K-1 fiance visa service
For couples planning marriage after entry to the United States
The K-1 visa is designed for the foreign-citizen fiance(e) of a U.S. citizen who plans to marry within 90 days of entering the United States.
Answer plain-language questions about both of you, how you met, and your history. Haven uses your answers to prepare Form I-129F and a personalized evidence checklist. The petition is only the first stage: once USCIS approves it the case moves to the National Visa Center and then to a consulate, where your fiance(e) files Form DS-160 and interviews. After you marry, your spouse files Form I-485 to become a permanent resident.
