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.
To begin the K-1 fiance visa process, you file a petition at the USCIS office having jurisdiction over your current or intended residence in the U.S. There is a filing fee of $535 for the petition. The children of your Fiance must be listed in the petition even if they will not be traveling at this time.
