With 10 years of immigration law experience, we have sophisticated knowledge and experience in working through the complex bureaucracy to expedite processing of K1 visas. In fact, because of our thorough attention to detail before submitting a fiancée visa petition, we have never had one denied. After assembling your package, we can give you an estimated timeframe for approval. The entire process typically takes 4 to 6 months.

About the K1 Visa

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is sometimes suspicious of fiancée visas, guarding against those entering the U.S. under false pretenses. We gather the extensive documentation required to prove your legitimate petition:

• Citizenship — Only a U.S. citizen can obtain a K1 fiancée visa. Permanent residents (green card holders) can not qualify.
  
• Proof that you have met — You are no longer required to travel to your future spouse's home country. The USCIS now recognizes couples who met over the Internet, even if you have not physically met.
  
• Proof of relationship — You must show that you have known each other a period of typically three to four months, and prove to the USCIS that you are engaged and actually intend to wed.
  
• Valid passport and birth certificate 
  
• Employment history — Must go back five years for both parties.
  
• Six or more photographs of your fiancée.

Once your fiancée enters the U.S., you must meet them in person, and you must get married within 90 days. After marriage, we can help file for adjustment of status for your spouse to obtain permanent residency status. Your fiancée's unmarried children under the age of 21 may also enter the U.S. under an accompanying K2 visa petition.

We're Confident We Can Help

I have practiced extensively in family-based immigration, and understand how the wary bureaucrats of the USCIS work. Any discrepancy in your petition can result in delay or denial. We will not submit your application until we have verified your relationship with your fiancée and made sure we have all documents needed to the government's satisfaction. We will also be honest and upfront about any issues that may cause your petition to be denied — we don't want to waste your time and money.

Of course, we can not and do not guarantee approval of a fiancée visa. However, to show you how confident we are that we can help, we typically ask for only half of the fees up front, collecting the other half only after we submit your package and get receipt from the USCIS (usually 45 to 60 days after filing).
