The K-1 fiancé visa lets a U.S. citizen bring a foreign partner to the United States to marry within 90 days. It is a three-stage process — the USCIS petition, the consular interview abroad and the green card application after the wedding — and each stage has its own requirements.
Our fiance visa attorneys help couples decide whether a K-1 or a spousal visa is the better fit, build a convincing petition and guide your fiancé(e) through the embassy interview and arrival in the U.S.
Situations we help with
Long-distance relationships
We document how you met and how your relationship developed across countries.
The in-person meeting requirement
Couples must have met within two years. We address exceptions for cultural or hardship reasons.
Fiancé(e) with children
Unmarried minor children can come on K-2 visas. We include them correctly from the start.
K-1 or marry abroad?
We compare timelines, costs and work authorization for both options.
Not sure if this applies to you?
A short conversation can tell you whether you qualify and what to do first. There's no cost for the first consultation.
