Fort Worth, TX Fiancé Visa Lawyer

Supportive Immigration Attorney for Fiancé Visas in Fort Worth, TX

If you want to help your fiancé(e) immigrate to the United States, petitioning for a K-1 visa may be your best option. However, filing for this visa requires much paperwork and approval from USCIS. A Tarrant County immigration lawyer can help you and your engaged partner fill out a petition for a fiancé visa and apply for lawful permanent resident status.

At The Meza Law Firm, PLLC, we understand the legal troubles that may arise during the immigration process. Attorney Edwardo Meza is here to assist with the forms and paperwork associated with a K-1 visa and the legal adjustment of immigration status after your marriage.

Terms of a K-1 Visa

Compared to other relative visas, K-1 visas are short-term, only lasting 90 days. During this period, you must marry your fiancé(e). Afterwards, your spouse can apply for an adjustment of status to get a green card.

To qualify for a K-1 visa, you must meet certain requirements. First and foremost, you must be a U.S. citizen in order to obtain a visa for your fiancé(e). Second, you must be able to legally marry within the U.S., with any prior marriages terminated by annulment, divorce, or death. Lastly, you and your engaged partner must have met in person within the last two years, though exceptions can be made if this would cause you extreme hardship or if it would violate an important tenet of your or your fiancé(e)'s culture.

At The Meza Law Firm, PLLC, we can evaluate your case to see if your partner is eligible for a K-1 visa. With our help, you can complete the visa application process successfully.

Applying for a K-1 Visa

As part of your application for a fiancé visa, you will have to file Form I-129F with USCIS. If your form is approved, your fiancé(e) will have to apply for a K-1 non-immigrant visa and attend a visa interview.

When your fiancé(e)'s visa is approved, they can enter the United States at an official port of entry. Finally, after your marriage, your spouse can request an adjustment of status with USCIS for lawful permanent residency. This is accomplished by filing Form I-485. Immigration authorities may interview you and your spouse before making a judgment about a green card.

Our immigration attorney can provide you and your partner with legal advice and representation as you file for a K-1 visa. We can sit down with you to fill out the paperwork for a fiancé visa to reduce the chances of a rejection.

Reasons Why K-1 Visas Get Rejected

Petitions for K-1 visas can be denied for any number of reasons. Your application may be rejected if:

• You and your partner have not met in person within the last two years
• You do not have sufficient proof of your intent to marry, as this could raise concerns of marriage fraud
• Your partner is ineligible for a visa due to past criminal convictions or immigration violations, such as crimes of moral turpitude, drug crimes, or overstaying on a visa
• Your fiancé(e) carries an infectious disease or is not up to date on necessary vaccinations
• You do not meet the minimum income requirements to support your partner

We will review your application thoroughly to catch any errors before filing, including any healthcare requirements or issues related to income.
