Fiancée Visa Specific Info

1. What are the requirements for the Fiancée visa?

You must meet in person before you can file the petition.

You and your Fiancée must both be single.

If either of you have been previously married, you will need all filed final divorce decrees, death certificates or annulments.

The minimum income requirement is currently $18,212 for a family of two. If you are an Alaska resident, the minimum income is $22,762. If you are a Hawaii resident, it is $20.950.

If your income is less than the minimum requirement you will need to get a co-sponsor.

You will provide financial documentation as proof that you can support your intended wife and all members of your household.

You must have 10-15 photos of you with your Fiancée and, if possible, of you with her family.

You must have documented evidence of communication spanning your relationship. Best evidence: emails talking about your lives (about 30 pages) & telephone bills with her phone number on it. Copies of IM chats are a poor choice and not always accepted. Phone cards and video chats are not accepted as they are not documentable! LACK OF EVIDENCE CAN RESULT IN VISA DENIAL!

2. If my Fiancée has children, can they come to the US with her?

Your Fiancée's children under the age of 21 may accompany your Fiancée on an approved K-1 visa.

3. How much does it cost?

The USCIS filing fee for the K-1 petition is currently $455. There will also be fees associated with the Embassy interview totaling about $700. You will also be responsible for all travel expenses.

4. How long does it take?

Approval of the K-1 Fiancée petition is 6-12 months from the date of filing with USCIS, depending on country.

5. What happens after we file?

The petition is approved by the USCIS, the National Visa Center, and then it is sent to the US Embassy in the country in which your Fiancée is currently living. She will have her interview there.

Your Fiancée will have a medical exam prior to her Embassy interview.

Immediately prior to her Embassy interview your Fiancée will obtain a police clearance for every country where she has lived after the age of 16 for 6 months or longer.

You will provide your Fiancée with financial documents to hand-carry to her interview as proof that you can support your intended wife and all members of your household.

After her Embassy interview, your Fiancée will usually receive her visa within 14 business days.

Once the K-1 visa is granted, your Fiancée has 6 months to come to the USA.

Once in the US, your Fiancée has 90 days to marry you or is required to return to her country.

Once you are married your wife is required to file for a Marriage Green Card (Adjustment of Status) to obtain her residency status and avoid deportation.
