K-1 (Fiancé/ee Visa)

The K-1 fiance visa allows a U.S. citizen to bring his or her foreign fiancé/ee to the U.S. to get married and obtain a green card (adjust status). We have helped many people from around the world re-unite using the K-1 fiance visa. Call or email with any questions you have. We are always happy to let you speak directly with a fiance visa lawyer.

K-1 Visa Eligibility

The fiancé must marry the U.S. citizen that filed for the K-1 fiance visa within 90 days of entry to the U.S. The couple must have met in person within the two years prior to filing. There must be no legal reason that the marriage should not take place, for example, one of the persons is still married to someone else, or the persons are too young.  The foreign fiancé/ee must have no criminal, health, or other issues that would prevent them from getting U.S. immigration benefits.

Children of a K-1 Visa holder

Minor children of the foreign fiancé/ee may accompany them and are issued a K-2 visa.

Employment Authorization

K-1 fiance visa holders and K-2 minor children are authorized to work after entry to the U.S. Employment authorization may be applied for prior to the marriage or at the same time as the green card application (adjustment of status).
