What is the K-1 Visa?
The K-1 visa allows a foreign fiancé(e) of a U.S. citizen to enter the United States for the purpose of marriage. However, once the visa holder arrives, the couple must marry within 90 days to comply with immigration regulations. Learn more about the K-1 visa requirements from the U.S. Department of State.
