You must be a U.S. citizen to file. Your fiancée or fiancé must be a citizen of another country and physically outside the U.S. at the time of application. An individual can be issued a K-1 visa only after a petition is filed in the U.S. and has been approved, based on satisfactory evidence of the following:

  • That the couple previously met within the two (2) years of the date of filing the petition, unless a waiver is granted;
  • That the couple has a bona fide intention to marry;
  • and the couple is legally able and actually willing to conclude a valid marriage in the United States within 90 days after the foreign fiancee's or fiancé's arrival.
