Understanding the K-1 Visa Process

The K-1 Visa, also known as the fiancé visa, allows a U.S. citizen to bring their foreign fiancé to the United States for the purpose of marriage. The process begins with filing a petition with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Once approved, the application is forwarded to the National Visa Center and then to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in the fiancé's home country. At Burgos Law, we ensure that each step is handled meticulously to avoid delays and complications.

Who Is Eligible for a K-1 Visa?

To qualify for a K-1 visa, several key requirements must be met:

• The petitioner must be a U.S. citizen (green card holders are not eligible to file).
• Both partners must be legally free to marry (not currently married to someone else).
• The couple must have met in person at least once within the last two years (with some exceptions).
• The couple must intend to marry within 90 days of the fiancé entering the U.S.
• The U.S. citizen petitioner must meet income requirements to financially support the fiancé.

If you’re unsure whether you or your fiancé qualify, our legal team at Burgos Law can assess your situation and provide clear guidance.

Timeline and Costs of the K-1 Visa

The timeline for obtaining a K-1 Visa can vary, typically ranging from 6 to 9 months. Factors such as application completeness and processing times at the embassy can affect this duration. The costs associated with a K-1 Visa include filing fees, medical examinations, and travel expenses. At Burgos Law, we provide a detailed breakdown of these costs and offer guidance on managing them effectively.

Preparing for the K-1 Visa Interview

The K-1 Visa interview is a crucial step in the application process. During the interview, the consular officer will ask questions to verify the authenticity of the relationship and the intent to marry. Common questions may include details about your relationship history, wedding plans, and personal backgrounds. Our team at Burgos Law offers comprehensive interview preparation to help you and your fiancé feel confident and well-prepared.

Common Issues and How to Avoid Them

Applicants often encounter challenges such as missing documentation, insufficient evidence of a genuine relationship, or misunderstandings during the interview. At Burgos Law, we proactively address these issues by ensuring all paperwork is complete and accurate, and by providing personalized advice on presenting your case effectively. Our goal is to minimize the risk of delays or denials, allowing you to focus on your future together.
