Marriage-Based Immigration Attorney In Clarkston, Georgia
Can I Bring My Fiancé To The United States?
You’ve found someone special who isn’t a U.S. citizen, and now you’re ready to start your life together here in the United States. If you’re engaged, your fiancé may be able to come to the U.S. on a fiancé (K-1) visa. If you’re already married, your spouse can apply for a family-based visa and, eventually, a green card through the U.S. immigration process.
After your fiancé says yes, one of the most important calls to make—after letting your family know—is to an immigration attorney. While the process is straightforward in many ways, it can be lengthy and involves specific steps that must be carefully followed.

What Can an Immigration Lawyer Help Us With?
While it is indeed possible to apply for a K-1 visa without the assistance of legal professionals, it’s important to understand that navigating this complex process often takes considerably longer when you are going it alone. There are numerous crucial details that must be addressed accurately to ensure everything goes smoothly. Both you and your fiancé need to meet every single requirement diligently to avoid any potential delays in processing your application.
Having experienced guidance throughout this intricate process can significantly minimize your stress and often lead to a quicker resolution, allowing you to devote your attention to the more enjoyable aspects of planning your wedding. The intricacies of ensuring that your fiancé visa petition is complete with all the required documentation filled out correctly can truly make the difference between receiving an approval and facing an extended wait time.
Furthermore, taking the DIY route can lead to costly mistakes that might hinder your progress and slow down the entire procedure. To safeguard against these issues and streamline your application process, schedule your K-1 visa consultation with Immigration Law Offices of Tewodros Dinsa, LLC today. Let the professionals help guide you through the process with ease and efficiency.
What Happens During the Fiancé Visa Application Process?
First, you’ll need to file a petition. Along with that, you must submit the Affidavit of Support (Form I-864). This form is a serious commitment—by signing it, you agree to provide financial support for your spouse. This responsibility remains even if you later divorce, at least until your spouse becomes a U.S. citizen or has worked 40 quarters.
After USCIS approves the petition, your fiancé will attend an interview at a U.S. consulate or embassy in their home country to get their visa. They may also need to meet certain health requirements as part of the process. Once your fiancé arrives in the U.S., you must marry within 90 days—there are no exceptions to this rule. Coordinating all these steps takes careful planning and attention to detail.
