Albuquerque Fiancé Visa Attorney

Legal Help for Fiancé Visas in Albuquerque

The fiancée visa, also known as a K-1, allows U.S. citizens to bring their foreign national fiancées into the country for the purpose of getting married. This visa does not act as a green card and does not allow one's fiancée to remain in the United States indefinitely. It enables a fiancée to enter the country only one time within six months of its issuance. Once a citizen has brought a fiancée into the country using this visa, the two individuals have 90 days in which to get married. If a marriage does not occur, the fiancée must leave before the 90-day period expires. If a marriage does occur, the two individuals must apply for an adjustment of status so that the fiancée can be considered a legal permanent resident.
