Marriage-based Immigration
Bring your beloved to the U.S. to live the American dream together
Marriage-Based Immigration Attorney In North Carolina
Can I Bring My Fiancé To The United States?
If you’ve fallen in love with someone who isn’t a U.S. citizen and plan to begin your life together in the United States, the K-1 fiancé visa allows you to bring your future spouse here legally. This visa grants your fiancé permission to enter the U.S. so that you can marry within 90 days of their arrival.
If you’re already married, your spouse may instead apply for a visa through the family-based immigration process, which can eventually lead to lawful permanent residence (a green card).
At The Emory Law Firm, P.C., we understand that immigration and marriage are both major life decisions — and we’re here to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. The K-1 visa application requires specific documentation and steps that must be completed accurately and in order, and our attorneys will guide you through each one.
Once you’ve said “yes,” your next step should be to get trusted legal guidance. Contact The Emory Law Firm, P.C. today to learn how we can help you bring your fiancé to the U.S. and begin your new life together.

What Can an Immigration Lawyer Help Us With?

Our team ensures that your petition is complete, correctly worded, and supported by all required documentation, reducing the risk of unnecessary setbacks.

What Happens During the Fiancé Visa Application Process?
The first step in bringing your fiancé to the United States is filing a petition with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Along with that petition, you must submit an Affidavit of Support (Form I-864) — a document confirming that you will provide financial support for your fiancé once they arrive.
It’s important to understand that by signing this affidavit, you take on a serious legal responsibility. Even in the event of divorce, your obligation to provide financial support generally remains in place until your spouse becomes a U.S. citizen or completes 40 quarters of work (approximately ten years). Once your petition is approved, your fiancé will attend an interview at a U.S. consulate or embassy in their home country. They may also need to meet certain medical and health requirements before the visa is issued. After receiving the K-1 visa, your fiancé can enter the United States — but you must marry within 90 days of their arrival, without exception.
Because this process involves multiple agencies, strict timelines, and detailed documentation, having a knowledgeable legal team can make a big difference. At The Emory Law Firm, P.C., we help couples stay organized, meet every requirement, and move smoothly from visa approval to marriage and, ultimately, to permanent residency. If you’re ready to start your life together in the United States, contact The Emory Law Firm, P.C. today to begin the K-1 visa process.
