K-1 Fiancé Visa Timeline: What to Expect
August 31, 2026 · Akula & Associates, P.C.
The K-1 visa allows a foreign fiancé(e) of a U.S. citizen to enter the country to marry within 90 days. While faster than many family categories, it still involves several distinct steps.
The process begins with an I-129F petition, followed by National Visa Center processing, a consular interview abroad, and finally entry to the U.S. on the K-1 visa itself — after which the couple must marry within the 90-day window.
We help couples build a strong petition with evidence of a bona fide relationship and guide them through each stage, including the adjustment of status filing that follows the wedding.
