1. What is the K1 Visa?

 

The K1 visa (also called the fiancé visa) is a special visa which allows the fiancé of a U.S. citizen to enter the United States, marry their U.S. citizen fiancé, and adjust status in the United States to get their green card.

 

To get a K1 visa, your U.S. citizen fiancé must file a Form I-129f on your behalf in addition to other steps discussed below. Your U.S. citizen fiancé is the petitioner (person filing the petition) and you (the person getting the K1 visa) are the beneficiary (person benefiting from the petition).

 

Getting a K1 visa based on your engagement to a US citizen can be a complicated process. You must meet specific eligibility requirements and you must follow precise steps. If you fail to file paperwork correctly or you fail to complete the necessary steps then your case may face huge delays, or even worse, be denied.

 

2. What are the Benefits of a K1 Visa?

 

There are several benefits to getting a K-1 Visa. Here are just a few:

 

Eligibility to Adjust Status in the United States

 

One of the main benefits of a K1 visa is that it allows you to enter the U.S. for the purpose of marrying your U.S. citizen fiancé. In fact, one of the requirements of the K1 visa is that both the parties must have the intent to marry each other within 90 days of the K1 visa beneficiary’s entry to the U.S. If you get married to each other within 90 days of your entry to the U.S., you can apply for an adjustment of status to get your green card. An adjustment of status is the process of becoming a lawful permanent resident (U.S. green card holder) while inside of the U.S. The entire adjustment of status is done within the United States, without the need for the K1 visa beneficiary to leave the country for a visa interview.

 

Ability to Apply for Work Authorization

 

Another benefit of a K1 visa is that it allows you to apply for work authorization immediately upon entering the United States on your K1 visa. You may apply for work authorization once you have been admitted into the U.S. on a K1 visa by filing a Form I-765 (Application for Employment Authorization). If you apply for work authorization before getting married to your U.S. citizen fiancé, then the work authorization will expire 90 days after your admission to the U.S.

 

In addition to applying for work authorization upon entering the U.S. you also may be eligible to apply for work authorization when you apply for your adjustment of status (after marriage to your U.S. citizen spouse).

 

Immigration Benefits for Your Children

 

Another benefit of the K1 visa is that it may provide immigration benefits for your children. If you child is unmarried and under the age of 21 years old, they may qualify for a K2 visa to accompany you to the United States. Once you marry your U.S. citizen fiancé, your unmarried children that are in the U.S. on their K2 visa may apply for an adjustment of status to get their green card as well.

 

Avoid Filing the Form I-130

 

Usually, to get a marriage based green card, your spouse is required to file a Form I-130 “Petition for Alien Relative” on your behalf. With a K1 fiancé visa, you can avoid the I-130 process and apply directly for the adjustment of status (Form I-485) upon entry to the U.S. and marriage to your U.S. citizen fiancé.

 

3. K1 Visa Requirements

 

Petitioner Must be a U.S. Citizen  

 

In order to qualify for a K1 visa, the petitioner (your fiancé) must be a U.S. citizen. U.S. lawful permanent residents (green card holders) are not eligible act as the petitioner for a K1 visa application.

 

Both Parties Must be Free to Marry

 

To qualify for a K1 visa, both parties must be legally free to marry. This means that all prior marriages (if applicable) must be terminated.

 

Intent to Get Married within 90 Days

 

To qualify for a K1 visa, both parties must intend to get married to each other within 90 days of the K1 visa beneficiary’s admission to the U.S. As part of the initial petition for a K1 visa, The U.S. citizen petitioner must submit clear evidence demonstrating both parties’ intent to get married.

 

Physical Meeting Requirement

 

To qualify for a K1 visa, you must prove that you and your fiancé met in person within the two-years prior to filing the initial petition for a K1 visa. This requirement was put in place to deter situations involving “mail-order brides.”

 

There are 2 exceptions to the physical meeting requirement:

 

Established Custom Exception

 

One exception to the physical meeting requirement is if meeting each other in person would violate strict and long-standing customs of the K1 visa beneficiary’s culture or social practice. If you plan to rely on this exception, you should present evidence supporting the existence of these customs (such as letters from religious officials). You should also provide evidence from family members and friends attesting to the fact that you are complying with these customs.

 

Extreme Hardship Exception

 

Another exception to the physical meeting requirement is if there is some type of extreme hardship preventing the parties from complying with the physical meeting requirement. Some examples of extreme hardships include political conditions preventing travel to the fiancé’s home country, issues preventing the prospective k1 visa beneficiary from leaving their home country and traveling to the U.S., financial difficulties, or medical issues that have affected either parties’ ability to travel. If you plan to rely on this exception, you should be prepared to provide evidence proving the basis of your extreme hardship.

