Fiancé Visa Basics
What is A Fiancé Visa?
A Fiancé Visa (officially known as a K-1 Visa or Fiance Visa) is a non-immigrant visa that allows the foreign fiancé of a United States Citizen to enter the United States for the sole purpose of getting married. They are generally considered the quickest way to legally bring a foreign fiancé to the U.S. with the intention of marriage and immigration. There are a few requirements and steps you should know before applying, however, an experienced fiance visa attorney can work with you throughout the process and ensure you get your Fiance Visa as soon as possible.
Fiancé Visa Requirements
Generally, to qualify for a K-1 Visa petition filing and the eventual issuance of the K1 Visa:
The petitioner must be a U.S. Citizen.
Non-U.S. citizens are ineligible to petition on behalf of their foreign fiancees for a K-1 Visa. If you are a Legal Permanent Resident (Green Card holder) or a U.S. Citizen that is already married, please click here for more information on how to bring a foreign spouse to the United States: Spouse Visas;
Both parties must be free and able to marry.
This means any prior marriages have been terminated by annulment, divorce or death. Both parties must also be of legal age to marry or meet specific state law exceptions.
The petitioner is limited to the number of times they may file an I-129F petition.
A U.S. Citizen may only file one k1 petition (also known as the I-129F petition) within any two year period and is limited to a total of two I-129F petition filings in their lifetime, unless a waiver is granted;
The “bonafides” or authenticity of the relationship must be properly documented and demonstrated.
Items demonstrating this may include, but are not limited to, photos of the couple together and with friends and family members, communications, travel evidence, engagement or wedding plans, etc.
The couple must have met at least once in-person within two years prior to the K-1 Visa petition filing.
At least one in-person meeting between the couple must take place within two years prior to the filing. While there are in-person meeting waivers granted by the USCIS, they are extremely difficult to obtain and must meet very strict requirements.
The couple must express their intentions to marry each other.
Each partner must sign a document affirming their intent to marry within 90 days of the foreign fiancé's arrival in the U.S.;
No arrests or convictions for specific crimes.
The U.S. Citizen and / or fiancee can’t have specific types of crimes on their records (including ones “expunged” or where they are told the record “no longer exists”) that could render them ineligible to petition or to apply for the K1 Visa;
The petitioners must meet a minimum level of income.
The U.S. Citizen sponsor must meet statutory income requirements based upon their personal income on recent tax returns equaling at least 125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. They may also use certain assets to offset any deficiencies in income. A joint sponsor may be used as well if the sponsor cannot meet this requirement on their own.
What Are The Necessary Steps To Get A Fiance Visa?
There are two major steps to get a K-1 Visa for the United States:
1. I-129F Petition Filing at USCIS
The first step involves the filing of an I-129F Petition by the U.S. Citizen (also known as the “Petitioner”) on behalf of the foreign citizen fiancé (also known as the “Beneficiary”). This petition is filed with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
It must be sent to the appropriate USCIS mail distribution center which is currently the Dallas, Texas lockbox. Once it is received, it is forwarded to the appropriate USCIS Service Center for further processing. Currently, the vast majority of I-129F petitions are sent to and adjudicated out of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) California Service Center.
2. US Embassy Processing and Issuance of the Fiancee Visa
Once the USCIS has approved the I-129F Petition, the second step involves the filing of the foreign K1 Visa application, which includes several forms, evidence of a bonafide relationship, a medical examination, police and security clearances, an affidavit of support, other evidence, the foreign fiancee’s interview with a consular officer and the eventual issuance of the K-1 Visa at his or her country’s U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
How Long Does A K-1 Visa Take?
In order to determine how long it takes to get a Fiancee Visa, you would simply add the estimated time it takes to get the I-129F Petition approved at the USCIS, the National Visa Center, and the estimated time to have the visa issued at the US Embassy abroad.
You can learn more about specific times by clicking here: K-1 Visa Processing Times. With our firm's specialized expertise with Fiancé Visas, we ensure expedited preparation and processing for your case.
How A K-1 Visa Works When Issued
The foreign fiancé is free to enter the United States once a valid K-1 Visa is issued. The K1 Visa is valid for a 6 month period and good for one entry into the United States. Once the foreign fiancee enters the United States., the marriage between the U.S. Citizen and the Foreign fiancé must take place within 90 days of the foreign fiancee’s entry.
