A fiancé (K-1) visa grants permission to a non-U.S. citizen who is engaged to marry a U.S. citizen to enter the United States for the purpose of getting married. In order for your fiancé to get a K-1 visa, you will need to file a petition on Form I-129F with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

Can I move to USA if I marry an American?

Yes, in many cases, if you get married to an American citizen you will be able to move to America and apply for a green card. The US has stringent immigration policies and any foreign national who wants to move to the US, must satisfy a number of conditions before they are able to permanently reside to the US.

Can you get married to avoid deportation?

Getting married does not stop deportation. You must prove your marriage to USCIS and then adjust your status with the Immigration Judge. If your adjustment of status is granted you become a permanent resident and your deportation proceedings are over at the time the Judge grants your case.

How long do I have to be married to get citizenship?

A key condition for applying under the three-year rule versus the five-year rule is that you must have been “living in marital union,” meaning you have to have been living together with your U.S. spouse for at least 3 years before filing for naturalization.