 

 

4. K1 Visa Process

 

Getting a K1 fiancé visa is a multi-step process. Here is a quick outline of the process followed by a more detailed explanation:

 

  • Satisfy K1 Visa Requirements
  • U. S. Citizen Petitioner Files Form 1-129f
  • File Form DS-160
  • K1 Visa Interview
  • Enter the U.S. on K1 Visa (Inspection at Port of Entry)
  • Marriage
  • Adjustment of Status
  • Adjustment of Status Interview

 

Satisfy K1 visa requirements

 

The first step in the K1 visa process is to make sure you satisfy the K1 visa requirements. Two requirements that you should pay particular attention to are the listed below:

 

  • End to prior marriages: You and your fiancé must be legally eligible for marriage, or in other words if you or your fiancé(e) had been married before, your previous marriage must be officially terminated.

 

  • Physical Meeting: Within two years of filing the Form I-129f, you and your fiancé must have met in person at least once. If you cannot satisfy this requirement, make sure that you fall in to one of the exceptions described above.

 

U.S. Citizen Petitioner Files Form I-129f

 

The next step in the K1 visa process is for the U.S. citizen petitioner to file the Form I-129F with USCIS. The I-129F, or the “Petition for Alien Fiancé(e)”, is the first form that is filed with the United States Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS).

 

The Form I-129f is filed along with several evidentiary documents including proof that you intend to marry your fiancé within 90 days of your arrival into the U.S. and proof that you have met your fiancé within the last two years of filing.

 

Essentially, the Form I-12fF proves that you satisfy the K1 visa requirements.

 

File Form DS-160

 

After the U.S. citizen petitioner files the Form I-129f, USCIS will review the form for approval. Once USCIS approves the Form I-129F, the next step is for the K1 visa beneficiary to file a Form DS-160 with the Department of State. The DS-160 is the Application for Non-Immigrant Visa.

 

K1 Visa Interview

 

The next step is for the K1 visa beneficiary to attend a K1 visa interview at a U.S. consulate or embassy in their home country.

 

At the interview, you must bring all required forms and documents and answer various questions concerning yourself, your U.S. citizen fiancé, and your relationship with your U.S. citizen fiancé.  For more information on what forms and documents you must bring and the types of questions you will have to answer at your interview, see below.

 

Enter the U.S. on K1 Visa (Inspection at Port of Entry)

 

After you successfully complete your K1 visa interview, you should receive a valid K1 visa to seek entry to the U.S. Once you receive your K1 visa, the next step is to seek entry to the United States. At the Port of Entry (POE) you will likely be questioned by Customs and Border Protection regarding the purpose of your entry to the United States.

 

Marriage

 

After you have been admitted to the U.S. with your K1 visa, the next step is to marry your U.S. citizen fiancé. You must marry your U.S. citizen fiancé within 90 days of your arrival into the U.S.

 

Adjustment of Status

 

Assuming you and your U.S. citizen fiancé got married within 90 days of your entry to the U.S. the next step is to apply for an adjustment of status. An adjustment of status is the process of going from non-immigrant status to permanent resident status (green card). To do this, you are required to file a Form I-485 with USCIS. The Form I-485 is “Application to Register Permanent residence or Adjust Status.” The adjustment of status process is handled entirely in the U.S.

 

Here are Some of the Requirements for doing an Adjustment of Status:

 

  • You must have entered the United States legally

 

  • You are physically present in the United States at the time the Form I-485 is filed

 

  • You cannot be inadmissible for immigration. There are 10 categories of reasons why someone may be inadmissible to the United States (based on criminal convictions, health-related issues, etc.). You cannot fall within any of these categories.

 

Adjustment of Status Interview

 

Several months after applying for your adjustment of status (Form I-485), you may be required to attend an adjustment of status interview. At the adjustment of status interview, a USCIS officer in charge of your case will ask various questions to determine whether your marriage is bona-fide and not just entered into for immigration benefits.

 

 

5. K1 Visa Processing Time

 

The overall time it will take for your K1 visa to process will depend on many factors, including current USICS processing times as well as how busy the consulate or embassy is that will be handling your K1 visa interview. To check current USCIS processing times you may check the USCIS case process time resource. You may also email me directly at Michael@AshooriLaw.com.

 

 

6. What are the Documents Required to get a K1 Visa?

 

There are many documents that you may need to include with your petition for a K1 visa. The required documents will vary depending on your particular situation and the evidence that you have available.

 

If you will be submitting documents that are written in a foreign language, you should include certified English translations of these documents.

 

Below is a general list of some of the documents that may be required at the Form I-129f stage. Please keep in mind that this is a general list. You should review your case with an experienced immigration lawyer prior to determining the specific documents that you should include with your petition.

