How do I apply for a visa for my fiancé(e)?

If you are looking to apply for a visa for your fiancé(e) in the state of Pennsylvania, you will need to file Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e), with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This form must be submitted along with other required documentation, such as proof of both parties’ identity, birth certificate, proof of relationship, and other forms regarding financial support. Furthermore, the couple must have met in person in the last two years before filing this form, or have a waiver provided for this requirement. Once Form I-129F is approved, your fiancé(e) will receive a visa interview at the nearest U.S. Consulate or Embassy. The couple will need to provide documentation that proves the relationship is genuine and legally valid under the immigration laws. This includes documents such as proof of a romantic relationship, joint bank accounts, and affidavits from close relatives and friends, as well as copies of emails and text messages. If all the criteria are met and the visa is approved, your fiancé(e) will receive a conditional residency visa, which is valid for two years. During this time, you and your fiancé(e) must submit Form I-751, Petition to Remove the Conditions on Residence. If approved, your fiancé(e) will receive a permanent residency visa and be able to stay in the United States.

Para aplicar para una visa de novio(a) para su pareja en Pensilvania, primero debe completar un Formulario I-129F o Petición para un Familiar Extranjero. Esta petición debe presentarse a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). USCIS usará esta información para verificar que su relación es genuina. Una vez aprobada la Petición de Familiar Extranjero, su pareja tendrá que presentar una solicitud para una visa K-1. Esta solicitud debe presentarse a la embajada o al consulado estadounidense más cercano a su país de origen. Asegúrate de incluir la documentación necesaria como pruebas de relación, historial de viajes y otros documentos. La documentación adecuada puede variar según el país. Además, su pareja debe someterse a una entrevista con un funcionario consular. Durante la entrevista, el funcionario solicitará información adicional y confirmará la relación para determinar si la visa K-1 es apropiada. Si el funcionario consular aprueba la solicitud, su pareja recibirá una visa K-1 para ingresar a los Estados Unidos. Una vez que su pareja llegue a los Estados Unidos con la visa K-1, debe presentar una solicitud de estatus de residencia permanente dentro de los 90 días. Esta solicitud debe presentarse a USCIS y debe incluir la prueba de su relación para demostrar que la unión es genuina. Si USCIS aprueba la solicitud, su pareja recibirá una tarjeta de residencia permanente.
