The Fiancée Visa Process

Phase 1: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
To begin the process, the petitioner must first submit an application to USCIS. It will be required by the USCIS that the fiancée and petitioner file numerous documents that prove their eligibility to qualify for the K1 visa. The initial waiting time for the K1 visa can be anywhere from 2 weeks to 7 months. Any errors in the petition may result in doubling the waiting time.

Phase 2: U.S. Embassy
Once approval has been received, the case is transferred to the Department of State's National Visa Center where a background check is begun on the fiancée. The NVC then forwards the case file to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate having jurisdiction over the fiancée’s petition. Once all required documents have been received by the U.S. Embassy and the State Department, the fiancée will be instructed to:

A medical examination at a designated local clinic
Appear the U.S. Embassy for presentation of several new forms and numerous supporting documents.
Undergo an interview with an Embassy Consular Official.

At this time, if all paperwork is in order and the interview is deemed successful, the visa will be issued on the same day, or in some cases, in the week following the interview. Thereafter, the fiancée is free to travel immediately and directly to the United States.

Our Expertise will guide you through this process
By enlisting the help of John Roth to guide you through the procedure of a fiancée visa application, you will be provided with:

Preparation and Assembly of the I-129F Petition
Our expertise and experience will spare you innumerable days spent on researching the law and attempting to obtain the information and documents necessary for your application. This process can be time consuming for the client, but our past record shows that we have submitted petitions in as little as four days after being retained. As your fiancée visa attorney, we use our training and knowledge to recognize any potential hidden issues in the documentation before assembling your application. When we are confident that your case is ready, the I-129F petition is assembled in order to be as complete, accurate and easy to review as possible. This encourages the USCIS examiner to approve the application quickly; moreover, the chances of the petition being returned with a “Request for (Additional) Evidence” have been reduced to near zero.

On-Going Law and Procedures Updates
Information related to the fiancée application process often changes without being immediately updated on Government websites. We regularly monitor new statutes, legal publications and other sources of information so that we can quickly advise our clients of any recent changes.

Ongoing Legal Counsel
We provide you with the assistance of a fiancée visa attorney throughout the duration of your application process and any questions that you may have will be answered and your concerns alleviated.

Support during Embassy Contact
Preparation of embassy forms, embassy contact and guidance for your fiancée prior to her embassy interview will be provided.

Paralegal Assistance in Moscow, Kiev, Guangzhou, Manila and Warsaw
One of our assistants will meet your fiancée upon her arrival in Moscow, Kiev, Guangzhou, Manila or Warsaw in order to prepare her for the Embassy interview, check her documents one last time, make her comfortable, and ensure that she is fulfilling all of her obligations during her stay in the Embassy city. This assistance spares our client the need to fly to the Embassy to accompany the inevitably nervous fiancée (a common occurrence for petitioners doing the visa application themselves). For fiancées going to other embassies, one of our U.S. staff assistants will call the fiancée directly to prepare her at length for the interview.
