What is the Procedure to Obtain a Fiancé Visa?

A Fiancé Visa is an non-immigrant visa issued to an alien who seeks to enter the United States to marry a U.S. citizen. There are two phases in the process of obtaining a Fiancé Visa. The first part is a petition filed by the U.S. Citizen to prove that the Citizen and fiancé qualify for the K-1 Fiancé Visa. The fiancé will undergo a background check and medical examination. The second part is an application by the fiancé at a U.S. Embassy or consulate abroad and an interview with an Embassy Consular Official. The fiancé is then free to travel to the United States and must marry the U.S. citizen within 90 days after entering the United States.

What Are the Requirements to Obtain a Fiancé Visa?

In addition to the prescribed application forms the U.S. Embassy or consulate abroad will provide, the following documents are normally required: A passport valid for travel to the United States, birth certificate, a divorce or death certificate of any previous spouses, police certificate from all places lived since age 16, medical examination, evidence of financial support, photographs, evidence of a fiancé relationship, and payment of fees.

Who is Eligible for a Fiancé Visa?

The U.S. citizen and the fiancé must be free to marry; that is, both are unmarried, or any previous marriages have ended through divorce, annulment or death. They must also have met in person within the last two years before filing for the fiancé visa. The U.S. citizen may also apply to bring the fiancé's unmarried children, who are under age 21, to the United States. Children derive "K-2" nonimmigrant visa status from the parent so long as the children are named in the petition.
