide marriage.
What Do I Do After the Wedding?
After being admitted to the United States as a K-1 nonimmigrant and marrying the U.S. citizen petitioner within 90 days, the alien spouse can then apply for lawful permanent resident status in the United States (get a Green Card).
Once we finish working on your K-1 visa and you have married we can set up new representation to help you with obtaining lawful permanent resident status (green card).
What About my Fiancé's Children?
If your fiancé(e) has children who are under 21 and unmarried, the children may be eligible to come to the United States on a K-2 nonimmigrant visa.
You must include the names of your fiancé(e)’s children on the Form I-129F if you wish to bring them to the United States. The children must continue to be unmarried and under 21 in order to be admitted to the United States as K-2 nonimmigrants. They may travel with your fiancé(e) or later, but they cannot travel to the U.S. before your fiancé(e).
If you and your fiancé(e) married within 90 days of your fiancé(e)’s admission into the U.S., your fiancé(e)’s children who were admitted as K-2 nonimmigrants may also apply for a Green Card by filing Form I-485 with USCIS. However, K-2 nonimmigrant children must remain unmarried in order to be eligible for a Green Card. K-2 nonimmigrant children should apply for a Green Card at the same time or after your fiancé(e).
What Forms Do I Need to File?
You will need to file Forms I-129F and Form G-1145.
How Much Does It Cost?
The government filing fee as of August 2020 is $535.
