What Is a K-1 Visa?
A K-1 fiancé(e) visa generally requires:
- A bona fide intent to marry within 90 days of entry
- Proof of a qualifying relationship and in-person meeting (with limited exceptions)
- Approval of a fiancé(e) petition by USCIS before consular processing
After marriage, the foreign spouse typically applies for adjustment of status under INA § 245.
