At dtbinmigrante.org, we help you navigate the K-1 visa process, allowing your foreign fiance to come to the U.S. for marriage. This is the first step towards your life together in this country.

What is a Fiancee Visa (K-1)?

The K-1 visa is a temporary visa allowing your foreign fiance to enter the U.S. to marry you, a U.S. citizen. After marriage, your spouse can apply for adjustment of status to obtain a Green Card and reside permanently.

To qualify for a K-1 visa, you must meet these requirements:

• U.S. Citizenship: Only U.S. citizens can sponsor a K-1 visa.
• Intent to Marry: Both must intend to marry within 90 days of your fiance's arrival.
• Personal Meeting: You must have met in person at least once in the last 2 years (unless exempted for cultural or religious reasons).
• Legal Eligibility: Both must be single and legally able to marry.

K-1 Visa Process in 2025
