What’s The K1 Visa?

The K1 Visa, also known as the fiance visa is the route for US citizens’ fiances to enter the country and with the intention of get married.

Through this visa, a single entry into the country is granted to the fiancee. The condition for this visa is both parties must come into marriage within 90 days of their admission.

So it is crucial to keep the terms in mind and not forget them in between the excitement and fun of the joyous event.

What Happens if The Marriage is Delayed?

If a couple delays their marriage even after the 90 day time period, the immigrant fiance will have to leave the country.

The status of a K1 non-immigrant will only be able to adjusted if the marriage took place within 90 days after the entry. An important to be noted is that if the K1 non-immigrant marries a different US citizen, it won’t provide the K1 non-immigrant the right to stay in the US or to apply for a green card.