If the foreign fiancé does not marry the U.S. Citizen within 90 days, or if he or she marries someone other than the U.S. Citizen Petitioner, the foreign fiancee must leave the United States after 90 days.

I applied for my husband who’s from Yemen in March 2023 and he arrived in June 2025. Without the help of Allison and Solomon’s team my husband wouldn’t have been here this quick and smoothly. Allison has helped us the entire journey and answered all questions asked.
Allison quite literally changed our lives. From the very beginning, she treated my husband and I’s case with the care, expertise, and compassion that made ALL the difference. Immigration processes can be so overwhelming, deeply emotional, and at times, disheartening/discouraging—but having Allison by our side gave us not only hope but confidence that we were in the very best hands.She was always responsive, patient, and thorough—walking us through every step, answering every question (no matter how small and silly), and making sure every detail was handled with total precision. More than just a paralegal, Allison was our advocate and our steady hand during one of the most if not the most important journeys of our lives.Thanks to her tireless work and dedication, our future now feels secure, full of possibility, and brighter than we ever imagined. We are forever grateful. If you are lucky enough to work with Allison, know that you have someone truly special in your corner for life.
I’m so thankful to Solomon Immigration Law, especially Catie, for being such a kind and supportive presence throughout my immigration journey. She was always there with warmth, answers, and encouragement—it truly made all the difference.Michael also gave us a great start with his guidance and care. I felt supported by both of them from beginning to end.Thank you, Michael and Catie, for helping me through such an important chapter in my life. I’ll never forget it.
Solomon Immigration Law did a fantastic job to help get my wife here with me asap. Tamara did a great job guiding us the whole way through. I am forever grateful. I highly recommend.
Just finished a 2.5 year journey for my husbands marriage visa and he is in the USA with me now! I'm very happy with the service provided by Solomon Immigration Law and have recommended them highly to my friends on immigration chat groups and Facebook groups. Immigration is a lengthy process these days, and making mistakes on submitting documents can cost you more time. So I was glad to have assistance in this area, not to mention all the anxiety that goes along submitting correct documents. Solomon Immigration was with us every step of the way. We got an initial consultation with lawyer ,Mr. Solomon(who mentioned that he has been through this process himself, and brought his wife to USA from another country). After I paid a flat fee, we were assigned a paralegal that helped us through the whole process and submitted ALL of our paperwork for us. From USCIS, NVC and Embassy. Our embassy was really picky and put us on Administrative process after his first interview, (nerve wracking) But our paralegal continued to work with us and submitted more documents. 2nd interview we got visa approved, thank God! For 2.5 years paralegal was always available to us through email, phone and Zoom calls. It's amazing how many questions you will have in this journey! And they were patient and understanding and answered all of our questions. Before his interview he was assigned a lawyer for prep call. I was listening in on the call and was shocked by my husband giving wrong answer to just about everything,lol. But that was good because he and I worked together to get it right, before his interview. At the interview he was fully prepared, and even though they didn't ask him many questions, he was able to give a quick and correct answers, so the prep really helped. Special shout out to Catie Carmago and Jennifer Funez, our paralegals, who were with us from beginning to end, even helping us AFTER he got to the States when we couldn't figure out ID numbers to apply for green card, also was given recommendation to apply for Social security card with his temporary visa, instead of waiting 2 months for green card to come in the mail. We would not have known this information if it were not for our paralegal helping us. Special thanks to Michael Solomon for this wonderful service. The reason I chose this law firm is because immigration is their specialty, that's ALL they do. (Other companies do DUI, accidents, etc.mixed with immigration) The other reason is because they charged one flat fee, so after we made initial payment, we didn't have any other fees. So that was great that after flat fee was paid, we didn't have to worry about any more fees for service. But what I especially like was the kindness, respect and support we received consistently for 2.5 years. And my husband now resides with me in the USA! Very happy with the results, very grateful. Thank you soooo much, Solomon Immigration Law! Forever Grateful 🙏
We’re so grateful to have worked with Solomon Immigration Law for our green card process. From start to finish, they were clear, organized, and incredibly supportive! Especially during such a personal and emotional chapter for us.Catie helped us feel confident and prepared every step of the way, and we really appreciated how responsive and thoughtful she and the team were with our questions. We got approved right on our interview!Can’t recommend them enough if you’re looking for a trustworthy and kind team to guide you through this journey.
