Understanding the K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa Process in Dallas
Procedure for filing a fiancé(e) visa:
- The U.S. citizen submits a visa petition, Form I-129F, and includes proof of citizenship status and that the couple met in person within the previous two years.
- When USCIS approves the application, the petition is sent to the National Visa Center who will forward the case to the U.S. Consulate where the foreign fiancé(e) lives. The foreign fiancé(e) will need to attend an interview and bring the required documentation. He or she must also complete a medical examination and receive vaccinations.
- Once a case has been processed and approved, the fiancé(e) in the foreign country will be given a passport with the K-1 visa.
At Akula & Associates P.C., our Dallas immigration lawyers can assist U.S. citizens who are seeking to bring fiancé(e)s into the United States. We provide smart and efficient guidance to facilitate the application process.
What Happens If My Fiancé(e) and I Do Not Marry Within 90 Days?
If you and your fiancé(e) on a K-1 visa don't marry within the 90-day period specified by the visa, it can lead to serious consequences. The primary purpose of the K-1 visa is to allow your fiancé(e) to enter the United States so that you can marry. If the marriage does not occur within this time frame, the visa status becomes invalid, and your fiancé(e) will be expected to leave the country promptly.
Failure to marry within the 90 days can result in overstaying your visa. You may be considered "out of status," making you ineligible for most immigration benefits and potentially subject to deportation.
It's crucial to communicate with your fiancé(e) and, if necessary, seek legal advice if unexpected circumstances arise that might prevent you from marrying within the allotted time. Extensions are rarely granted, so planning your wedding carefully and adhering to the visa requirements is essential to avoid complications.

"They handle the legal process in a professional way."Thank you for all your help and patience with my H1B. You made a difficult time a little easier and less stressful, which I greatly appreciate. Ambreen was very helpful in our immigration process and her efforts and work helped us to achieve our most important goal, which is a future for ourselves and our child in the United States. It was a great experience to work with such a professional. We always felt that she was reachable either by e-mail or by phone. We were very impressed with her way of doing business and how she tracked and controlled every issue such that our immigration process went well. She was very responsive, constantly reviewing and checking for the documents needed to carry on the process. They handle the legal process in a professional way, and the treatment is friendly with the clients, which makes it easier and more enjoyable. They always follow up with all the steps throughout the process and kept me informed of the outcomes and further documents needed for the next steps, which made me stay one step ahead of the process to help ensure the desired outcome. Really glad to have her and Akula associates as my attorney in our successful visa applications. We look forward to working with her again for our future legal needs.- Priya

"I truly love their staff!"My journey started with Akula & Associates exactly 10 months ago. Came to know about them through a friend, casually called, impressed with their profile and signed up contract for services. Last 10 months we filed several cases and each case they treat like a completely new customer and examine each document thoroughly, advise and make us on top of the things. I truly say sincere THANKS for their great service. I truly love their staff. My paralegal Yezenia is awesome, attorney Toki is wonderful. Yet to work more with GC team, Shirin and Christie, great work experience so far. Last but not least Attorney Kavitha is Great!!! I hope I get the same level of service for me and employees for coming years!!! Good luck to Akula & Associates !!- Venkat C.
