1 US citizenship!  The first step in the K-1 visa process is for the US citizen fiancÃ©(e) to file Form I-129F, Petition for Alien FiancÃ©(e). Form I-129F is to be filed on behalf of the foreign citizen fiancÃ©(e) applicant. The purpose of this USCIS form is to show evidence of your relationship and also to provide an Affidavit of Support.
K-1 Visa Instructions. US visas are available for fiancÃ©(e)s of US citizens. The K-1 fiancÃ©(e) visa allows your foreign-national fiancÃ©(e) to travel to the US to marry. You must get married within 90 days of his/her arrival. After the marriage, the visa applicant is eligible for a two-year conditional Green Card, giving him/her conditional permanent resident status.