It started by making an appointment where we spoke with the lawyer and explained our situation. He was very personable and professional. We didn’t have cash all on hand at once so we were allowed to make payments which was so appreciated and convenient. After we paid our fees our case was put forward and the team there told us everything we needed and what to expect. They did not try to predict or promise a certain time frame they just explained check the USCIS website but please be patient their times can change. Next is the NVC process and again we were told everything to collect and things of that nature. Again we were told the time frame can vary depending on the NVC processing and the local embassy. This is much appreciated as they don’t give false hope or make useless promises. They were just honest and strait forward. we appreciate the hard work the team there dose.
My experience with Solomon Immigration Law was great. Especially with Allison Feliciano helping/guiding me through the whole process. She was easy to talk too but not only was she friendly but very knowledgeable as well. Allison was able to clarify all my questions and was very responsive. She truly made a significant impact to my life and I will forever be grateful! It’s always great working with someone when they truly care about your situationI hope to work with Allison again in the near future for any immigration matter. Definitely recommend! - Danny Reyes
My wife and I went with Solomon Immigration Law to help us with our case and could not be happier with how the process went. Our paralegal Allison was phenomenal and truly guided us through the process with clarity. If you are looking for a legal service to help with your marriage case I would strongly recommend Solomon Immigration Law and ask for Allison to be your paralegal. She will guide you through the process step-by-step. Be willing to put in the work and you will yield a positive result!
Absolutely incredible experience thanks to Allison Feliciano.Even though Allison is “only” a senior paralegal, she’s more knowledgeable, responsive, and effective than many attorneys I’ve worked with. She guided us through an incredibly overwhelming immigration process with clarity, care, and patience. From the initial filing all the way to approval, she was consistently supportive—answering every question, catching important details, and making everything feel manageable. Our case was approved quickly and smoothly, and I truly believe her diligence made a real difference. So grateful for her work.
It was smooth, Allison thought ahead and listed all the documents i would be needing for all the steps (so i wouldn’t need to do more preparation in the later steps), and then i just wait for letters from the USCIS, and go to appointments and then boom it was done just like that. I appreciate it.
Stephanie Salgado did an amazing job on my wife’s spousal application for the beginning to the end. I was very helpful and available at any time.
My husband and I had a great experience with Solomon Immigration Law. Solomon was kind, knowledgeable, and guided us through every step of our green card process. The service was affordable and very supportive. We’re so happy with the outcome and highly recommend Solomon Immigration Law to anyone needing immigration help.
I had the opportunity to work with a wonderful legal team, they were there to answer my questions in the time of panic whereas they explained not all cases are the same when filing even though we use they same papers of this experience. They were able to help me to remain patient and their professionalism was exceptional. I would highly recommend this firm to other immigrants who needs assistance with the immigration process. 🥰🥰💯💯
Solomon Law helped us through the whole immigration process. Without them I don’t know how I would deal with the US offices and all the paperwork. Appreciate their help!
My husband and I got married in January 2024 and shortly after started working with Allison at Solomon Immigration Law. She was kind, professional, and so helpful with everything. My husband got his green card July 2024 which was only 3 months from the date we submitted all of our paperwork. I would 100% recommend Solomon Immigration law to anyone looking into getting a green card!
I’ve been with Michael Solomon since the beginning of my immigration journey, and his support and guidance have been invaluable. He assisted me with every step—from my K1 visa and conditional green card to the removal of conditions and, finally, my citizenship. Thanks to him and his team, Tamara and Paul, I was well-prepared for every USCIS interview and ready for any questions that came my way.Today, I successfully passed my citizenship interview and will soon receive a letter with the date for my oath ceremony.A huge thank you to Michael and his team—this wouldn’t have been possible without you!
The Solomon Law team, specifically Allison Feliciano, were professional, organized, and responsive! They made the process very simple and efficient.
They were amazing. Our contact Tamara helped us so much. She was always timely in responses and even worked outside normal businesses hours in responding sometimes. She deserves mere them just a positive review. We had a hiccup on the immigrants side but Mr. Solomon and Tamara were able to get that resolved and my wife finally got approved for her green card. It was made. I highly recommended this agency. They helper us with everyone from step one from paperwork and getting everything organ and mailing it to immigration. If I could give more then 5 stars I would.
