K-1 Fiance Visa

Do you want to apply for a K-1 visa for your British fiancé? The K-1 visa application process is the same for British citizens, just like it is for other applicants. Additional information on K-1 waiting time, cost, and requirements are available within Our Love Visa’s K-1 guidelines.

Green Cards through Marriage

If you are already married or thinking of getting married in the near future, you may be planning on applying for a marriage-based Green Card. The wait times, fees, and requirements vary based on the location where you live, where the British spouse is applying from, and if the spouse who is sponsoring them is either a U.S. citizen or a Green Card holder. Additional information is available in Our Love Visa the marriage-based Green Card guide.

Immigrating with children

K-2 Visas

Will your British fiancé’s kids move to the U.S. with your fiancé? If you’re planning to go with the route of a K-1 fiance visa, then your fiancé’s children will need to get the K-2 visa. The K-2 visa is for children of your British fiancé to travel to the United States and immigrate with your fiancé.

Our Love Visa can assist you in including any children of your K-1 fiancé, who are under the age of 21 and not married, at no additional charge with the Premium Package. Find out more about Our Love Visa‘s services to assist.

IR-2 Children Visas

If a child of a U.S. citizen lives in the UK, it could be possible to get them a green card by using the IR-2 process. Further details on the procedure and requirements are available in Our Love Visa’s guide to IR-2.

U.S. Embassy Information

All immigrant visa applicants from the UK are processed by the U.S. Embassy located in London:

U.S. Embassy London

To schedule K-1 or spousal visa interviews, applicants from the UK must go through the Visa Appointment Service website and follow the step-by-step instructions. UK applicants might be able to find this interview guide useful.

Immigrant visa steps for approval

If approved, applicants from the UK are issued an immigrant visa and get their passports returned through an Embassy-approved courier. To ensure there are no delays in the delivery, applicants should sign up at the address of their courier before the date they make an appointment for their visa interview. When the visa process is completed and the delivery arrangement has been made the courier will notify applicants via email and/or text with the delivery tracking details.
