K-1 or Fiancee Visas

Expert Tip # 3
Attach to the I-129F abundant documentation offering proof of your relationship and intention to marry. Copies of letters, emails, faxes, telephone logs, receipts from travel, shipping, couriers, photos of you both together, engagement announcements are all useful. More rather then less is the rule here. The USCIS officer will not be offended if more materials are present then he needs. He will disregard whatever he does not feel is relevant. Just be sure that the documents are neatly presented, bound or stapled and organized in a logical fashion.

Some fiancees think they might want to get married, but are not 100% certain, and need more time to get to
know each other or to adjust to the new country. The fiancee may qualify for a visitor visa if the intention
is not to get married in the USA (but to come and go and get married in another country, to return again on an
immigrant visa). However, by applying for a K-1, the foreign fiancee may be much more open about their
intentions since the purpose of the visa is to allow a foreign citizen to remain in the United States for 90
days to get married, with the idea of living and working legally after marriage. If the intent to marry is
made clear enough, and something does happen that makes the couple decide not to marry, then the fiancee may
leave the country without repercussions. However, in the case that the couple marry after entry on another type
of temporary visa, there are some penalties under the law. In many cases the marriage will be upheld and
immigrant status granted to the foreign spouse, but sometimes the foreign spouse risks being deported. Limitations
have also been put into place to discourage marriage by visitors on other visas. For example, a K1 visa may
not be issued to a recent student visitor (to discourage foreigners being students merely for the purpose of
meeting US spouses). Though the K1 visa may take more time in planning, it minimizes risks that wedding plans
will be scuttled at the last moment by a denial of admission.
