USA Fiancé(e)/Spouse Visa (K-1/K-3)
Relationship-based nonimmigrant K categories. Fee differs from standard MRV.
About this visa
K visas are relationship‑based categories (fiancé(e) / spouse‑related). These routes are usually more document‑heavy than visitor visas because the main question is whether the relationship is genuine and the timeline makes sense.
Typical structure: you’ll prepare civil documents, relationship evidence (photos, travel, chats, timeline), and case‑specific sponsor/petition documents. Be ready to explain how you met, key dates, and future plans.
Timing note: K categories have their own petition + consular steps. Do not assume the same workflow as a B visitor visa.
Comparison: family routes differ widely by country. Compare evidence expectations with UK family and Canada family sponsorship.
