So, you've found your soulmate and they're from another country? Congratulations! The K-1 visa, also known as the fiancé(e) visa, is your golden ticket to building a life together in the United States. But navigating the application process can feel daunting. Don't worry, we've got you covered!
This guide will provide a brief overview. First, the US citizen must file Form I-129F (Petition for Alien Fiancé(e)) with USCIS. Once approved, the application goes to the National Visa Center (NVC) and then the US Embassy in your fiancé(e)'s country. Your fiancé(e) will then need to attend an interview.
Key requirements include demonstrating a bona fide relationship (proof you've met in person within the last two years, and intend to marry within 90 days of your fiancé(e)'s arrival in the US), and meeting certain financial requirements. Gather all required documentation meticulously! Remember, thorough preparation is key to a smooth and successful K-1 visa journey. Best of luck!
