K Visas -- Fiance Visas
In this Internet era, individuals are now entering Internet chat rooms and meeting other individuals with similar interests. Often, the two individuals reside on different continents. Internet chatting often leads to more serious and frequent communication, and sometimes a relationship flourishes.
When a United States Citizen meets a foreign national, and a relationship develops with the individual, the couple will desire to unite their lives together. If the U.S. Citizen and his or her foreign national fiance want to live their lives together in the United States, the U.S. citizen may petition for the fiance to enter the US with a K-1 visa.
The K-1 visa allows the foreign national fiance to enter the United States solely for the purpose of getting married to the U.S. citizen petitioner. Once the foreign national enters the United States, he or she must get married to the U.S. citizen within 90 days. Of course, the petitioner (US citizen) and beneficiary (fiance) must meet certain requirements before applying for the visa.
The following requirements must be met in order to file a petition for the fiance to enter the U.S. on a K-1 visa: The petitioner must be a U.S. citizen; the U.S. citizen must have met with the fiance in person within the previous two years; both individuals must be legally free to marry; the fiance must not have violated any U.S. immigration laws; the fiance must not have a criminal record.
