K-1 Visa Age Requirements

Thinking of bringing your foreign fiancé(e) to the US to get married? Here's a quick guide on K-1 visa age requirements:

  • You (the US citizen) can be any age.

  • Your fiancé(e) must be at least 18 years old.

Both of you must be legally able to marry where the wedding will be and plan to marry within 90 days of their arrival in the US.

K-1 Visa Basics:

  • Designed for couples getting married in the US (within 90 days of entry).

  • Allows your fiancé(e) a temporary stay to get married.

  • After marriage, they can apply for a green card to stay permanently.

Under 18?

You might not be eligible for a K-1 visa if either of you is under 18. USCIS might also ask for proof of your relationship being real (e.g., wanting to marry and live together in the US).
