SUMMARY OF PROCESS

FOR THE K-1 FIANCÉ/FIANCÉE PROGRAM

A

K-1 visa

allows a United States citizen to bring a fiancé or fiancée to the United States for the purpose of marriage

and becoming a lawful permanent resident. The

5-step

process involves

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services

(USCIS) , the U.S.

Department of State

(DOS) and

U.S. Customs and Border Protection

(CBP) . (i) indicates an informational item.

The U.S. citizen (the petitioner)

files

Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e)

, with USCIS. The petitioner must show that both parties are free to marry and intend to marry within 90 days of the foreign national"s

admission to the United States as a K-1 nonimmigrant. Generally, the U.S. citizen and the fiancé or fiancée must

have met each other in person during the 2 years before filing the petition. For more details, see uscis.gov/i-129f

USCIS performs background checks*

on both individuals as part of the Form I-129F adjudication.

DOS notifies the U.S. citizen petitioner

when it is time for the foreign fiancé or fiancée to apply for the K-1 visa.

DOS conducts background checks

, including fingerprint checks, on the K-1 visa applicant (the foreign fiancé or fiancée). The visa applicant must bring documents to the visa interview including proof of the relationship and proof of medical examination. If a DOS consular o?icer finds that the applicant is a bona fide fiancé or fiancée eligible for the visa, and is not inadmissible or otherwise ineligible for the visa, DOS will issue a visa that is valid for no more than

6 months

and a single entry into the United States — meaning the fiancé or fiancée has no more than

6 months

to travel to the United States and seek admission.

As with any visa, the K-1 nonimmigrant visa simply allows an individual to travel to the United States to

seek admission at a port of entry. Having a K-1 visa does not guarantee admission. To obtain lawful permanent residence a?er the marriage, the foreign national spouse must apply to USCIS for

Adjustment of Status

.Admission on a K-1 visa is conditioned on marrying the same U.S. citizen petitioner within those 90 days. This

period cannot be extended and a K-1 visa holder, with limited exception, cannot change to a di?erent

nonimmigrant classification without first leaving the United States to obtain the di?erent classification. Inspection by CBP to make an admissibility decision at the port of entry includes all necessary systems queries,

to include the collection of biometrics, and an interview. If CBP admits the K-1 visa holder, the period of admission is 90 days. Once married, the foreign national spouse should file

Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent

Residence or Adjust Status

, as soon as possible. For more details, see uscis.gov/i-485 If lawful permanent residence is granted before the second anniversary of the marriage, the foreign spouse will

be given 2-year conditional permanent resident status and a Green Card* valid for 2 years. (If permanent

residence is not granted until a?er the second anniversary of the marriage, the applicant will be given lawful

permanent resident status without conditions and a Green Card valid for 10 years.) In processing Form I-485, USCIS conducts background checks on both spouses, including fingerprint checks on

the foreign spouse, and may interview both spouses. A conditional permanent resident must petition to remove conditions on his or her status within

90 days

prior to the end of his or her conditional resident status. A conditional Permanent Resident Card cannot be renewed The conditions must be removed, or the conditional permanent resident will lose lawful permanent resident status and be subject to removal from the United States. During the process of removing conditions, USCIS determines if the marriage is bona fide and again conducts background and fingerprint checks

on the conditional permanent resident, and may interview both spouses.To remove conditions, a conditional permanent resident files Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, jointly with the U.S. citizen spouse, unless a waiver to the joint filing requirement applies. For details

and exceptions, see uscis.gov/i-751.

uscis.govIf USCIS approves the Form I-129F, the approval means that USCIS recognizes there is an intended marriage.

USCIS will notify the petitioner and send the

approved petition to the Department of State"s National Visa Center (NVC). An approval does not give the foreign national permission to travel to the U.S. and does not guarantee that the Department of State will issue the K-1 visa. *Background checks include checks of criminal, national security and other information.

In the interest of public safety and national security, this document omits operational details of specific background checks.

A UNITED STATES CITIZEN ASKS USCIS TO

RECOGNIZE THE CITIZEN"S FOREIGN FIANCÉ OR FIANCÉE. THE NVC ISSUES THE FOREIGN FIANCÉ OR FIANCÉE A CASE NUMBER AND SENDS THE PETITION TO THE EMBASSY OR CONSULATE WHERE THE FOREIGN FIANCÉ OR FIANCÉE WILL APPLY FOR THE K-1 VISA. THE K-1 NONIMMIGRANT VISA HOLDER TRAVELS TO THE UNITED STATES AND SEEKS ADMISSION BY CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION (CBP).

THE FOREIGN SPOUSE APPLIES

TO USCIS FOR ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS TO LAWFUL PERMANENT RESIDENT. THE CONDITIONAL PERMANENT RESIDENT PETITIONS USCIS FOR REMOVAL OF CONDITIONS ON HIS OR HER RESIDENCY. 1 2 3 4 5 *Form I-551, Permanent Resident Card, is commonly known as a "Green Card."quotesdbs_dbs46.pdfusesText_46
