Know More About Fiance Visa

Can foreign-born children be included in a fiance visa? If so, what is the eligibility and procedure?

The K-2 visa allows the inclusion of foreign-born children of a K-1 visa applicant to enter the USA. The children can apply for a green card later through the Adjustment of Status process. The eligibility criteria for foreign-born children to be included in the K-2 application are as follows:

  • The child/children’s parent must be a K-1 visa holder.
  • The child must be below the age of 21 and unmarried.
  • The child/children may travel along with their parents or at a later stage.
  • The child/children cannot travel to the US before their parents.

Is it mandatory to marry within 90 days of my fiance’s arrival? What happens otherwise?

The K-1 visa validity requires you to marry within 90 days of your foreign fiance’s arrival in the US. In the case of unexpected circumstances, kindly consult your immigration attorney to determine the next possible options. Also, bear in mind that your fiance’s visa will expire, and they may be required to leave the USA if your marriage doesn’t occur within the stipulated time.

Should K-1 applicants submit evidence of a wedding plan?

Although K-1 applicants needn’t submit evidence of wedding plans, it is mandatory to prove your intention to marry within the stipulated 90-day period of your fiance’s arrival. A genuine relationship and evidence of consistent communication with your fiance are proof enough.
