Fiancee Visas

Most immigration attorneys hear these questions all the time: ” How can I get fiancee visas?”, “How long is the wait to get a fiancée visa?” “Do I really need an immigration attorney to get my fiancée a visa?”. When you are separated from the one you love, these questions are extremely urgent and important.

There are so many offers to perform legal services for fiancée visas on the internet, ranging from $150 to $5,000, that you may not know what to do. If you begin reading about how to file fiancée visas you may quickly become confused with all of the requirements and agencies involved. The USCIS has warned consumers about immigration consultant services that just send the forms to fiancées that they can get for free on the uscis.gov website. You may have already hired somebody, only to find that they provided you with forms you have already downloaded!

The fiancée visa, or K-1 visa is great because you only need to prove that you have met face to face in the last two years and that you are legally available to marry one another. However, there are a great deal of obstacles you must overcome to get the visa.
