Can I Bring My Fiancé To The United States?
So, you’ve fallen deeply in love with someone who is not a United States citizen, and now you’re excitedly ready to embark on a new chapter of your life together. If you plan to tie the knot in the U.S., your partner may be able to come here on a fiancé (K-1) visa, allowing you both to start the journey of marriage in the country.
On the other hand, if you are already married, your spouse may qualify to apply for a visa through the family-based immigration process, which can eventually lead to obtaining permanent residency in the United States.
While the steps involved in this process are relatively straightforward, the entire procedure can be quite detailed and requires careful attention to timing and the necessary documentation—especially since your fiancé must adhere to specific rules and guidelines before arriving in the United States.
Serving clients across the country, Andrew Driggs focuses on helping couples navigate each step of this journey, ensuring they move forward with clarity and confidence. If you’re ready to take the exciting step of bringing your fiancé or spouse to the United States, don’t hesitate to contact Driggs Immigration Law today for experienced assistance and guidance.

What Can an Immigration Lawyer Help Us With?
Although it’s possible to apply for a K-1 visa on your own, the process often takes significantly longer than anticipated due to the numerous requirements that must be met with meticulous precision. You and your fiancé are required to navigate through each step exactly as outlined by U.S. immigration law; even the smallest mistakes can lead to frustrating delays that can throw your entire timeline off course.
Working with someone experienced who understands the intricate process of K-1 visa applications can make the experience not only smoother but also far less stressful, allowing you to dedicate more time and energy to planning your wedding. Ensuring that your fiancé visa petition is complete, properly documented, and clearly prepared can make a significant difference in how quickly your case progresses through the system.
Serving clients nationwide, Andrew Driggs focuses on helping couples avoid common pitfalls and errors that can lead to costly delays and complications in the application process. If you’re ready to take the first step in your K-1 visa journey, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation with Driggs Immigration Law today to get started on the right path.
What Happens During the Fiancé Visa Application Process?
The first step in the fiancé visa process is filing your petition. Along with the petition, you must submit an Affidavit of Support (Form I-864). This form carries significant financial responsibility, and Andrew Driggs will help you understand the long-term obligations you take on when signing it. Even if the marriage later ends, the financial commitment generally remains in place until your spouse becomes a U.S. citizen or completes 40 quarters of qualifying work.
After the petition is approved by USCIS, your fiancé will attend an interview at a U.S. consulate or embassy in their home country to obtain the visa. Depending on the situation, they may be required to meet certain medical or vaccination requirements before the visa can be issued. Once your fiancé arrives in the United States, the two of you must marry within 90 days without exception.
Because this process requires careful timing and coordination, having reliable guidance can help everything move more smoothly. Serving clients nationwide, Driggs Immigration Law assists couples through each stage—from the initial petition to the steps that follow marriage, including the path toward a green card.
