25 Jun Fiancé visa application

Filing a fiancé visa (K-1 visa) requires the U.S. citizen petitioner to file Form I-129F with USCIS. To qualify, the couple must have met in person within the past 2 years, both must be legally free to marry, and you must intend to officially wed within 90 days of your fiancé(e)’s U.S. entry.

The Eligibility Requirements for Fiance visa are:

• U.S. Citizenship: The petitioner must be a U.S. citizen (Green Card holders cannot sponsor a fiancé).
• Legal Freedom to Marry: Both individuals must be single and legally able to marry. Any prior marriages for both partners must be legally terminated via divorce, annulment, or death.
• In-Person Meeting: You must have physically met in person at least once within the two years prior to filing. Exceptions are strictly granted only for extreme hardship or cultural/religious traditions that prohibit meeting before marriage.
• Intent to Marry: You must both intend to marry each other within 90 days of the foreign fiancé(e) entering the United States.

The following are the Required Documentation:

When submitting the Form I-129F, the U.S. citizen must provide:

• Proof of Citizenship: A U.S. birth certificate, naturalization certificate, or valid U.S. passport.
• Evidence of Relationship: Photos of you together, correspondence records (texts, emails), and proof of shared travel.
• Meeting Requirement Proof: Travel itineraries, flight tickets, or hotel receipts showing you met face-to-face.
• Sworn Statements: Signed and dated statements from both you and your fiancé(e) detailing your intent to marry.
• Passport-Style Photos: Color photos of both the petitioner and the beneficiary.
• Prior Marriage Documents: Divorce or death certificates from any previous marriages.
  Once the initial petition is approved by USCIS, the foreign fiancé(e) must complete the overseas process, which typically includes:
• Filing Form DS-160 (Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application).
• Undergoing a medical exam.
• Providing police certificates from every country lived in for more than 6 months since age 16.
• Submitting an Affidavit of Support (Form I-134) showing the U.S. citizen meets minimum income requirements (typically 125% of the federal poverty guidelines).
• Attending an in-person interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate.

Note: This is not legal advice.
