My fiancée will enter U.S. on K-1 visa, what is the process for my fiancée to get Green Card after our marriage?
Answer:
Once your fiancée is issued a K-1 visa, she must enter the U.S. through a US Immigration port-of-entry. You must get married within 90 days of your fiancée’s entry. After the marriage takes place your spouse must file for adjustment of status using Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status with the USCIS National Benefits Center.
The U.S. citizen spouse must complete and submit the Affidavit of Support, Form I-864, with the fiancée’s application to become a lawful permanent resident. Since you will most likely have been married for less than two years when your spouse is granted her Green Card, she will be granted ‘conditional’ status. You and your spouse must apply together to the USCIS to remove the ‘conditions’ within the 90 days before the two year anniversary of the date your spouse was granted permanent residence.
