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.
1 In this case, if the Beneficiary is an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen, the U.S. Citizen sponsor can file an immigration petition (Form I-130), and the Beneficiary can file an Application for Adjustment of Status (Form I-485) at the same time. Yes, she can. 2  Once you file a form I-130, your spouse is eligible to apply for a nonimmigrant K-3 Visa. 3  This will entitle her to come to the U.S. to live and work while the visa petition is pending. 4  However, it is not necessary for your wife to obtain a K-3 visa in order to come to the U.S. to live and work.
