Can I Bring My Fiancé To The United States?
You’ve fallen in love with someone who isn’t a U.S. citizen, and now you’re ready to begin your life together. If you plan to marry in the United States, your fiancé may be eligible to come here on a K-1 fiancé visa. If you’re already married, your spouse may apply for a visa — and eventually a green card — through the USCIS family-based immigration process.
After your fiancé says “yes,” your next step should be to connect with an immigration attorney who can guide you through the process. Although applying for a K-1 visa is straightforward, it involves several detailed steps that must be completed correctly.
Pedro A. Lopez, based in Dallas and serving clients across the United States, helps couples navigate every stage of the fiancé visa process with care and attention. Get in touch today to start bringing your fiancé to the U.S. to begin your future together.

What Can an Immigration Lawyer Help Us With?
You can apply for a K-1 fiancé visa on your own if you choose to do so. However, it’s important to keep in mind that the process can take much longer than expected due to the numerous detailed steps that must be meticulously completed. Both you and your fiancé must meet every requirement precisely as outlined by U.S. immigration law to avoid any complications along the way.
Working with Pedro A. Lopez can significantly streamline the process, making it smoother and much less stressful for you. This allows you to focus on planning your wedding while he takes the reins in ensuring that your petition is both accurate and complete. Properly preparing your application — with the correct documentation, specific wording, and thoroughness — can truly make the difference between experiencing a quick approval and enduring months of additional waiting and uncertainty.
By avoiding costly mistakes and potential delays in your application process, you can save yourself time, money, and frustration. Don't leave this important step to chance; schedule your consultation for the K-1 visa with López Onna Abogado de Inmigración today, and take the first step toward bringing your dreams to fruition.
What Happens During the Fiancé Visa Application Process?
The first step in the K-1 fiancé visa process is filing a petition with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Along with the petition, you’ll need to submit an Affidavit of Support (Form I-864). By signing this document, you agree to provide financial support for your fiancé or spouse — a responsibility that continues even in the event of divorce, until your partner becomes a U.S. citizen or completes 40 quarters of qualifying work.
Once USCIS approves your petition, your fiancé will attend an interview at a U.S. consulate or embassy in their home country to obtain the visa. Depending on the situation, they may need to meet certain health requirements before approval. After arriving in the United States, you must marry within 90 days, without exception.
Because this process requires careful coordination and strict compliance with deadlines, Pedro A. Lopez helps couples stay organized and avoid costly mistakes. From the first petition to the green card that follows your marriage, he is committed to helping you and your fiancé start your life together with confidence.
