Fiancé(e) Visa

The K-1 Visa, often referred to as the Fiancée Visa, is a nonimmigrant visa for the fiancées of U.S. citizens. This visa is designated for female partners of U.S. citizens, while the term "Fiancé" applies to male partners. Obtaining a Fiancée Visa is the initial step toward acquiring a Green Card through marriage for those aiming to become eligible for permanent residency via their U.S. citizen spouses.
