Below is a short youtube video that describes how to get your Fiancee Visa
-
A K-1 visa is a United States nonimmigrant visa benefiting fiancees and fianceees of US citizen petitioners. The
Application is made by the petitioner in the US on a USCIS form I-129F filed by mail at a USCIS Regional Center.
The Applicant must provide detailed information and supporting documentation to establish that both parties are
legally free to marry, have met each other, intend to marry, do not have disqualifying criminal histories
(so-called crimes of moral turpitude), and proof of identity and citizenship. Recent changes to the Law also
limit the number of petitions a Petitioner can make, and the Petitioner must not have a criminal history of
sexual or partner abuse. Other recent changes in the Law also severely limit the role of marriage agencies
in the introductions, and any involvement must be disclosed.
Expert Tip # 12
Don't violate the terms of the Fiancee Visa. Sometimes after the Fiancee Visa is granted, couples think to marry twice, once immediately among her family and friends in her country, and then a second time later with his family and friends in the U.S. They plan to "game" the visa process by only reporting the second marriage on the Adjustment of Status. This is a bad idea. When entering the U.S. the Immigration officer will ask her "Are you single?". If the Fiancee admits she is in fact already married to the Sponsor, she will be refused entry to the U.S. and sent back. The application process would need to be started completely over this time with the Husband now petitioning for a Spousal Visa. Enjoy an informal engagement party with her family and friends, but never enter what would be considered a legal marriage before she enters the U.S. Only as a single woman may she travel to the U.S. in compliance with the terms of her Fiancee Visa.
