If you are looking to travel to the U.S. you'll want your intentions to be clear.

We often encounter clients who are trying to figure out if they should apply for a K-1 Fiance visa or a B-2 Visitor visa.

At VISANOW, we give our customers as much information as possible so that they can make the best decision for their situation.

Here are some pros and cons for both the visitor visa and the fiance visa.

B-2 Visitor Visa:

Your Intentions

As we mentioned last week, it really comes down to your intentions. The fiance visa is for individuals that are coming to the United States for to be married. The visitor visa is for individuals looking to come to the United States for a temporary stay.

Both visas require an interview at the U.S. Embassy or consulate and the interviewing officer will be looking to discern your intentions. When it comes to visitor visas the interviewing officer will presume that you are planning on staying in the United States on a permanent basis. You will need to make a strong case for your intentions.

If you are planning on getting married during your stay in the United States, it may take more time to wait for the K-1 fiance visa, but it has a much higher chance of being approved.

No matter what visa you need, VISANOW will build the best possible case for why your application should be approved.

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.

*Approval is not guaranteed in any given case; approval depends on the specific facts and legal circumstances of each case. This excludes B-2 visas.