I am honoured to share my outstanding experience with Solomon immigration law office. They are truly amazing, very professional, helpful, and dedicated to all our concerns throughout our journey. Mr. Solomon and Catie made our K1 journey easy with the organization of the paperwork. I began my K1 process in March 2023 and got my visa in April 2024 to come to the States. I started my green card process in October 2024 and received a green card with in 4 months February 2025 without an interview. I can tell you one thing Catie was very patience with me because my now wife and I had a lot of questions throughout the process and she was happy to answer every last one of them. I will definitely be using them for the next stage.. I am so grateful. Thank you again to all the stuff at Solomon Law.
We are delighted to have been assisted with our fiancée visa by Solomon Immigration. It was a smooth process. Miss Allison facilitated and kept us updated with every step we went through up until we arrived in the USA. We are continuing with Solomon Immigration and Miss Allison to our next steps with our immigration process.
We started our journey on 2021 with Michael Solomon and finally applied on 2022 through his law office for Fiancé visa. It was wonderful experience with him and his professional team. All are very professional and very friendly to go ahead. They were trying to understand our needs and gave us time when its require. They handle every documents with top priority even in covid-19 lock down situations. I received my Fiancé visa within 22 months, its delayed due to covid-19 backlog and received Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status within 8 months.We strongly recommend Solomon Immigration Law office for any kind of USA visa.Best wishes to Michael Solomon and his respected teammembers.ThanksZahid & Rubia
My application got approved in only 5 months with no issues. Im so happy and satisfied for the help I received during this process from Mr. Solomon and Stephanie. They are AWESOME!. 10/10 Fully recommend. Thank you
The K1 process was a long process, but the Solomon Immigration team was able to give us guidance from the K1 to the Green Green card. Emails were always responded to. Zoom meetings were helpful. I was happy to have an attorney's office that dealt strictly with US immigration. I would hire them again.
Got k1 in just 5 months and then just 5 months for green card after filed in the US. Very prompt and professional. We’re glad we used solomon immigration.
This was excellent and straight forward service. My Attorney’s name was Allison and she was very helpful and informative through all stages of my green card application, I was able to get my green card 10 months after sending off my application. I highly recommend going with Solomon immigration and more specifically with Allison!
Excellent - thank you! We were 100% satisfied. Clear, well managed and efficient process overall. Information gathering and document signing using the portal. Always available for a 1:1 phone call at short notice if we had questions or concerns. Personal interaction with paralegal assigned, who answered emails quickly and efficiently. Process starts with a personal call with Mr Solomon. He personally reviews and signs off on all submissions before they go to the USCIS. Clearly the firm has years of experience with US visas and also they are focused only on these. Would not hesitate to use them again.
The assistance that I received from the law firm was impeccable. They stayed with us the entire time and navigated us through the process switch ease. I have recommended them several times through word of mouth. Mr. Solomon was so reassuring, even during the last meeting before my husband’s interview. Tamara Vickers is an absolute jewel. She was so patient every time I called and was always answering my questions with professionalism. I called her crying hysterical right before my husband’s interview because of anxiety, and she talked me off the ledge🤣🤣🤣🤣. He had his interview on February 14th 2023 and has been here for almost two years. I really can not thank this team enough.
Solomon immigration law came as advertised i am beyond grateful!!!! my greencard was approved in record time 5 months!!!! when we applied for adjustment of status which was amazing,to my paralegal Elizabeth Cortez who made sure we had the right paper work and always there to calm me down when I was panicking at times,I would recommend solomon immigration law firm to anyone who is starting their process, you will be in safe hands.thank you Solomon immigration law for your good work, great ethics and always having sincere concern for your clients, always communicating on time when needed to,my husband and I are super excited thank you again.
Solomon Immigration Law was very professional, helpful and fully understanding for any hold ups while we collected the needed paperwork. They assisted my husband and I for the entirety of our case, from collecting the paperwork, creating the case, submitting and waiting for additional news on the application. We cannot thank them enough for their assistance, especially Tamara who was a great help. Thank you again and can't wait to contact them in the future for our continued new steps.
