The U.S. government fully understands that it’s a win-win to have families together, so the K-1 visa (aka “Fiancé Visa”) was developed to do just that.  The K-1 visa allows your fiancé (or fiancée) to enter the U.S., get married, and apply for a green card.

The green card permits your spouse to live, work, and reenter the United States; and, while the green card grants permanent residence, later applying for U.S. citizenship is an option.

If you’re thinking of bringing your fiancé to the United States, this article was written for you.  We’ll provide:

• A checklist so you know exactly what steps you must take to obtain the K-1 visa.

 

• Our 5-part guarantee so you can feel comfortable getting help from a qualified immigration attorney if you want it.
