Important Information About Marriage & Fiancé Visas
Multiple options are available for US citizens to petition for their spouses, fiancés, and other family members to receive a visa. Below, we offer details about the different types of marriage and fiancé visas.
Marriage Visas
There are three types of marriage visas: the CR-1, IR-1, and K-3 visas. The CR-1 and IR-1 visas are similar in that they are eligible for individuals married to US citizens.
CR-1 visas are available if you and your non-citizen spouse have been married for fewer than two years. With this visa, your spouse must live in the US for two years to become a lawful permanent resident.
IR-1 visas are available if you and your non-citizen spouse have been married for over two years. By obtaining this visa, your spouse can immediately apply for lawful permanent resident status.
If you are a US citizen who has legally married outside of the US, you may be able to get a K-3 visa for your spouse. This type of visa is good for two years and allows you to seek visas for children who are not citizens.
