Fiancé Visa — Frequently Asked Questions

What are the requirements for a K-1 visa? +

The petitioner must be a U.S. citizen. Both parties must be legally free to marry. You must have met in person within the 2 years before filing (with limited exceptions). You must intend to marry within 90 days of the fiancé’s entry.

What happens if we don’t marry within 90 days? +

The K-1 visa is nonimmigrant and expires. Your fiancé would need to leave the U.S. A new petition would be required. It is critical to plan your marriage well within the 90-day window.

Can my fiancé work while waiting to adjust status? +

Your fiancé may apply for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) after marriage and while the green card application is pending.

How long does the whole process take? +

From filing the I-129F petition to your fiancé receiving the visa typically takes 6–12 months. After marriage and filing for adjustment of status, the green card process takes additional time depending on current USCIS processing times.
