FAQ
The First Step Toward an Immigrant Visa: Filing the Petition The first step is to file a Petition for Alien Relative, Form I-130, with the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for your spouse (husband or wife) to immigrate to the United States.
Form I-130 processing time is currently estimated at 14 months ing to the USCIS processing time website. This timeframe could change depending on several factors. Most of our clients get approval before this timeframe. National Visa Center (NVC) processing time could take anywhere from 3 weeks to several months.
Required Documentation Passport(s) valid for six months beyond the intended date of entry into the United States, unless longer validity is specifically requested by the U.S. Embassy/Consulate in your country. Affidavit of Support (I-864, I-864A, I-864 EZ, or I-864W, as appropriate) from the petitioner/U.S. sponsor.
Typically, a K-1 fiancé(e) visa allows for quicker entry into the United States, whereas a marriage-based visa (also called a spouse visa) accelerates the green card process. In 2024, the processing time for a K-1 visa application (Form I-129F) is 4-7 and the processing time for a CR-1 spousal green card is 10.8.
Marriage to the U.S. citizen is the most common and fastest way of getting a green card for a foreign national. If a foreign national marries the U.S. citizen abroad, the foreign national becomes an immediate relative of the U.S. spouse regardless of the place where marriage took place.
The K1 visa is generally known for its quicker processing time compared to the K3 visa. On average, it takes about 6 to 9 months for the entire process, from petition filing to visa approval. However, processing times may vary based on the workload of the specific U.S. embassy or consulate.
For most cases, you may request an expedite by contacting the USCIS Contact Center or by asking Emma. (You can access Emma by clicking on the Ask Emma icon on the top right of this page). You need to explain why you need expedited processing.
