| 5. | What are the K-1 fiance visa processing times? | | | |
| | The K-1 fiance visa processing times vary with each individual’s circumstances. Under normal circumstances, it takes around 3 to 5 months at the USCIS plus 2 to 3 months at the Consulates to process the visa. |
| 6. | How
do I apply for K-1 visa? | | | | | | To apply for a K-1 visa, a petition must be submitted
by your U.S. citizen fiancé or fiance to the USCIS along with a: | | | | | |
| • | Letter from the U.S. citizen stating your intention to marry each other |  |
| • | Proof that the U.S. citizen and you have met in person within two years of filing the petition (this may be waived for reasons like cultural issues) |
| | • | Proof that you both are legally able to marry (age for getting married, no divorce pending cases etc) |
| | • | Valid Passport |
| | • | Birth Certificate |
| | • | Divorce decree or Death Certificate of any previous spouse |
| | • | Police Certificates from all places lived since the age of 16 |
| | • | Medical Examination Report |
|
| | | | | Note: When the USCIS approves the petition, it sends the petition to the Consulate abroad to the nation concerned,
which will issue the K-1 visa. The consulate determines whether the foreign fiance would be eligible to receive an immigrant visa, before approving the K-1 visa |
 |

| 7. | As a U.S. citizen what additional information do I need to know about K-1 visa? | | |
| | You must keep in mind that: | | | |
| | | • | As a U.S. citizen, you are completely responsible for your K-1 fiance or fiancee financially |
| | • | If for any reason you do not marry your K-1 fiance or fiancée and she departs the
U.S. within the 90 days, she will not be precluded from coming to the U.S. in the future on another K-1 visa and you will not be precluded from again bringing her or another fiance to the U.S. on a K-1 visa | |
| • | Your fiance or fiancee can obtain authorization to work under K-1 status |
