Requirements to Obtain a Fiancé Visa
The United States Embassy or consulate
abroad where the fiancé of an American citizen will apply for a visa
will notify the fiancé and give him/her the necessary forms and
instructions. Since a fiancé visa applicant is an intending immigrant,
he/she must meet most of the same documentary requirements of an
immigrant visa applicant.
In addition to the prescribed application
forms, the following documents are normally required:
-
A passport valid for travel to the
U.S. and with a validity date at least six months beyond the
applicant's intended period of stay in the U.S.
-
Birth certificate
-
Divorce or death certificate of any
previous spouse for both the applicant and the petitioner
-
Police certificate from all places
lived since age 16
-
Medical examination
-
Evidence of financial support
-
Two nonimmigrant visa photographs
-
Evidence of a fiancé relationship
-
Payment of fees
The consular officer may ask for
additional information according to the circumstances of the case.
Documents in foreign languages should be translated. The embassy or
consulate where the fiancé of an American citizen will apply for a visa
will inform the fiancé of any additional specific requirements, such as
where to go for the required medical examination. |
