Sterling Heights, Michigan Marriage-Based immigration Attorney Serving Clients Nationwide
Can I Bring My Fiancé To The United States?
If you’ve fallen in love with someone who is not a United States citizen and you plan to get married, there are legal pathways that may allow you to build your life together in the U.S. A fiancé (K-1) visa allows your fiancé to enter the United States for the purpose of marriage, provided the wedding takes place within the required timeframe. If you are already married, your spouse may be eligible to apply for a visa and, eventually, lawful permanent residence through the family-based immigration process.
While the fiancé and marriage-based immigration process may seem straightforward, it involves detailed requirements, forms, and deadlines that must be carefully followed. At Valeo Law in Sterling Heights, Michigan, immigration attorney Alberto Delgado helps couples understand their options and complete each step of the process correctly.
If you are ready to begin the process of bringing your fiancé or spouse to the United States, contact Valeo Law today to discuss your situation and take the next step toward building your future together.

What Can an Immigration Lawyer Help Us With?
Although it is possible to apply for a K-1 fiancé visa without legal guidance, the process can take longer due to the number of detailed requirements involved. Both you and your fiancé must meet specific legal criteria and submit thorough, accurate documentation at every stage of the application.
Working with an immigration attorney can help reduce stress and minimize delays, allowing you to focus on planning your wedding while the legal process moves forward. At Valeo Law in Sterling Heights, Michigan, Alberto Delgado helps ensure fiancé visa petitions are complete, properly prepared, and clearly presented, which can help avoid unnecessary requests for additional evidence or processing delays.

What Happens During the Fiancé Visa Application Process?
The fiancé visa process begins with filing the required petition, along with supporting forms such as the Affidavit of Support (Form I-864). This document carries significant legal obligations, including a long-term financial commitment to your spouse that may continue even in the event of a divorce, until certain legal conditions are met. Understanding these responsibilities before signing is an important part of the process.
Once USCIS approves the petition, your fiancé must attend an interview at a U.S. consulate or embassy in their home country to receive the visa. Depending on the situation, medical examinations and other requirements may also apply. After your fiancé enters the United States, the marriage must take place within 90 days, as required by law.
Because this process involves strict timelines and detailed coordination, having clear legal guidance can make a meaningful difference. At Valeo Law in Sterling Heights, Michigan, immigration attorney Alberto Delgado helps guide couples through each step of the fiancé visa process and the transition to permanent residence after marriage.
