K Visa
To establish K-1 visa classification for an alien fiance(e), an American citizen must file a petition, Form I-129F, Petition for Relative or Fiance(e), with the Regional Service Center of the United States Bureau of Citizenship and immigration Services (USCIS). Such petitions may not be processed abroad. The approved petition will be forwarded by the USCIS to the American consular office where the foreign fiance(e) will apply for his or her visa. A petition is valid for a period of four months from the date of USCIS action, and may be revalidated by the consular officer.
