Probably the first question all my clients ask about the K1 visa is "how long does it take." There are several resources online that you can look at which provide some general answers to this question. I've provided some links to those resources within this article. However, the answer to this question is "it depends."

Preparing the Case for Filing

There are a lot of unscrupulous websites out there that sell immigration related services including immigration law forms. All USCIS immigration forms are free and available for download on the USCIS website. Be sure that you use only forms downloaded from the USCIS site. Other forms may be out-of-date.

The K1 visa process is actually 3 separate but related processes. Each process requires the preparation and filing of various petitions and supporting documentation to either the Department of State or the Unites States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS.) The 3 processes are: 1) K1 USCIS Processing; 2)Consular Processing; and 3) Adjustment of status. This article will discuss each phase of the process in further detail.
