Question: 1 / 400

Who is allowed to file a petition for a fiancé(e) to be admitted to the U.S.?

Only U.S. Citizens

A fiancé(e) visa, specifically the K-1 visa, is designed for foreign nationals who are engaged to U.S. citizens. As such, only U.S. citizens are eligible to file a petition for their fiancé(e) to come to the U.S. This process allows the couple to marry within a specified timeframe after entry into the United States.

In contrast, lawful permanent residents (LPRs) cannot file a petition for a fiancé(e) under this specific visa category. LPRs can sponsor their spouses, but they must go through a different process for married couples, rather than for fiancé(e)s who have not yet wed. Other categories of residents or non-citizens do not have the legal standing necessary to initiate this particular type of visa petition for their partners. This specificity reinforces the notion that only U.S. citizens can initiate the process for bringing a fiancé(e) into the country under the K-1 visa provisions.
