The requirements for the K-1 fiance(e) visa under US immigration law are as follows:
1. US immigration law for fiance(e) visas requires that the US citizen and the overseas fiance(e) have met with each other in person at least once within the 2 years before petitioning for the K-1 Visa.
2. Both the US and overseas fiance(e)s, per immigration law, must in a bona fide fiance(e) relationship with intent to marry, and must be free to marry. Any prior marriages must be legally over.
3. The US fiance(e) must be able to financially support the overseas fiance(e) once he or she comes to live in the US.
4. Under US immigration law, the overseas fiance(e) must be admissible. A variety of factors in US immigration law affects this fiance(e) admissibility analysis.
5. A few other factors must be considered, such as whether the US fiance(e) has a criminal background, whether the fiance(e)s originally met through services of a marriage broker, or whether the US citizen has filed fiance(e) visa petitions in the past.
