Frequently Asked Questions
What is a K-1 fiancé visa and how does Form I-129F work?+
Form I-129F is the petition a U.S. citizen files to bring their foreign fiancé(e) to the United States on a K-1 visa. After USCIS approves the petition, it is sent to the National Visa Center, then to the U.S. embassy in your fiancé's country for a visa interview. Your fiancé must enter the U.S. within 6 months and marry you within 90 days of arrival.
Do we have to have met in person to file the I-129F?+
Yes. USCIS requires that you and your fiancé have physically met in person at least once within the 2 years before filing. Virtual meetings via video call do not count. You must provide evidence of an in-person meeting such as dated photos, stamped passport pages, or flight records.
How long does the I-129F fiancé petition process take?+
USCIS currently processes Form I-129F in approximately 13–18 months. After USCIS approval, the National Visa Center and U.S. embassy abroad add additional processing time. The entire K-1 visa process from filing to entry can take 18–24 months or more.
What happens if we do not get married within 90 days of the K-1 visa?+
If you do not marry within 90 days of your fiancé's entry on the K-1 visa, the visa expires and your fiancé must leave the United States. There are no extensions. If you later get married abroad, you would need to file an immigrant petition (I-130) instead.
