About this service
The K-1 fiancé(e) visa is a narrow-purpose visa: it exists to let the foreign-citizen fiancé(e) of a U.S. citizen enter the United States for one reason — to marry within 90 days of arrival. It starts with a U.S. citizen filing Form I-129F to petition for their fiancé(e), which requires demonstrating a genuine relationship and, generally, that the couple has met in person within the required timeframe. DocPrep prepares the I-129F petition and helps organize evidence of the relationship's history and the couple's intent to marry, from how the relationship began through the current stage of the engagement.
Who this may apply to
- U.S. citizens who are engaged to a foreign-citizen fiancé(e) living abroad
- Couples who plan to marry in the United States within 90 days of the fiancé(e)'s arrival
- Couples who have met in person and can document the history and development of their relationship
What DocPrep can help prepare
- Preparing Form I-129F based on the petitioner's and beneficiary's relationship history
- Organizing evidence of a bona fide relationship, such as communication records and photos together
- Helping document the in-person meeting requirement with travel records or similar evidence
- Explaining the general next steps after I-129F approval, including the National Visa Center and consular interview stages

Prepare for next steps
After approval, the case moves to the National Visa Center and then to a consular interview abroad.
Documents you may need
Requirements vary depending on your situation. Commonly requested information may include:
- Proof of the petitioner's U.S. citizenship
- Evidence of at least one in-person meeting within the required timeframe (photos, travel itineraries, boarding passes)
- Evidence of an ongoing relationship (communication records, correspondence, photos together)
- Divorce or death certificates for any prior marriages of either party
- Statement of intent to marry within 90 days of the fiancé(e)'s arrival
Important notes
- The K-1 visa can only be used to enter the U.S. to marry the petitioning citizen within 90 days of arrival — it is not valid for any other purpose and cannot be extended for that purpose.
- DocPrep prepares the petition and organizes evidence but does not attend the consular interview or guarantee approval.

Processing times are set by USCIS, the immigration court, or the relevant government agency, not by DocPrep. You can check current USCIS processing times using our Check Status tools or on the official USCIS website.
The specific documents depend on the service and your individual situation. Common examples include identity documents like a passport or birth certificate, prior immigration notices or receipt numbers, and civil documents such as marriage or birth certificates for family-based filings. After you submit a request, our team will confirm the exact checklist for your situation.