 

Required Documentation When Filing Form I-129f

 

  • Unexpired passport of U.S. citizen petitioner to show evidence of U.S. citizenship

 

  • Final divorce decrees and any other evidence that you or your fiancé have legally terminated all previous marriages (if applicable)

 

  • Passport photos
  • Evidence of legal name change (if applicable)

 

  • Photo of you and your fiancé together

 

  • Flight tickets, itinerary, and passport stamps showing travel to see fiancé

 

  • A signed statement from the K1 visa beneficiary and the U.S. citizen petitioner expressing each person’s intent to marry the other within 90 days of the K1 visa beneficiary’s entry to the U.S.

 

  • Phone call logs showing regular communication with each other

 

  • Text message threads showing regular communication with each other

 

  • Copies of letters exchanged between each other

 

  • Signed statements from friends and family attesting to the relationship between both parties.

 

7. K1 Visa Form

 

There are multiple forms that are required throughout the K1 visa process. Here is a quick overview of some of the forms:

 

Form I-129f: The Form I-129f is also called the “Petition for Alien Fiancé(e).” This is the initial form that is filed by the U.S. citizen petitioner with USCIS. This form is filed along with several documents establishing that the petitioner is a U.S. citizen, that both parties intend to get married within 90 days of the K1 visa beneficiary’s entry to the U.S. and that both parties have met within the last 2 years prior to filing the petition. You can learn more about the Form I-129f here.

 

Form I-765: The Form I-765 is also called the “Application for Employment Authorization.” This form can be filed at 2 separate times throughout the K1 visa process. You may file this form upon your entry to the U.S. on a K1 visa to get work authorization prior to marrying your U.S. citizen fiancé. You may also file this form at the adjustment of status stage. You can learn more about the Form I-765 by clicking here.

 

Form DS-160: The Form DS-160 is the Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application. You must complete this form and submit it online in order to apply for your K1 visa. You can learn more about the DS-160 by clicking here.

 

Form I-485: This form I-485 is the Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. This is the form that must be filed to go from non-immigrant status to permanent resident status (green card). This is the form that you file after you marry your U.S. citizen fiancé. You can learn more about the Form I-485 here.

 

Form G-28: The Form G-28 is the Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative. You must fill out and sign this form if you hire an attorney to help file the forms for your K1 visa. If you hire a U.S. immigration lawyer, you will likely be asked to sign the Form G-28; it will allow your attorney to submit applications/petitions on your behalf; represent you before USCIS; and send and receive correspondence with USCIS on your behalf. When you fill out the Form G-28, you can choose your preferences for receiving notices and secure documents from USCIS. You can learn more about the Form G-28 here.

We are considering a move from Canada to the USA, and have had two very helpful consultations with Client Managers at Ashoori Law. In both instances I left the conversation with far greater... comprehension of the process I would be engaging in. In the first instance, I spoke with Juan Robles about a TN Visa. The second consultation was with Aaron Scott about a Marriage Based Green Card. Both Client Managers were excellent listeners, and answered all of my questions with care and detail. At no time did I feel rushed or pressured. I find the entire immigration process overwhelming at times, but both conversations with these Client Managers left me feeling far more informed of the process and of the value of working with a lawyer. Thank you, Juan and Aaron. Much appreciated!read more

"I feel incredibly fortunate to have come across Ashoori Law, even though they are based on the opposite coast from me. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit and everything shut down, I needed to renew my... work visa, but I wasn't sure how to proceed. That's where Ashoori Law came in - they helped me and my company decide to switch to a permanent resident visa through work. Throughout the process, Michael was always available to answer questions and provide guidance. My designated lawyer, Lorianne, was also amazing - she did everything right and made me feel like part of the family. I never hesitated to reach out to them for help, and they always found the best solution. Michael even made recommendations during the early stages of the process. Currently, we're in the process of submitting form I-140, and as usual, they're handling everything very professionally. I can't thank them enough, and I would highly recommend Ashoori Law to anyone who needs immigration support."Just wanted to provide an update to my previous review.

I have a situation where I'm trying to get a medical "visitors" visa to the US for a neighbor's family member and I called 3 other immigration law firms (2 of whom I've worked with previously) to... find out if my neighbor's friend would even quality for a visa and all 3 firms wouldn't help me without a minimum payment of $200.00. I called Ashoori Law and the woman who answered the phone spent about 10 mins talking to me to help decide if a B1/B2 visitors visa would work for my neighbor's family member and the woman who helped me was professional, courteous, informative and allowed me to ask questions. It turns out, the family member won't be able to benefit from the visa but in my job, I have to use immigration law firms and I know now who I will be giving my business to. Thank you!read more

Thank you Ashoori Law for taking up our E2 case and going over all the details and requirements in a very organized and professional manner. Cristina Casabiance, who was our lawyer assigned to our... case, truly did an amazing job in making sure a solid case was prepared. From the time of inception of the business to guiding us on how to structure our positions in the company, and the necessary paperwork to defend every scenario, I really felt confident attending our visa interview, which was a success with 5 year visa. Thank you once again, and I would highly recommend Ashoori Law for their services and the professionalism they treat their clients.read more
