K-1 visa - Fiancee

The K-1 Visa, known as the Fiancée Visa, is used by

citizen must have personally met the fiancée within two years of the filing of the petition, unless waived by

immigration. The petition is filed with US immigration, which must approve the petition, which is then forwarded to the

Once the K-1 and K-2 visa holders are here and the K-1 holder has married the

U.S.

citizen petitioner, the K-1 can adjust status here along with the K-2 child. They do not have to file an I-130. It does not matter that the marriage took place after the child was 18. As long as the child is under 21, he or she can get their green card in the
