  • Purpose: Establish the relationship and eligibility.

    • Proof of U.S. citizenship (passport, birth certificate, or naturalization certificate).
    • Evidence of relationship (photos, communication records, travel receipts).
    • Statements of intent to marry.
  • File the petition with USCIS.

3. USCIS Approval

  • USCIS reviews the petition, processes it (typically 6–12 months), and sends an approval notice (NOA2).
  • The case is forwarded to the National Visa Center (NVC) for further processing.

4. Consular Processing

  • The NVC forwards the case to the U.S. embassy or consulate in the fiancé(e)’s country.
  • The fiancé(e) completes the following:
    1. Pay visa fees.
    2. Submit Form DS-160 (Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application).

5. Enter the United States

  • The K-1 visa is typically valid for six months, allowing one entry.
  • The fiancé(e) must marry the U.S. citizen within 90 days of arrival.

6. Adjust Status

  • After marriage, the fiancé(e) applies for a green card by filing Form I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status).
