What is a K-1 Visa?
The K-1 visa, commonly known as the fiancé(e) visa, is a nonimmigrant visa that allows the foreign-citizen fiancé(e) of a U.S. citizen to travel to the United States. Once here, the couple must marry within 90 days of the fiancé(e)’s arrival. After the marriage, the foreign-citizen spouse can then apply for adjustment of status to become a lawful permanent resident.
The K-1 Visa Application Process Step-by-Step
Understanding the process is the first step toward a successful application. Our experienced attorneys guide you through each phase.
- Step 1: Filing the Petition (Form I-129F): The U.S. citizen petitioner begins by filing Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e), with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This petition must include evidence that you have a bona fide relationship and have met in person at least once in the two years prior to filing (unless a waiver is granted).
- Step 2: National Visa Center (NVC) Processing: Once USCIS approves the petition, the case is transferred to the Department of State’s National Visa Center (NVC). The NVC processes the case and forwards it to the U.S. embassy or consulate in your fiancé(e)’s home country.
- Step 3: Consular Interview: Your fiancé(e) will be required to complete a medical examination and attend a visa interview at the U.S. embassy or consulate. The consular officer will review the case to confirm eligibility and ensure the relationship is genuine.
- Step 4: Visa Issuance and Travel: If the interview is successful, your fiancé(e) will be issued the K-1 visa. They can then travel to the U.S. and must marry the U.S. citizen petitioner within 90 days.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my attorney, Brittni Rivera, for her professionalism and support during a very difficult time.

Brittni did not ignore this issue — she took action and successfully…
