As a U.S. citizen, if your fiancé(e) or spouse is a foreign national, there are several legal ways to bring them to the United States through a temporary immigrant visa. It’s important to consult an experienced immigration attorney to determine which option best suits your family. Depending on whether your marriage occurs abroad or in the U.S., you may need to petition the USCIS using a K-1 or K-3 visa application.
Call us today for a free K-1 Visa case review at 323-805-0445.
Our attorneys have guided thousands of couples through the K-1 visa process with outstanding success. Learn how we can help below.
The K-1 visa allows a foreign citizen fiancé(e) to enter the U.S. and marry their U.S. citizen partner within 90 days of arrival. After marriage, the immigrant spouse may apply for a green card through marriage.
USCIS released a revised version of Form I-129F effective May 1, 2025, featuring updated formatting and submission rules aimed at reducing errors and streamlining digital filing.
The sponsor’s income must meet or exceed 100% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines — $21,150 for a 2-person household in the continental U.S. (higher for Alaska and Hawaii). Active-duty military sponsors must meet 125%. If income falls short, a joint sponsor may help.
A complete and well-organized submission helps prevent delays and strengthens your case for approval.
After marriage, your spouse can apply for a Marriage-Based Green Card. We can help with that process as well.
Filing a K-1 visa can be complicated, but our experienced immigration attorneys make the process smooth and error-free. We help couples gather required documents, meet deadlines, and prepare for interviews — maximizing your approval chances.
