What are the criteria for receiving a fiancé visa in the United States?
There are several different requirements that you must meet to obtain a fiancé visa in the United States. The following contains the standards that the United States requires an individual to meet:
- You will need to ensure that after you enter the United States, you will not become a public charge. You must prove that your future spouse’s income satisfies or surpasses 100% of the US poverty guidelines.
- You must show proof that you have known your future spouse for a minimum of two years before you file. To confirm this, you can provide photographs, text messages, email communications, and more.
- You will have to attend an interview, medical examination, and background check.

What can happen if I do not get married within 90 days of admission into the United States?
If you do not get married within 90 days, there is an increased chance that you will be refused your credentials to enter the United States and become a United States citizen. Because you are only to be given access into the United States based on marrying a K-1 visa petitioner, failing to do so within the given 90 days, will likely ban you from obtaining this right. Yet, in some cases, if you can show that you married your spouse within 90 days, even if you divorced later, you may seek a green card without the help of your spouse (the K-1 petitioner). Nevertheless, this is not always guaranteed, especially if it is found that you were only marrying to get entry into the United States.
