Fiancee Visa: Marrying in the U.S. within 90 Days

10. October 2009 by admin.

Fiancé(e) status automatically expires after 90 days. It cannot be extended. Sometimes the relationship doesn’ t work out or the foreign fiance(e) doesn’t adjust well to American culture and wishes to return to his/her home country. In this situation, the foreign fiancé(e) should leave the United States at the end of the 90 days if the two of you do not marry. If your fiancé(e) does not depart, he or she will be in violation of U.S. immigration law. This may result in removal (deportation) and/or could affect future eligibility for U.S. immigration benefits.

Moreover, U.S. immigration regulations will not allow him or her to marry another U.S. citizen and then apply for a green card. This is designed to deter folks from abusing the K-1 fiance(e) visa.

If you are in a relationship with a person who entered the U.S. on a fiance(e), but you are not the original sponsor, contact our law office at (626) 77-1078.  We’d be happy to discuss with you the different options that may be available to your fiance(e). The possible options available will depend on how long your fiancee has been in the U.S. and whether he/she has been out of status. Call us or visit our website at www.myfianceevisa.com
