Qualifying individuals who are engaged to United States citizens are eligible to receive temporary visas to enter the United States and subsequently file for permanent residence through an Adjustment of Status application. Fiancés may receive a K-1 visa, which requires marriage to their United States citizen fiancé(e) within 90 days of entry. In addition, the child of the K-1 visa beneficiary may be eligible for a K-2 visa, which will allow the child to enter the United States and subsequently obtain permanent residence through sponsorship via the United States citizen step-parent.
The Bae Law Group works with clients to determine the most expeditious and convenient method of entry for fiancé(e) of United States citizens. The K-1 visa may be only one of several options for those engaged to a United States citizen. Because multiple options may exist for a couple, our firm meets and educates clients regarding the obstacles and processing times involved in these applications so that they make informed decisions on their immigration planning.
