K1 Visas - Fiancé Visa​

​

The correct terminology is “fiancée” for a woman who is engaged to be married or fiancé for a man. For simplicity, we use “fiancé” to mean either a male or female engaged partner.

​

Is the K-1 visa right for me?

​

In some cases, it might make sense to skip the fiancé visa process altogether and go straight to getting married and applying for a spousal visa. This decision depends on where you are living, how long you wish to wait to be together, and various other circumstances.

​

The processing time for a K-1 visa application currently averages 13-18 months. This does not include the time from when the government approves your application to your interview date, which differs based on the country you’re applying from.
