The K-1 visa, also known as the fiance visa, is a nonimmigrant visa that allows U.S. citizens to bring their foreign fiance(e) to the United States for the purpose of getting married. Once the marriage takes place, the foreign fiance(e) can apply for permanent residency and eventually become a U.S. citizen. The K-1 visa is a popular option for couples who want to get married in the United States but live abroad.

Who is eligible to apply for a K-1 visa or fiance visa?

If you’re a U.S. citizen planning to marry someone from another country, you may be eligible to bring your fiancé(e) to the United States on a K1 visa, also known as a Fiancé Visa. This visa allows your fiancé(e) to enter the U.S. and stay for a limited period, usually 90 days, during which you must get married. However, if you plan to get married outside the United States, a K1 visa may not be necessary.

At Qazi Law Offices, we understand the complexities of immigration law and have helped many couples successfully obtain K1 visas. Our experienced immigration lawyer and legal team in the U.S. will guide you through the application process and provide expert advice to ensure the best possible outcome.
