Your fiancé(e) must enter the through an immigration port-of-entry. You must get married within 90 days of your fiancé(e) entering the United States.  You should make sure that you marry within ninety days of entering the United States, because not complying with this requirement could make you ineligible for further immigration benefits. Millar & Smith can help you bring your foreign fiancée or spouse into the United States.

Each year, over 200,000 citizens of the United States marry foreign-born persons and then petition for them to obtain legal entry into the United States. Spouses of U.S. citizens are considered immediate relatives under immigration law and are therefore exempt from all numerical quota limitations. Because of this, foreign-born persons married to U.S. citizens can have relatively quick access to legal permanent resident status - a green card.

Millar & Smith Immigration Attorneys, PLLC The K-1 Fiancé(e) visa allows a U.S. citizen to bring his or her foreign fiancé/ee to the U.S. to get married and obtain a green card (adjust status). Fiancés and fiancées of a US citizen qualify for the K-1 visa. An application is filed with the USCIS on behalf of the fiancé(e), who will then be interviewed at a US consulate abroad. If the visa is granted, the fiancé(e) then has 6 months in which to enter the US and must then marry the US citizen within 90 days of entry. After marrying, the newly married foreign spouse, again with the help of the US citizen spouse, would ordinarily file for "Adjustment of Status", a process in which they convert their K-1 fiancé(e) status to that of "Lawful Permanent Resident Status", more commonly referred to as a green card. This initial residency status is conditioned on the couple staying married if, at the time permanent resident status is granted, the couple has been married for less than two years. The conditional status may be removed after two years by filing a Petition to Remove Conditions on Permanent Residency on form I-751.No immigration matter is more personal or more sensitive than a fiancée or marriage visa.
