If you are a U.S. citizen and want to bring your foreign national fiancé to the United States to marry and apply for a green card, then a fiancé visa is the best option for you.

A fiancé visa is sometimes referred to as a “K-1 visa” or “non-immigrant visa.” It allows the foreign fiancé of a US citizen to enter the United States for the sole purpose of getting married. These types of visas are often considered the quickest way to legally bring a foreign fiancé to the U.S. with the intentions of marriage and immigration. Children under the age of 21 of your fiancé can also obtain a K visa through the same application.

There are several requirements to petition for a K-1 fiancé visa:

• You must be a United States citizen
• You and your fiancé must be legally free to marry
• You must meet the federal poverty guidelines minimum financial requirements to show that you can financially support your fiancé after marriage
• Your fiancé must be admissible (have a clean criminal record, never been deported etc)
