Who Can File a Fiance Visa?

Petitioning for a Fiance K Visa

In order to qualify to file for a fiance (K) visa, you must be a U.S. citizen, able to marry, have personally met your fiance within two years before filing of Form I-129F, and intend to marry within 90 days of your fiance entering the U.S.

Your foreign fiance also needs to be able to marry, have personally met you within two years before your filing and intend to marry within 90 days of entering the U.S.

The only exception to the requirement of meeting in person is if meeting would violate strict and long-established customs of you or your fiance's foreign culture or social practice or meeting your fiance would result in extreme hardship to you, the citizen.

Who Can Enter on a Fiance K Visa?

Your foreign fiance and her unmarried children who are under 21 years listed on Form I-29 will be eligible to apply to accompany your fiance.
