Are you trying to figure out if you should apply for a B-2 visa or a K-1 Fiance visa?

Our goal is to provide our clients with a visa recommendation that best suits their situation and provides the highest chance of approval.

Here are some things to consider before deciding on which visa you should pursue.

Apply for a K-1 Fiance Visa if You:

Have already met in person.

Are prepared to get married within 90 days of fiance’s arrival to the US.

Are looking for guaranteed approval.

Are not concerned about the longer processing times.

Find that price is not your primary concern.

Apply for a B-2 Visitor Visa if You:

Have not met and/or US citizen petitioner cannot travel abroad.

Are not ready for marriage.

Are willing to accept that B-2 visas are difficult to get approved.

Are looking for quick processing times.

Are planning a short and temporary stay.

Making Your Intentions Known

Since both of these visas require an interview at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate, it is important that your application clearly reflects your intentions for coming to the United States. When it comes to the B-2 visitor visa the interviewing officer will have the presumption that you are looking to make your temporary trip to the U.S. a permanent stay. Therefore, it is important to present strong evidence of your intentions for either visa.

If you need help determining which option may be best for you, please contact me at 312-935-7400 and we will figure out which visa works for you.
