Question:
I am currently in U.S. with
K-1 visa, how to apply for the U.S. Green Card as Fiancée of
U.S. Citizen?
Answer:
U.S. immigration law allows
a U.S. citizen to petition for a alien fiancé(e) to obtain a
K-1 nonimmigrant visa to travel to the United States and seek
admission. Within 90 days after being admitted as a K-1 nonimmigrant,
the alien must enter into a marriage with the U.S. citizen who
filed the Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e), on the K-1 nonimmigrant behalf.
After being admitted to the United States as a K-1 nonimmigrant and
marrying the U.S. citizen petitioner within 90 days, the alien spouse
can apply for U.S. permanent resident status in the United States.
To apply for lawful permanent resident status based on their admission
as a K-1 nonimmigrant, the alien spouce should marriage within 90 days
to their U.S. citizen petitioner. Thereafter, the K-1 nonimmigrant can apply
for “adjustment of
status”, with Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent
Residence or Adjust Status.
