United States Fiance Visa Requirements

The following are the basic requirements to obtain a Fiance Visa:
The petitioner must be an American citizen;
The petitioner and beneficiary must be free to marry (widowed, divorced or never married);
The petitioner and beneficiary must have met in person within the 2 years immediately preceding the date of filing the Fiance Visa petition;
The petitioner and beneficiary must establish the that they have a genuine romantic relationship.

My clients have never had a problem with this requirement. We know how to document the relationship for the USCIS;
The petitioner must have an income sufficient to satisfy the Fiance Visa affidavit of support. In most cases a co-sponsor is sufficient if the petitioner does not have enough income.

Requirements to Obtain a CR-1 Marriage Visa

The petitioner must be a US citizen;
The petitioner and beneficiary must be legally married;
The petitioner and beneficiary must establish the romantic bona fides of the relationship (prove that the marriage was not entered into for immigration purposes);
The petitioner must be able to meet the income requirements of the Marriage Visa affidavit of support (I-864).

 

Fiance Visa Affidavit of Support Requirements

Stable Income History
The American citizen petitioner must establish a history of stable earnings. Specifically, the petitioner must provide at least one tax return showing at least the minimum required income. VA benefits, retirement benefits, Social Security retirement or disability are all good and valid sources of earnings for the purpose of the fiance visa affidavit of support.

The petitioner must execute the fiance visa affidavit of support at the end of the case in time for the foreign fiance to bring the executed affidavit to her interview.

U.S. Domestically Based Earnings
The income to satisfy the affidavit of support must be from U.S. based earnings. There is an exception for U.S. military stationed or on deployment abroad, and also for Department of Defense Contractors.

Assets Instead of Earnings
Generally, the consulates abroad do not accept proof of assets (instead of earnings) to satisfy the affidavit of support requirements. We have had some success in obtaining fiance visas in cases where the petitioner had substantial assets and limited income.

Co-sponsorship for the Affidavit of Support
Generally the consulates will accept a co-sponsor to satisfy the fiance visa affidavit of support requirements.

Amount of Earnings
For purposes of the fiance visa affidavit of support, earnings are defined as income after business deductions as reported on your personal income tax returns. The amount of income required is based on poverty guidelines published by the Department of Health and Human Services and is based on the number of dependants you have.

To obtain an approved fiance visa you must have stable earnings greater than the published poverty guideline numbers.
