Fiancee Visa Immigration Assistance

Obtaining a Fiancée Visa (K-1)

When you are engaged to be married and your fiancée resides in a foreign country, a United States citizen may apply to allow their fiancée to enter the U.S. for a 90 day period.  Upon entry, the fiancée can then apply for conditional permanent residency.  Although this visa originates within the United States, the application is forwarded by the U.S. to the Consulate abroad.  The home country of the fiancée will thereafter contact that individual for additional forms to be filled out and to schedule an interview.  Processing of this application can take several months to process.  Once the visa is granted, it must be used within four months of issuance to enter the U.S.  Visa applications can be complicated and require careful attention to detail and documentation in order to have them approved in a timely manner.  Some documentation requirements include:

• Valid passport;
• Birth certificate;
• Divorce or death certificates from prior spouse;
• Police certificate of good conduct from residences since age 16, and where he/she has resided for six months or more;
• Medical examination;
• Proof of financial support in the United States;
• Proof of valid relationship (photos, e-mails, correspondence, receipts);
• Photographs (Two photographs 1 and ½ inches square (37x37mm), showing full face, against a light background).

Having a professional New Jersey immigration attorney to handle your application is your best option for success in obtaining a fiancée visa.

There are certain requirements that the USCIS demands be met in order to qualify for a fiancée visa.  They include:

• Met in person within two years of the date of filing the petition. A waiver is available if this results in extreme hardship to the petitioner or it violates strict cultural or social practices;
• Have a bona fide intention to marry;
• Are legally able and actually willing to conclude a valid marriage in the United States within 90 days after the fiancée arrives.

If the parties do not marry within 90 days as required, the fiancée and any dependents that traveled with them will be required to depart the U.S. or will be subject to removal.
