K1 fiancé visa basics
January 28th, 2008
Obtaining a K1 Fiance Visa is a two step process. First step is filing the petition by the US citizen for the spouse at the USCIS. Second step would be the requisition of the alien for a K1 visa stamp at their home country’s US consulate. The petition thus filed will be sent to CIS for approval. Once sent to CIS, you will receive an acknowledgment for the same as well as the duration it would take to process your petition. Upon approval, I-797 is sent to you. This is then sent to the alien’s US consulate. Once they receive it, interview date will be fixed by them with the alien or your spouse. Your spouse has to produce the necessary documents and also should prove that the health condition is stable. Once everything is verified and found true, your spouse would get a K1 fiancé visa.
