Understanding the Fiance Visa Documents

Right from the first step of the fiance visa process there is a lot of paperwork involved on both sides, that is, on the petitioner's side and on the beneficiary's side. This visa process was incorporated into the American law to benefit the US citizens who want to get married to foreign fiance's in the US. However, due to sham marriages witnessed in the past, one has to go through rigorous documentation to establish the legitimacy of the intended marriage. However, if the relationship is genuine, the outcome is usually successful and the foreign fiancee, also called the beneficiary, immigrates to the US on the fiancee visa to get married to the US partner and become a permanent resident thereafter. However, there is always a possibility of a denial of the case. To avoid rejection, both the petitioner and the beneficiary must be well prepared to deal with the mountain of paperwork during all stages of the process.

The fiancee visa case constitutes a set of forms and specific supporting documents. The supporting documents must clearly establish that both sides are free to marry one another, that they have solid intention to marry within 90 days upon fiance's arrival to the United States, that they have physically met within the last two years and that they have a genuine relationship. Each case tends to be slightly unique and have its own specific circumstances, which you may not be aware of initially. Only an experienced professional can identify these potential concerns and prevent a rejection or delays in the future. For example: If the beneficiary does not speak any English our office advises him/her to sign up for an English class. Thus, we eliminate the possibility of rejection due to determination of the Embassy official that both parties are not able to communicate efficiently. Another example: police clearances for some countries take long time to obtain. Our office provides information regarding police clearances in advance to prevent any potential delays at the Embassy stage of the process. There are dozens of nuances, which you may not know until it is too late. Our office will ensure that all aspects of the process are handled effectively and that the process goes smoothly for you and your fiancee.

The fiancee visa is also called the K1 visa. Because of the deepness of the legalities involved here, there is need for a k1 visa lawyer so that one can be helped with this complex process. There is also a set of documents that must be presented at the US embassy at the time of the interview. This includes documents showing financial support, various DS forms, medical examination results, passport, birth certificates, police certificates from different places that the beneficiary has lived in since she was 16, evidence showing continuing bona fide relationship and so forth.

Remember that if there are any children that are willing to immigrate to the US along with the parent, for them to be considered, they must be below 21 years old and they must be listed in the petition. At the time of the interview the beneficiary must present all the paperwork to the officer. During the K1 visa interview, please be calm and answer every question honestly. Misrepresentation of any facts may immediately annul your chances of approval.

The fiance visa process requires experience and knowledge. Therefore it is advisable to retain a k1 visa attorney to handle the case and provide you with representation and legal advice.
