K-1 Visa for Fiancé/Fiancée

If you wish to bring your fiancée into the United States to marry, you must file with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for a K-1 fiancé visa on his or her behalf for their lawful entry into the U.S. Children of the K-1 holder can also enter the U.S. with a K-2 visa.

The fiancée or fiancé must be a citizen of another country and physically outside the U.S. at the time of application. Marriage must take place within 90 days of their entering the United States. We assist in all documentation, including proving to USCIS that the impending marriage is not a fraudulent means to gain U.S. entry by a non-citizen. Upon approval, you can proceed to file a green card (permanent residency) application on behalf of your fiancée or fiancé.

K-3 Visa for Spouse

Any U.S. citizen who has married outside the United States can file a K-3 spouse visa to bring their new husband or wife lawfully into this country. If the marriage is determined to be valid by the USCIS and a spouse visa is granted, the spouse is automatically eligible for application for Permanent Resident status, and can file for a K-4 visa for any children to enter the U.S. Application for a K-3 visa must be made in the country where the marriage took place.

After three years of marriage, your foreign national spouse can apply for U.S. citizenship.

If your husband, wife fiancée, or fiancé is already in the United States, we can assist in filing a green card application for permanent residence with the appropriate United States Customs and Immigration Service (USCIS) office.
