NONIMMIGRANT FAMILY MEMBERS

Those admitted to the United States on a temporary basis may be able to bring family members with them. This permission varies depending upon the category under which the foreign national was admitted.

FIANCE PETITIONS

A fiancé (e) is a person who is engaged or contracted to be married. The marriage must be legally possible according to laws of the state in the United States where the marriage will take place. American citizens who wants to marry his/her foreign fiancé (e) in the United States must file a Petition for Alien Fiancé (e) in the United States with USCIS.

MARRIAGE VISAS

The K3 visa for the spouse of a United States citizen and K4 visa for the spouse’s children were created to reduce the separation between a US citizen and his or her foreign spouse while waiting abroad for an immigrant visa. The K3 and K4 visas allow the foreign spouse and his or her children to enter the United States as non-immigrants, re-unite with their family here, and then apply for permanent resident status (Green Card) while in the United States.
