If you’re planning to marry your partner and build your life together in Glendale, Los Angeles, or elsewhere in Southern California, we’ll help you move from the K-1 petition to the green card process with confidence.
What Is the K-1 Fiance Visa
The K-1 visa allows a U.S. citizen’s fiancé(e) to enter the United States for marriage. Once they arrive, the couple must marry within 90 days. After marriage, the foreign spouse can apply for a green card through adjustment of status.
This option helps couples avoid long separations by allowing them to marry in the U.S. and complete the immigration process together. We help you decide if the K-1 visa is the right path for your situation.
Basic Requirements for K-1 Fiance Visas
To qualify, the petitioner must be a U.S. citizen. Both partners must be legally free to marry, and in most cases, must have met in person within the last two years.
You’ll also need to show that your relationship is genuine and that you plan to marry within 90 days. We help you gather and organize the right evidence to support your case.
Step One Form I 129F Petition for Alien Fiance
Petition Filing
The process begins with Form I-129F, where you show proof of your relationship and intent to marry. We prepare your petition carefully to help avoid delays.
Consular Processing
After approval, the case moves to the embassy or consulate. Your fiancé(e) completes forms, medical exams, and gathers required documents. We guide you through each step.
Visa Interview
Your fiancé(e) attends an interview where a consular officer reviews the case and asks about your relationship. We help you prepare so you feel confident and ready.
After Arrival in the U.S.
Once your fiancé(e) enters the U.S., you must marry within 90 days. After marriage, you can apply for a green card through adjustment of status.
We assist with preparing and filing the application, including work and travel permits while your case is pending.
Conditional Green Card & Next Steps
If your marriage is less than two years old, the green card will be conditional. Before it expires, you’ll need to file to remove conditions and receive a permanent green card.
We continue to support you through this stage to ensure everything is properly handled.
