What is the K-1 Visa Process?
A couple must first obtain a K-1 visa from the USCIS. Once the K-1 visa is obtained, the foreign national fiancé(e) will be required to appear for an interview at the U.S. consulate where the foreign national resides. At the interview, the foreign national will need to demonstrate eligibility for the visa. If successful, the foreign national will be granted an entry permit into the United States. Once an entry permit is granted, the foreign national will be able to enter the United States and marry the U.S. citizen. The marriage must occur within 90 days of entering the United States.
