Quick Answer
How does the K-1 fiancé visa work?
A U.S. citizen files Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e), with USCIS. You must both be free to marry, intend to marry within 90 days of your fiancé(e)'s arrival, and generally have met in person within the 2 years before filing. After approval, the case goes to the National Visa Center and a U.S. embassy or consulate for the K-1 interview. Once in the U.S., you marry within 90 days and your spouse files Form I-485 to become a permanent resident. Clear Path Document Services prepares the forms and evidence packet; we are not attorneys.
