Fiancé and Marriage-Based Visa Options
For U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents seeking to bring a fiancé or spouse to the United States, the immigration process may involve several visa categories, including:
- K-1 fiancé visa – Allows a foreign fiancé of a U.S. citizen to enter the United States for 90 days for the purpose of marriage
- K-2 visa – Allows unmarried children of a K-1 visa holder to accompany them to the United States
- Work authorization – May be available to eligible applicants after entry into the United States
The fiancé visa process typically begins with Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e), and requires substantial documentation to establish the legitimacy of the relationship.
Bringing a Spouse to the United States
In certain cases, spouses of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents may qualify for a K-3 visa, which allows entry into the United States while a pending immigrant petition is being processed. Eligible dependent children may qualify for a K-4 visa.
These visa categories are intended to reduce separation time while longer-term immigrant visa processing is completed.
Permanent Residency for Spouses
Spouses of U.S. citizens and green card holders may also pursue lawful permanent resident status through family-based immigration. This process may ultimately lead to a green card, allowing the spouse to live and work permanently in the United States.
Legal Assistance for Family Immigration
Fiancé and marriage-based immigration cases require careful preparation and strong supporting evidence to demonstrate a bona fide relationship. Prior immigration violations, criminal history, or documentation issues can further complicate the process.
Keen Law Offices, LLC assists clients in preparing petitions, responding to government requests, and navigating the immigration process from start to finish.
