Because a fiancée visa permits the holder to immigrate to the U.S. and marry an American citizen shortly after arrival in the United States, the fiancée must meet some of the requirements of an immigrant visa, including, but not limited to:

  • A passport valid for travel to the United States and with a validity date at least six months beyond the applicant's intended period of stay in the United States (unless country-specific agreements  provide exemptions);

  • Birth certificate;

  • Divorce or death certificate of any previous spouse for both the applicant and the petitioner;

  • Police certificate from all places lived since age 16;

  • Medical examination (vaccinations are optional, see below);

  • Evidence of financial support (Form I-134, Affidavit of Support may be requested.);

  • Two Nonimmigrant Visa Applications, Form DS-156 (A Form DS-156, prepared in duplicate.);

  • One Nonimmigrant Fiancé(e) Visa Application, Form DS-156K;

  • Two nonimmigrant visa photos (each two inches 50 X 50 mm square, showing full face, against a light background);

  • Evidence of a fiancé relationship;

  • Payment of fees.

After getting the fiancée visa, your fiancée enters the U.S. through a U.S. immigration port-of-entry. The U.S. immigration official gives your fiancée instructions on what to do when he/she enters the United States. You must get married within 90 days of your fiancée’s entry into the United States.