Soloman Immigration Law was very helpful in navigating the K1 visa process. They answered our questions and took us through the process with no issues. We definitely recommend that anyone looking for K1 visa help contact Solomon Immigration Law
My fiance Kristina and I are so happy to have chosen Solomon Immigration Law services to apply for a K1 visa. It all happened so fast after we applied on April 2024, and on the 10th of December my fiance was able to attend her interview and successfully get approved. On our side we had Allison Feliciano who worked closely with us to help prepare us and get all our documents in order. She would organize all our documents, answer all our questions, when there were delays with immigration she got ahead of it made sure everything was on track. Everything went smoothly thanks to Solomon and Allison. If you have doubts don't be afraid to call them, that is what I did as this was my first time working with someone online. One thing that I remember from Solomon after speaking to him was that if he worked with me he would make sure my case got approved and he would not just take my money. That helped me conclude my search for someone who would help with my K1 visa to get approved.Next step for my fiance and I is to get married and get her green card when she is here with me. We are happy to continue that process with Solomon and Allison, and we can't wait to get started!
The entire process went smoothly thanks to them. They were excellent and were very helpful throughout. Elizabeth Cortez was our paralegal and was awesome. I would definitely recommend their services.
Amazing firm, well worth the cost! Allison was great every step of the way and made things simple and easy for us to understand, her availability was top-notch as well! Will be utilizing their services in the future as well!
Thanks for making our dreams a reality, highly recommended… they help guide you step by step and are always available to answer any questions or concerns. I love how you can make payments so it makes the process more affordable..thanks for everything Solomon Immigration Law team <3.. K1 visa #2024
I don't normally write reviews and I'm not the best at it but, I just wanted to make a post to say thank you so much to the team at this law office. They didn't gouge us, they always responded, and were super friendly and knowledgeable, reassuring even when we had dumb questions along the way.They make you work just as hard as they do, to provide as much evidence to ensure you have a speedy time frame. We filed July 1st 2024 and everything was finalized with cards produced on November 21st! Bonus with no interview needed!I'm not saying this will be the same for everyone's case but they will definitely get you the best possible outcome!Special shoutout thanks to our paralegal Stephanie from Samantha and Keegan!
I am thrilled to share my outstanding experience with Solomon Immigration Law regarding our recent visa application process. From start to finish, their professionalism and dedication were evident, making what could have been a daunting journey remarkably smooth and efficient.The team at Solomon Immigration Law, especially our assigned Paralegal, Elizabeth Cortez, demonstrated an exceptional understanding of immigration law and provided clear guidance every step of the way. They were always available to answer my questions and took the time to explain each part of the process thoroughly. Their attention to detail and commitment to my case ensured that everything was handled promptly and accurately.I was particularly impressed with their proactive approach and timely updates, which kept me informed and at ease throughout the entire process. Thanks to their expertise, my fiancé’s visa was approved in just about 8 months, a testament to their skill and efficiency.I highly recommend Solomon Immigration Law to anyone seeking assistance with immigration matters. Their dedication to their clients and deep knowledge of the law makes them an invaluable partner in navigating the complexities of the immigration process. Thank you, Elizabeth and everyone else at Solomon Immigration Law, for your help making our dream a reality!
The immigration system is totally overwhelming. Personally I would not of been able to accomplish this daunting task on my own. They answered the countless questions we had. Allison was extremely knowledgeable and very kind. I couldn’t be any more impressed they really know what they’re doing. I highly recommend Solomon immigration law and will use them again in the future. CR1 and CR2 visas. Thanks really!
I am so glad I hired Solomon Law. The way they set up their system is very clean and simple, basically you upload all documents and answer questionnaires in a cloud website then they add it to the forms to create the packages sent to immigration. You get to review everything and sign before they are sent out. Wait times can be crazy waiting on immigration but we had peace of mind knowing and understanding where we were in the process. There was a little hiccup with a change if staff but it was resolved right away. If you have a question they answer usually within a day. Our process was completed in less time than quoted from K1 application to Green Card in hand. They also helped speeding up the process to submit the the Green Card application before the prices went up saving us over 1k.
An excellent immigration law firm. My Wife and I we helped every step of the way with our immigration case by the courteous and capable paralegals at Solomon Immigration Law Firm. We highly recommend them to help with immigration cases.
