K1 Fiancee Visa - Gateway To The USA April 26, 2008

Getting a K1 visa is the first step for many to a new life and marriage in the USA. The Fiancee Visa must be filed by the US partner and starts a complicated procedure to allow the non-American half to enter the US to get married and subsequently live and work in the US.

There are forms to be filled and filed with Homeland security and if accepted you are then passed onto Immigration where your visa is stamped. The regulations governing immigration into the US has been severly tightened since 9/11 and applications are scrutinised much more thoroughly than they were before the twin towers attack. Dealing with Immigration is a soulless affair. Their prescence at airport passport control is legendary for all holidaymakers making their way to their final US destination.

However if your aim is a new marriage and life in the US then don’t be detterred by the red tape and just be patient. It will be worth it in the end. I married a US citizen back in 2004 and spend my time between our homes in South Carolina and Spain. I didn’t have to get a K1 fiancee visa as I wasn’t looking to work in the states, but I enjoy my time there and recommend it as a way of life.

So just be sure that the correct I-129F gets filed and then just follow the right procedures and the Visa will come. Good Luck and congratulations!
