Nashville Fiancé K-1 Visa Attorney

Bringing a foreign fiancé(e) to the United States is an exciting but complex process. Given the intricate paperwork, strict eligibility criteria and potential delays, working with an immigration attorney is essential.

Maniatis Law PLLC provides skilled legal representation for individuals seeking a fiancé K-1 visa in Nashville, Tennessee. With extensive knowledge of immigration law, attorney Matt Maniatis’ exceptional customer service means clients can always have a knowledgeable lawyer guiding them through the fiancé visa application process.

What Is A Fiancé(e) Visa?

A K-1 visa is a nonimmigrant visa that allows a U.S. citizen to bring their foreign fiancé(e) to the country to get married.

The couple must marry within 90 days of the foreign partner’s arrival. Afterward, the foreign spouse can apply for a green card to become a lawful permanent resident.

What Are The Eligibility Requirements For A K-1 Fiancé Visa?

To qualify for a K-1 visa, both partners must meet specific criteria, including:

  • The petitioner must be a U.S. citizen.
  • Both parties must be legally free to marry.
  • The couple must have met in person within the last two years (with limited exceptions).
  • The relationship must be genuine, with the intent to marry within 90 days of arrival.
  • The U.S. citizen must meet financial requirements to support their fiancé(e).

Attorney Matt Maniatis helps clients with the application process.

Process And Timeline For A Fiancé Visa

The K-1 visa process involves multiple steps, including:

  • Filing the petition: The U.S. citizen submits Form I-129F to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
  • USCIS approval: Once approved, the petition is sent to the National Visa Center.
  • Consular processing: The foreign fiancé(e) undergoes a visa interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate.
  • Visa issuance and entry: If approved, the fiancé(e) enters the U.S. and must marry within 90 days.
  • Adjustment of status: After marriage, the foreign spouse can apply for a green card.

Each stage requires detailed documentation, and any errors can lead to delays or denials.
