Visas for Children, Fiances, and Fiancees
U.S. immigration law allows U.S. citizens to petition for travel visas for their loved ones. This includes fiances, fiancees, spouses, and children. K1, K2, K3, and K4 visas allow U.S. citizens to petition so their loved ones will be allowed to immigrate to the United States. A New York City fiancee visa attorney at Garganigo, Goldsmith & Weiss can help you gather the documents and complete the necessary forms to obtain a K visa for your loved one.
K1 and K2 visas for foreign fiances and fiancees
A U.S. citizen may petition U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to issue a K1 visa, allowing a fiance or fiancee to legally enter the country. K2 visas allow the children of your fiance or fiancee to enter the country. A K1 visa allows your fiance or fiancee to enter the country for up to 90 days in order to participate in a marriage ceremony. Once the marriage has been completed, your fiance or fiancee may apply for permanent residency with the help of a New York City green card lawyer.
In order for your fiance or fiancee to qualify, you must be an American citizen. You also must intend to marry within 90 days of your fiancee or fiance entering the country, and in most cases you must have met each other in person at least once within the preceding two years. The children of your fiance or fiancee may qualify for a K2 visa so long as they are unmarried and under the age of 21. To ensure the prompt unification of your family, contact the immigration law firm of Garganigo, Goldsmith & Weiss to speak to a fiancee visa lawyer in New York City to help you with the process.
K3 and K4 visas for spouses and children of spouses
K3 and K4 visas allow the spouses of U.S. citizens and their children to legally enter the United States while USCIS evaluates their immediate relative petition. A U.S. citizen may petition for a K3 visa on behalf of a non-resident spouse. In order to qualify for a K3 visa, a person must be married to a U.S. citizen and must have an I-130 petition pending with USCIS. If your spouse qualifies for a K3 visa, the children of your spouse also qualify for a K4 visa so long as they are under the age of 21. K3 and K4 visas are valid while a petition is pending with USCIS. If USCIS ultimately denies that request, K3 and K4 visas expire 30 days after that action.
