    By using the K1 Fiancée Visa, a citizen of the USA is allowed to take a Filipina fiancée to his country – USA, stating his wish to marry her within 90 days after arriving. The visa is single-entry and non-immigrant category. It can be changed to an immigrant one in USA through the status of adjustment following the solemnization of the marriage.

    Eligibility:
    The applicant for this K-1 Visa has to be a citizen of USA and the fiancée, also referred to as the beneficiary has to be a Filipina national. In the case of a foreign national engaged in work in The Philippines petitioning for a K1, she has to submit her work-permit for her to be eligible for an interview at the Manila USA embassy.






    Requirements:
    1. Excluding religions issues, the applicant and his fiancée must have met each other at least two years prior to the application for visa.
    2. Procedure expects the applicant and the beneficiary to go through a criminal record checking for the K1 Visa.
    3. The fiancée otherwise known as the beneficiary has to undergo medical examination.
    4. The beneficiary must clear all the rules pertaining to inadmissibility to USA. The Grounds of Inadmissibility is stated in the website – USCIS.
    5. The beneficiary has to satisfy the financial requirements laid down. In the Affidavit of Support he has to show that income is 125% of the poverty line. Apart from the earnings, the assets and stocks owned by the petitioner, if any, together with other sources of incomes and or businesses owned by him are to be treated as proof of the financial capability of the applicant. This financial information is to be shown in his Affidavit of Support saying that the applicant has undertaken an oath to take on the legal and financial responsibility of supporting his Filipina fiancée while bringing her to live permanently in USA.
    6. The applicant and his Filipina fiancée have to legally free to marry each other.
    7. The applicant must have clear intentions of marrying his Filipina Fiancée within 90 days of arrival in USA.
    Many of the applicants do not understand that their fiancée would require plenty of help – particularly during the interview. One should bear in mind that a single error could lead to a dramatic refusal of the petition. Thus it would be prudent to seek advice and guidance from any legal firm that has expertise in USA immigration rules and would be able to assist in applying for K1 Visa.
