K-1 Fiancé Visa Attorney | Bring Your Partner to the U.S.

Start Your Life Together in the United States

The K-1 fiancé visa allows a U.S. citizen to bring their foreign fiancé(e) to the United States to get married and apply for a green card. We help couples navigate the process smoothly, avoid delays, and prepare a strong application.

What Is the K-1 Visa?

The K-1 visa is a nonimmigrant visa for a foreign national engaged to a U.S. citizen. After entering the U.S., the couple must marry within 90 days, after which the foreign spouse can apply for adjustment of status.

K-1 Visa Requirements

To qualify, you must show:

  • One partner is a U.S. citizen

  • A genuine intention to marry within 90 days of entry

  • The couple has met in person within the past 2 years (with limited exceptions)

  • Both parties are legally free to marry

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the K-1 process take?

Can my fiancé(e) work in the U.S.?

They can apply for work authorization after entering the U.S., though many wait until filing for a green card.

What happens after we get married?

You must file for adjustment of status so your spouse can become a permanent resident.
