Marriage-Based Immigration Attorney In Fort Worth, Texas
Can I Bring My Fiancé To The United States?
So, you’ve fallen in love with someone who isn’t a U.S. citizen—and now you’re planning to take the beautiful step of getting married. If your dreams include beginning your life together in the United States, you might consider that your fiancé could be eligible for a K-1 visa. This visa allows you to bring your partner to the U.S. so that you can tie the knot within 90 days of their arrival. Alternatively, if you’ve already exchanged vows, your spouse can pursue the family-based immigration process to come to the U.S. and ultimately seek permanent residency through a green card, ensuring a more stable future together.
Once the blissful proposal is behind you, one of your first steps should be to consult with an immigration attorney who has experience in navigating this complex process. While the path to bringing your loved one to the U.S. is undoubtedly manageable, it can also be time-consuming and may entail meeting specific requirements that your partner must satisfy along the way to ensure a smooth transition.

What Can an Immigration Lawyer Help Us With?
While it’s possible to apply for a K-1 visa on your own, the process can take significantly longer if anything is missed or incomplete. Every requirement must be followed exactly, and even small mistakes can lead to delays or additional requests from immigration officials.
Working with an immigration attorney can help take some of the stress off your shoulders, allowing you to focus on your wedding while the legal steps are handled with care. Making sure your petition is complete, accurate, and properly documented can make a real difference in how smoothly the process goes.

What Happens During the Fiancé Visa Application Process?
To begin the process, you’ll need to file a petition with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Along with it, you’ll submit an Affidavit of Support (Form I-864), which is a legal promise to provide financial support for your future spouse. It's important to understand the long-term responsibility that comes with signing this form—even divorce does not automatically end your obligation. This support usually continues until your spouse becomes a U.S. citizen or has worked for about ten years (40 quarters).
Once your petition is approved, your fiancé will need to attend a visa interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate in their home country. Depending on their situation, they may also need to meet certain medical requirements to complete the process.
After they arrive in the U.S., you must marry within 90 days. This timeline leaves very little room for error, and coordinating everything can feel overwhelming. ARC Legal Services, LLC works with couples to help guide them through each stage—both leading up to the wedding and on the path toward a green card.
