Question:
I
live
outside the United States, and will marry a U.S. citizen husband soon.
What is the necessary process for me to enter the U.S. to marry a U.S.
citizen? How could I get this kind of visa to enter U.S.?
Answer:
The U.S. citizen must file a
fiancé/fiancée visa
application (K-1 visa application) using Form I-129F, with the U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). If the K-1 visa
application is approves by USCIS, the USCIS will forward the approved
application documents to a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad. Then U.S.
embassy or consulate will then contact the alien beneficiary with
information and eventually schedule an interview for a
fiancé/fiancée visa.
After the interview and issue of the K-1 visa, the the alien
beneficiary has 90 days from entry into the U.S. to marry the U.S.
citizen. The alien fiancé/fiancée must leave U.S.
within this time if he or she does not want to marry the U.S. citizen.