We had the best experience and helped every step of the way! Stephanie did a fantastic job after taking over for Rory! K1 to Adjustment and we finally had our case closed and my wife received her greencard other day! Thank you Solomon Law for all your help and see you in 18 months and we will use you again to handle the next step!
They were amazing helping out with my green card application and made the process super simple and smooth. They were also available anytime to address my questions. Have since recommended them!
I am incredibly satisfied with the service provided by Solomon Immigration Law. They are always on top of things—meticulous, organized, and consistently reliable. Whenever I send a package, they promptly acknowledge receipt, even on weekends, which gives me great peace of mind. Allison, my paralegal, was exceptionally thorough, making sure every detail was covered. Their dedication and attention to detail are truly amazing. I highly recommend Solomon Immigration Law for their outstanding service!
We are so glad we chose Solomon Immigration to help us with our I-485 application.

Any time we had questions she was quick to respond to our emails.This firm knows what the USCIS requires for documentation. We just provided the information to them & they put it all together & submitted our application for us.If we could give more than a 5 star review we would. They deserve it. We highly recommend Solomon Immigration to anyone that needs their services.We are so grateful for them.
Seamless experience. The team successfully got the job done with no hindrances!! Would definitely recommend to anyone seeking an immigration attorney!
10/10 experience and even referred a friend going through the same thing (marriage visa)I'm from NYC and my wife is from Toronto. Neither of us had any contacts or referrals for a good immigration lawyer. We were the first people in our group of friends and family to go through this life event.We found Solomon Immigration Law on google and were a bit cautious at first since we couldn't meet the team in person (Solomon Immigration is located in Florida).Mike got on the phone, gave my wife and I a very detailed explanation of the process in layman's terms, and then we decided to partner with Solomon Immigration.Over the next few months, we were partnered with Catie Camargo, Senior Paralegal. She was with us every step of the way and answered every question we had no matter how trivial they were. Catie was also very patient with the way she responded to our questions. That was a HUGE plus since we all know how stressful this process can be - waiting for the EAD...the advanced parole....wondering when our spouse can finally start working and travelling etc.We had people telling us that we could have filled out the immigration forms ourselves and saved money. The team I worked with was worth every penny and I wouldn't have changed a thing.If you want to do it right the first time, then hire Solomon Immigration.
I trusted the reviews from google and I was extremely happy that I did. Mr Solomon and Allison were very helpful throughout my whole K1 visa process and happily answered any questions I had. Me and my fiance are currently approved and the visa is issued as of a few days ago. I would highly recommend calling Mr Solomons law firm for this process because its one of those processes that you really don't want to mess up on or you could be waiting months more than you originally thought. But go with these guys they really care and you can tell they love their jobs getting loved ones together. Thanks Allison and Mr.Solomon!!!
My fiancée in Thailand and I started our K1 visa process in May of 2023 and she passed her interview in August of 2024.Allison Feliciano was our paralegal and she made it easy to collect the required evidence and make sure all paperwork was correct prior to submitting the documents.With the help of her and Solomon Immigration Law we had no delays and can start our life together much faster than anticipated.They worked with me remotely from South Dakota, so I recommend their services to anyone in the country looking for fiancée visa or marriage visa legal services.
Update: I used them again for adjustment of status and received the same stellar experience as with the K via process. I will be using them again for removal of conditions and the citizenship process. Highly recommend!!Original: As an immigrant navigating the complexities of the K visa process, my experience with Solomon Immigration Law was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, they treated me with the utmost care and professionalism, making me feel valued and understood throughout the entire journey.They were always considerate of my schedule and ensured that communication was streamlined, regardless of the time zone differences. This level of flexibility and understanding greatly alleviated any stress I had about the distance and time constraints.What truly stood out to me was how they went above and beyond to accommodate my unique circumstances.I worked primarily with Rori and throughout the immigration process, she displayed a genuine concern for my well-being and future prospects in the country. She made sure I fully understood each aspect of my case, (very) patiently answering all my questions and addressing any concerns I had along the way. This personalized attention and care made me feel like more than just a client; I felt like I had a dedicated advocate on my side.Moreover, the attorney, Michael Solomon, exhibited a deep understanding of the intricacies of immigration law, and he confidently navigated any challenges that arose during my case as he ensured that I was prepared for my consular interview. This expertise and knowledge brought me immense peace of mind and made me feel entirely confident on interview day.If you're an immigrant seeking legal assistance with a K visa, these guys are the real deal. I am forever grateful for their help in bringing my little family together.
