What is the process for filing an application for a K visa?

If you are applying for a K visa in South Dakota, the process is relatively simple. First, you must file a Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This form is required by a U.S. Citizen to establish a valid fiancé/fiancée relationship. Second, you must submit the required documents along with your completed application. These documents include a copy of your birth certificate, valid passport, documents proving the termination of any previous marriages, evidence of ongoing financial support from the U.S. petitioner, and evidence of the U.S. petitioner’s eligibility to petition for an immigrant. Third, you and the petitioner must attend an immigration interview. During the interview, the USCIS officer will ask questions to determine the validity of the relationship between you and the petitioner. Fourth, if the USCIS officer approves the petition, you will be given a K-1 visa and a notification letter that your visa was approved. The K-1 visa will allow you to enter the U.S. as a fiancé/fiancée of the U.S. petitioner. Finally, you must marry the petitioner within ninety days of entering the U.S. After the marriage is registered with the USCIS, you will be eligible to apply for permanent residence. Immigrating to the U.S. using a K-1 visa involves a complicated process, and it is important to ensure that you follow all steps correctly. Once all the necessary documents are gathered and the application is properly filed, you will be able to start the process of immigrating to the U.S. successfully.

El trámite para presentar la solicitud para una visa K es diferente dependiendo de si el solicitante se encuentra en los Estados Unidos o en el extranjero. Para los solicitantes dentro de los Estados Unidos, el primer paso es presentar la Solicitud de Petición de No Inmigrante (Forma I-129) al Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración (USCIS). Esta forma tiene que ser presentada y aprobada antes de que un cónyuge que resida en el extranjero pueda solicitar una visa en la embajada o consulado de los Estados Unidos. Esta forma también debe presentarse si el cónyuge del peticionario reside fuera de los Estados Unidos. Una vez que el USCIS haya recibido y aprobado la solicitud de I-129, los cónyuges tendrán que presentar una solicitud para una visa K-3/K-4 a la entidad consular o embajada designada. Para completar esta solicitud, los cónyuges tendrán que presentar una solicitud de visa, una fotografía tamaño pasaporte y documentos que prueben su relación marital, como un certificado de matrimonio válido. Los cónyuges también tendrán que someterse a un examen médico y pasar una entrevista con el Oficial de Inmigración de la Embajada o Consulado. Esta entrevista es una parte importante del proceso para determinar si se concederá la visa. Si la visa es aprobada, el consular le dará al solicitante una visa válida para los Estados Unidos.
