You must sign your K1 application form and submit your filing fee. Currently the initial filing fee for the K1 application form is $535.00 You will have another fee of $265 later in the process. The filing fees are non-refundable.

Next Steps

The K1 application form and supporting evidence will get your k1 fiance visa case started. If all goes well your case will make it through the USCIS stage and on to the NVC stage and finally onto the embassy/consulate stage. If there are problems with your paperwork you should receive a Request For Evidence (RFE) from USCIS explaining the problem and giving you time to provide evidence to correct the problem. An RFE will delay your case.

You will have more paperwork to complete at the next stages of your case.
