The K-1 visa will allow the foreign citizen who
is engaged to a U.S citizen to go to the U.S. While in the U.S, the couple is
expected to get married legally within a specific period of time. The K-1
visa holder will get this visa so that they can marry the U.S citizen within 90
days of arriving in the U.S.
To be allowed to
get the K-1 visa and travel to the U.S to marry the U.S citizen, there are
first a few fiancé visa requirements that you must fulfill.
So if you want to
marry your fiancé in the U.S, you must fulfill these eligibility criteria:
- You must
have proof of your relationship before the engagement
- You plan
on getting married while you are in the U.S on a K-1 visa
- The
marriage will be performed according to the U.S laws where the marriage
will be done
- You and
the U.S citizen must have met in person at least once in the past two
years
