Is there such a thing as a 90-day fiancé visa?

You may be eligible to apply for this type of visa for a fiancé if:

• You are a U.S. citizen, 
• You and your fiance plan to get married within 90 days of your fiance’s admission to the U.S., 
• You and your fiance are legally free to marry, meaning any of your past marriages have been terminated and your marriage would not be in violation of law, 
• You and your fiance have met each other in person at least once in the two years prior to filing your petition, unless meeting in person would violate your cultural or religious beliefs or would cause you extreme hardship, 
• You can financially support your fiancé, and 
• You have not committed certain serious crimes. 

Additionally, your fiancé will need to be admissible to the U.S.  This covers many different grounds which make a person ineligible to enter or remain in the U.S. Speaking to an experienced immigration attorney is important to determine if any of these grounds apply.

Some advantages to the K-1 visa process are not only the obvious benefit of having your fiancé here with you in the U.S., but your fiancé’s children who are under the age of 21 and unmarried may also immigrate to the U.S. Additionally, upon marrying within 90 days your fiancé and stepchildren can apply for  Green Card. However, even if you failed to marry within the 90 day period but did in fact marry afterwards your spouse may be eligible to obtain a Green Card.
