Why Choose K-1

What is the K-1 visa and who is it for?

The K-1 visa is for foreign nationals engaged to U.S. citizens. It allows them to enter the U.S. for 90 days to get married and then apply for a green card. It’s a high-scrutiny visa with strict timelines - marriage must occur within 90 days of arrival to avoid legal complications or removal.