Very awesome experience for anyone to marry outside the US. The process was simple and well worth it!
Họ thật là tuyệt vời. Họ giúp chúng tôi rất chi tiết. Tôi đã có thẻ xanh sau 3 tháng apply. Mọi thứ rất tuyệt

My husband received his green card in about 6 months with no issues and all for a reasonable fee!
Very professional! Stephanie explained The whole process. Mr Solomon was awesome. Thank you so much!!

My review is based solely on my personal experience with Solomon Immigration Law services.From the beginning....... I started my search for immigration help back in 2021. In my search I came across Solomon Immigration Law and decided to make the call. My first call was with Michael Solomon, we talked for a good 25 minutes, Michael is definitely a laid-back, down to earth guy. He briefed me on immigration laws and gave me advice on what would be the best route to take for me and my wife and even told me a little about his own experience with immigration. At the end of the conversation I was convinced this was the immigration law firm I wanted helping me bring my wife home with me. After making the payment I was appointed a paralegal that was going to help me with this new chapter in my life, we were so excited and beyond happy! But due to some communications issues with three paralegals that had left the firm and/or promoted I was not aware of this fact and had lost some communication. But, it was just a small bump and within about 3 days we finally got our first notification from USCIS letting us know that they received our documents. Allison F. was there for us on everything, any questions we had, she had an answer for, she even went and contacted NVC to see what was up with our case, like a week or so later, we got an email, it was from NVC, it contained our interview date! Finally, after so much wait we finally had a date for the interview. Because of Allison I am considering staying with this firm, yes she was that good! Thank you Allison for all your help! Hope to have you as our paralegal in the near future! I highly recommend Solomon Immigration Law to anyone looking for immigration help, I've already recommended and passed on the firm's info to three people that were looking for help.
My husband and me had the pleasure of working with Solomon Law Firm's for my husband immigration case, and I can confidently say that they are one of the best immigration lawyers in the field.One of the most impressive aspects of the service was their meticulous attention to detail. They carefully reviewed all my documents, ensuring that everything was in perfect order before submission. This thoroughness was crucial in avoiding any delays or complications with my application and most of all the case took 8 months without any interview,.I highly recommend Solomon Law Firm's to anyone in need of an immigration lawyer. A big special thank you to the Paralegal Elizabeth Cortez for preparing the Documents .
I had a great experience with Solomon Immigration Law. Me and my husband worked with Allison and went through the adjustment of status process and it got approved very quickly without any complications! Can definitely recommend :)
Solomon Immigration Law was amazing to work with! All out communications as done through email (except for the initial call). They were very responsive to all our questions and concerns. I would recommend them to anyone who needs an immigration lawyer!
They were awesome. They were with us every step of the way. And even after the whole process they still help with questions that we needed answers too. I highly recommend anyone to hire them that’s trying to immigrate to the US.
Michael and his staff helped me in a case that required an extra effort and they did a great job. If I had to do it again I would certainly choose them again
I could not be happier with the legal services provided by Mr. Solomon and paralegal, Katie Carmago. It took me a couple of months to gather documents and complete the immigration packet. Katie was a stickler for detail. God bless her! Once they submitted the packet, my wife received permanent residency in just under four months. I believe their efforts are why they are so successful in their practice and I am honored to recommend them.
Very Helpful, fair pricing and gets my job done.. Finally me and my wife meet and happily married thanks to Solomon

I'm so thankful for Michael Solomon and his team (Rori and Stephanie). They were extremely supportive and answered all my questions.

Amazing is the only word I can use
I can only say good things about this law firm. They have the whole process worked out where it’s as easy to navigate as possible. This is not an easy process and the paralegal’s have walked with me step by step the entire way. They’re always available to take calls and answer questions. I couldn’t have made this happen without them. Mr. Solomon has always been great to work with on payments if something arises. They are worth every penny and I would recommend anyone getting ready for this process to use Mr. Solomon! Special thank you to Allison and Tamara for all their hard work!!
