While U.S. citizens are able to petition for a K-1 visa for their fiancée abroad, lawful permanent residents are not. In addition, there are exceptions regarding U.S. citizens filing for a petition. Such exceptions include applicants who have committed serious crimes, those likely to be a financial burden, illegal immigrants, those with serious mental illness that may be dangerous, and drug addicts.
