K-1 Visas

A K-1 visa, also known as a fiancé(e) visa, is a non-immigrant visa that allows a foreign national to enter the United States and marry a U.S. citizen within 90 days of arrival. This visa is specifically designed for individuals who are engaged to a U.S. citizen and wish to get married in the United States. The K-1 visa process involves several steps, including filing a petition with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), providing supporting documents, attending an interview at the U.S. embassy or consulate in the foreign fiancé(e)’s home country, and undergoing medical examinations. Once the visa is approved, the foreign fiancé(e) can travel to the United States and proceed with the wedding plans.

It is important to note that although the K-1 visa is technically categorized separately as a non-immigrant visa, it is closely tied to the family-based immigration process. This is because certain steps must be taken to adjust the status after marrying through a K-1 visa in order for the foreign spouse to obtain lawful permanent residency.
