Many American citizens who are engaged to foreign nationals, are naturally desirous of having their fiancée join them in the U.S. in the months prior to the wedding. A K-1 visa is the perfect choice for engaged couples who wish to be together as they plan their future.
A K-1 visa also gives the foreign fiancée a chance to acclimate to life in America. If things do not work out as planned, the fiancée has the option to return home during 90-day-period.
The immigration team at the George McCranie Law Firm have a well-earned reputation for their professional assistance and streamlined processing of K-1 fiancée visas. The law firm can help men and women in all 50 states sponsor foreign-born fiancées to join them for the purpose of marriage from different parts of the globe.
Although a K-1 visa is a temporary non-immigrant visa, it does allow a foreign citizen fiancée to enter the U.S. for 90 days for the purpose of marriage. If you marry within 90 days of your intended spouse’s entry date into the country, then your spouse may adjust his or her status after the marriage to become a Green Card holder/Permanent Resident.
After your fiancée enters the country legally, he or she may apply to work in the United States. The Law Office of George McCranie will gladly assist your fiancée with his/her Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization.
If you do not go through with the wedding before the 90-day time limit, then the K-1 holder must return to his or her country of origin, immediately after the 90-day period. Unfortunately the K-1 visa cannot be extended.
