The K-1 status indicates your fiancee is a fiancée of a U.S. citizen. As such, the foreign fiancee may be eligible for a Social Security number and for employment. To apply for a Social Security number:
•     Complete an Application For A Social Security Card (Form SS-5); and
•     Show documents proving the following: Immigration status; Work eligibility;  Age; and Identity.

•     Take your application and original documents to your local Social Security office. If you live in the New York City metropolitan area, Las Vegas, Nev., Orlando, Fla., Phoenix, Ariz., or Sacramento, Calif., you may need to apply in person at your local Social Security Card Center.

All documents must be either originals or copies certified by the issuing agency.

The child of a fiancé(e) may receive a derivative K-2 visa from his/her parent’s fiancé(e) petition. The American citizen petitioner, must make sure that s/he names the child in the I-129F petition. After the marriage of the child’s parent and the American citizen, the child will need a separate Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status. The child may travel with (accompany) the K-1 parent/fiancé(e) or travel later within one year from the date of issuance of the K-1 visa to his/her parent.  If it is longer than one year from the date of visa issuance, a separate immigrant visa petition is required.

Key points:

• The child must be unmarried.

• The stepparent/stepchild relationship must be created before the child reaches the age of 18.
