Here are some interesting facts on how to get a fiancee visa:
* Immigration Law
A fiancee visa is governed by the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). For specific eligibility requirements and information on the procedure for application consult the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). This will give you the required rules for application.
* Who is Eligible to Get a Fiancee Visa?
Any United States citizen who will be getting married to a foreign national in the United States may apply for a fiancee (K-1) classification for their significant other. If you apply you are required to provide proof that you are both free to be married. If any previous marriage has ended via death, divorce or annulment proof must be provided of this.
You are also required to have met with your fiancee in person within the past two years before making the application. It is possible that this requirement may be waived if meeting him or her personally would be in violation of a long-established custom or if meeting them would be a source of extreme hardship for you.
If your fiancee has unmarried children under the age of 21 you may apply to bring them to the United States.
* Can My Fiancee Apply for a Work Permit?
After you get a fiancee visa granted and on arrival in the United States your fiancee may apply for a work permit but remember that the USCIS may not be able to process the application before the 90 day time limit expires. He or she must use Form I-765 to apply for a work permit.
If an application for permanent residency status is submitted after the marriage he or she will need to apply for a new work permit.
* Can I Check the Status of My Fiancee Visa Application?
Contact the USCIS office who received your application. If you do so, you will need to provide them with specific information relating to your application.
