American Fiancee Visa

The Fiancee Visa, or the K1 Visa, is issued to foreign fiancees of American citizens by an American embassy or consulate overseas. It allows for the fiancee of the American citizen to enter America for a period of 90 days, within which time the marriage must take place for the foreign partner to obtain permanent residency.

To qualify for a K1 Visa you must:

• Be the fiancee of an American citizen;
• Provide evidence the relationship is genuine and lasting; and
• Establish you and your partner have physically met in the 2 years before applying and are intent on getting married.

Once a person with K1 status enters America, they may go to their local USCIS office and immediately obtain a work permit card. Once the marriage is celebrated, the couple must apply for permanent residency with the USCIS and obtain a Spouse Visa.
