Understanding the K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa
The K-1 visa, also known as the fiancé(e) visa, helps couples planning to get married in the US. Here's a quick rundown of what you need to know:
Single Entry Visa: You get one entry to the US within six months of issuance.
90 Days to Get Married: Once you enter, you have 90 days to tie the knot with your U.S. citizen fiancé(e).
Green Card Path After Marriage: After the wedding, you can apply for a green card (permanent resident status) by filing Form I-485 with USCIS.
Important Reminders:
No Extensions: The K-1 visa cannot be extended beyond six months.
Departure Expected if Not Married: If you don't get married within 90 days or don't apply for a green card, you'll generally need to leave the US at the end of your authorized stay.
