Marriage-Based Green Cards

If you are a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident seeking to bring your husband or wife, a foreign citizen, to the United States, obtaining a green card for your spouse is a crucial step. This process allows your foreign spouse to live and work legally in the United States as a permanent resident. Our experienced attorneys assist with every aspect of this process, from preparing the initial green card application to attending interviews with immigration officials.

We ensure all required documentation is completed accurately, including the immigrant visa petition, marriage certificates, and affidavits of support. Whether you are applying to adjust status or going through consular processing, we are here to guide you every step of the way.

Fiancé Visas (K-1 Visas)

The K-1 visa is designed for U.S. citizens who wish to bring their foreign fiancé to the United States for marriage. As your dedicated fiancé visa attorney, we will help you meet the specific requirements, such as proving your relationship’s authenticity and documenting your in-person meeting within the last two years. Our team also assists with filing Form I-129F, the petition for alien fiancé, and ensures that your case is ready for processing.

Once the K-1 visa is approved, your fiancé will have 90 days to marry you in the United States. We can also assist with the adjustment of status to obtain a green card after marriage, ensuring a smooth transition to permanent residency.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a marriage-based green card?

A marriage-based green card allows a foreign spouse of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident to live and work in the United States. Applicants must prove the authenticity of their marriage and meet other requirements, such as financial support from the U.S. citizen petitioner.

How long does a marriage-based green card take?

The processing time for a marriage-based green card can vary, but it typically takes 12 to 24 months. Factors such as the location of the applicant, the caseload at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and the completeness of the application can affect the timeline. Working with experienced immigration services can help expedite the process.

Who is eligible for a K-1 visa?

A K-1 visa is available to foreign fiancés of U.S. citizens who plan to marry within 90 days of entering the United States. To qualify, the couple must have met in person within the last two years (with limited exceptions), and the U.S. citizen petitioner must prove financial support and the authenticity of the relationship.

How long does a fiancé visa take?

The processing time for a fiancé visa (K-1) typically ranges from 6 to 9 months, though it can vary based on factors such as USCIS processing times and embassy or consulate workloads. Consulting with a fiancé visa attorney can help streamline the process and avoid delays.

How long should a relationship be for a fiancé visa?

There is no specific length of time a relationship must last to qualify for a K-1 visa. However, the couple must provide evidence of a genuine relationship and have met in person within the last two years before filing the petition. Documentation such as photos, correspondence, and travel records can support the application.

How long can you stay in the US on a fiancé visa?

A fiancé visa allows the foreign national to stay in the United States for up to 90 days. During this time, the couple must marry. After marriage, the foreign spouse can apply for an adjustment of status to obtain a green card, transitioning to permanent residency.
