If you are engaged to somebody that lives outside of the United States, they are eligible for a K-1 visa that will grant them 90 days in the U.S.

Eligibility requirements for a K-1 fiancé(e) visa:

• The petitioner for the fiancé(e) must be a U.S. citizen (not a permanent resident)
• The couple must intend to marry within 90 days of the fiancé(e) entering the U.S.
• Previous marriages by both parties must be legally terminated
• The petitioner and fiancé(e) must have met at least once within 2 years of filing the petition, unless you meet the exceptions

Procedure for filing a fiancé(e) visa:

• The U.S. citizen submits a visa petition, Form I-129F, and includes proof of citizenship status and that the couple met in person within the previous two years.
• When USCIS approves the application, the petition is sent to the National Visa Center who will forward the case to the U.S. Consulate where the foreign fiancé(e) lives. The foreign fiancé(e) will need to attend an interview and bring the required documentation. He or she must also complete a medical examination and receive vaccinations.
• Once a case has been processed and approved, the fiancé(e) in the foreign country will be given a passport with the K-1 visa.