It's an understatement how awesome the K-1 service was from Solomon Law. Completely streamlined process, eventually we got hooked up with Allison who was a rock star when it came to all the guidance and the million questions my fiance had ;) Rarely have I felt that my money was spent as well as this, my life has been highly upgraded and this group deserves a lot of the credit!
I want to Thank Michael and Tamara for all of their hard work in getting my Wife and Daughter here to the United States. Even though it took 3 years for them to get here, because of the Pandemic. But Michael and Tamara stuck with us all the way through with Everything. They were like Family. I would definitely recommend Solomon Immigration Law to all my Friends and Family!!!! 🙂🙂
This law firm is the best .Mike and Team are awesome. They will make sure all your immigration issues are taken care off..I will recommend them 110%.They know thier stuff....
We worked with Allison Feliciano, she explained us the entire process and answered all our questions. As a result, my husband green-card was approved in 7 months. They offered a really competitive price. We will use them again in the future.
Muy buena firma de abogados, atención, amabilidad, credibilidad, Muy buena atención y dedicado con su trabajo. Gracias por el asesoramiento para poder obtener mi visa. Gracias
Frequently Asked Questions About The K-1 Fiancé Visa
Are K-1 fiancé Visas ever issued to couples who have not met in person?
There are extraordinary and extremely limited circumstances in which I-129F petitions are approved and Fiancee Visas have been issued to couples who have never met in person.
For example, Fiancee Visas may be issued under rare instances where a couple has not met in person if the petitioner has a severe medical condition that makes it virtually impossible for them to travel. In this case, the petition would require that a waiver of the in-person meeting be requested and granted.
Can K1 Visas be extended or renewed after the initial 90 days of entry if there is no marriage?
No. If there is no marriage within the 90 days of entry, there are only two legal options: 1. If the couple still wish to marry, they could still marry each other but must then file an additional petition at the time of the filing for the adjustment of status to a marriage green card. 2. If the U.S. Citizen and fiancee have decided they will not marry at any time in the future, the foreign fiancé must leave the country immediately.
If the foreign fiancee leaves the country, they may not re-enter the U.S. again under the same U.S. fiance Visa. They may, however, re-enter the U.S. after approval of a completely new K-1 Visa by starting the entire process again with the same Petitioner or a new Petitioner.
Can I work with a K-1 Fiancé Visa?
Yes, after you marry you can apply for a work permit by completing Form I-765 (Application for Employment Authorization) at the same time you file your I-485 Form (adjustment to Legal Permanent Resident status aka the “green card”). Once issued, your work authorization is valid for a maximum period of 5 years or until your marriage green card is issued. Once the green card is issued you no longer require a work permit to work. If you have additional questions reach out to an experienced immigration lawyer for more detailed answers.
Can I travel once I enter the United States with a K-1 Fiancé Visa?
You may travel within the United States after you enter. However, you may not leave the United States until after you marry, apply for, and receive, a travel permit by completing Form I-131 (Application for Advance Parole) at the same time you file your I-485 Form (adjustment to Legal Permanent Resident status aka the “green card”).
Once issued, your travel authorization is normally valid for a period of 1-2 years, unless it is issued a “combo card” (with work permit) and may be renewed until your marriage green card is issued. Once the green card is issued you no longer require a travel permit to re-enter the United States.
Can same-sex couples apply for a Fiance Visa?
Yes, same-sex couples can apply for a Fiancé Visa (K-1 Visa) to the United States. The process is the same as for opposite-sex couples. As long as the couple meets the eligibility requirements and can provide evidence of a genuine relationship, they can apply for a Fiancé Visa regardless of their sexual orientation.
What are the most common reasons a K1 Fiance Visa might get denied?
K-1 Fiancé Visa applications undergo a thorough examination, which could result in denial for various reasons. Common causes include incomplete or incorrect documentation, medical or criminal issues, poor interview experiences, or insufficient evidence of a genuine relationship.
Discrepancies in provided information or not being able to meet or exceed the income requirements (or not presenting them properly) can also lead to denial, as can failure to resolve previous marriages. All of the above emphasizes the need for visa applicants for meticulous preparation and adherence to legal requirements with the assistance of an experienced marriage visa lawyer to improve your chances of success.
