Fiancée and Marriage

Unite Your Love with a K-1 Fiancée Visa

Start Your U.S. Journey Together

Welcome to the Law Offices of Chris M. Ingram! We’re thrilled to dive into Part 2 of our Fiancé(e) Visa and Marriage Green Card series, focusing on the K-1 Fiancée Visa. Discover what it is, how it works, and how we’ll guide you to a stress-free process.

K-1 Visa: Your Path to Marriage

The K-1 visa lets your foreign fiancé(e) enter the U.S. to marry you, with one key condition: the wedding must happen within 90 days of arrival. This rule ensures timely commitment, preventing indefinite fiancé(e) status and keeping your plans on track.

Plan Ahead for a Smooth Process

K-1 visa processing typically takes 6-9 months, but peak seasons can extend timelines. Start early to avoid delays, especially since family members traveling from abroad for your wedding can’t easily adjust plans. Our experienced team has helped countless couples navigate these challenges, ensuring your big day aligns with your visa approval.

Overcome Rigorous Scrutiny

High application volumes and seasonal fluctuations contribute to processing times. U.S. Immigration’s strict fraud detection—fueled by concerns over online dating or mail-order bride scams—includes thorough background checks to confirm genuine, love-based relationships. We’ll help you present compelling evidence to prove your bond is authentic.

Meet Essential Requirements

Your fiancé(e) must clear:

  • Background Checks: Ensuring no criminal history that disqualifies them.

  • Previous Marriages: Verifying all prior marriages are legally dissolved.

  • Medical Examination: Confirming no communicable diseases that pose public health risks.

These steps ensure your fiancé(e) is ready to settle permanently in the U.S. after marriage.

Trust Our Expertise for Success

A poorly prepared case can raise red flags, even for genuine relationships. Our skilled attorneys craft a robust K-1 application with precise documentation, minimizing scrutiny and maximizing approval chances. Focus on your love story while we handle the complexities.
