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.
If all goes well at the interview, the fiance visa (K-1) will be issued. Once the fiancÃ© visa is issued, the immigrant has six months in which to use it to enter the U.S., and then another 90 days in which to get married.
