What Are the Requirements to Obtain the K-1 Visa?

There are certain criteria that must be met for you to be able to bring your fiancé(e) to the United States.

You may be eligible if:

  • You are a U.S. citizen
  • You intend to marry your fiancé(e) within 90 days of his or her arrival to the U.S.
  • You are legally free to marry – any previous marriages must have been terminated
  • You have a valid relationship and are not getting married solely for the immigration benefit
  • You have met your fiancé(e) in person at least once within the last two years (certain religious and hardship exemptions exist for this requirement)

After getting married, your fiancé(e) can apply for a green card. If your fiancé(e) has children who are unmarried and under the age of 21, you may be able to bring them to the U.S. on a K-2 nonimmigrant visa.

What are the steps toward receiving a fiancé(e) visa?

If you have determined that you and your fiancé(e) are eligible for a K-1 visa, you can apply following the process outline below:

  1. File Form I-129F
  2. File Form DS-160
  3. Attend the visa interview and pay the fee
  4. Come to the U.S. for marriage
