Be sure you have an experienced immigration lawyer to guide you through the process and help ensure that everything goes smoothly.
The law regarding marriage and fiance visas can become complicated. There are specific requirements that must be met and there are time constraints in place in certain cases. The suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania law firm of Solnick & Levin, LLC has helped many clients with the advice and representation they required to all them to begin this exciting new chapter of their lives.
K-1 Fiance Visas
The K-1 fiance visa allows you to bring your foreign national fiance to the United States in anticipation of getting married. Once your fiance receives his or her visa, the couple must wed within 90 days. Once you are married, you are able to request an adjustment of status for your spouse as a lawful permanent resident.
K-3 Spouse Visa
The K-3 visa is used to allow foreign spouses of U.S. citizens to remain in the country while the immigration process is completed. As the spouse of a U.S. citizen, foreign nationals are considered immediate family members who will be able to stay in the country under the K-3 visa. Many foreign spouses go on to obtain green cards and become lawful permanent residents.
