Can I Bring My Fiancé To The United States?

So, you’ve fallen in love with someone who’s not a United States citizen, and now you plan to tie the knot. If you’ve decided to start your life together here in the U.S., you can bring your loved one here with a fiancé (K-1) visa. If you’re already married, your spouse can use the USCIS’ family-based immigration program to apply for a visa and eventually, permanent residence (green card). After your fiancé says yes, the next call you should make (after you call your family) should be to an immigration attorney. While the process is fairly easy, it is lengthy and requires certain steps that your foreign fiancé cannot sidestep. Jude Law LLC can help. Get in touch with our team today.


Before applying for a fiancé visa, it’s important to understand the eligibility requirements. Your fiancé must be a foreign national living outside of the U.S., and you must have met in person within the past two years. Additionally, you and your fiancé must be legally free to marry and intend to marry within 90 days of their arrival in the U.S.


It’s important to note that obtaining a fiancé visa does not guarantee entry into the U.S. Your fiancé may still be denied entry if they are found ineligible or deemed a potential threat to national security. That’s why it’s crucial to have a qualified immigration attorney by your side throughout the process.


At Jude Law LLC, we focus on assisting couples with the fiancé visa application process. Our experienced team will guide you through each step and ensure that all necessary documents are properly completed and submitted. We know that this can be an overwhelming and emotional process, and we’re here to provide support and peace of mind.


Our team at Jude Law LLC will also assist with the green card application process, carefully reviewing all forms and documents to ensure they are filled out accurately and completely. We understand that any mistakes or omissions can lead to delays or even denials, which is why we take great care in every detail of your case.


We also offer legal support for couples who are already married and seeking a green card for their spouse. Our attorneys have extensive knowledge of the complex immigration laws and regulations, and we will work tirelessly to help you reunite with your loved one in the U.S.

What Can an Immigration Lawyer Help Us With?

While you can apply for a K-1 visa without an attorney, it usually takes a much longer time since there are so many details to finalize. You and your fiancé must follow every requirement to the very letter of the law. It makes the process less stressful (and usually faster) if you have an experienced immigration lawyer to advise you on every detail so you can concentrate on your wedding plans. Making sure that your fiancé visa petition has all the documentation and is worded correctly can make the difference between approval and additional wait time. Avoid costly errors that waste your time and money. Book your K-1 consultation with our immigration lawyer today.

What Happens During the Fiancé Visa Application Process?

First, you’ll need to file your petition. Along with that petition, you’ll need to file another form, the Affidavit of Support (Form I-864). Your attorney will help you realize the tremendous responsibility you take on by signing this document. Even divorce cannot relieve you of your responsibility to provide financial support for your spouse, at least until they become a citizen or have completed 40 quarters of work. Then, once the USCIS approves your petition, your fiancé must go to a U.S. consulate or embassy in their home country to obtain their visa. Depending on the circumstances, they might need to pass certain health requirements to obtain their visa. Once your fiancé arrives, you must marry within 90 days without exception. It takes a great deal of coordination, so it helps to have an experienced attorney on your side. Our immigration attorney can help smooth your way to the altar and your path to a green card afterward.


Divorce is often a difficult and emotionally taxing process, but it's important to understand that even after a divorce, your financial responsibilities towards your former spouse may still remain. This is especially true if your former spouse is not yet a U.S. citizen or has not completed 40 quarters of work.


It's important to note that getting married does not automatically grant your fiancé permanent residency in the U.S. After the wedding, you will need to file for an adjustment of status to obtain a green card for your spouse. This process can take several months and may require additional evidence of your relationship and financial support. Once your fiancé receives their green card, they will be able to live and work in the United States permanently. After three years of marriage, they can apply for citizenship if they meet all other eligibility requirements.


It's essential to follow all rules and regulations throughout this process to ensure a smooth transition for your fiancé into the United States. Any misrepresentation or failure to disclose information during the visa application could result in denial or revocation of the visa. It's crucial to provide truthful and accurate information to the USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) during this process.
