Traveling on a K-1 Visa

While your fiancé(e) can leave the U.S. on their K-1 visa, there are some key points to remember:

  • K-1 Visa Validity: This visa is for entering the U.S. to get married within 90 days. If they leave before the wedding, the visa needs to be valid for re-entry.

  • Marriage Intent: The K-1 visa is for couples planning to marry. When re-entering, your fiancé(e) should still intend to marry you within the allowed timeframe.

  • Travel Documents: Make sure your fiancé(e) has a valid passport and K-1 visa for both departure and re-entry to the U.S. They might be questioned by border officers upon arrival.

  • Time Outside the U.S.: There's no set limit, but keep in mind the 90-day window to get married after entering the U.S. on the K-1 visa.

  • Changes in Plans? If your wedding is delayed or the 90 days need extending, talk to USCIS for guidance.

For any questions about K-1 visa travel or the immigration process, consider consulting an immigration attorney or accredited representative. They can offer personalized advice based on your situation and help ensure you comply with immigration rules.
