If you have a foreign citizen fiancé(e), you will need to file the I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) petition (K-1 nonimmigrant visa) to bring them to the U.S. to marry them. For your application to be approved, you need to present certain pieces of evidence.
Here is what you need to submit:
Evidence of your U.S. citizenship
You must prove you are a U.S. citizen. You can provide a copy of your birth certificate, a copy of your naturalization or citizenship certificate, a copy of Form FS-240, a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA), a copy of your unexpired U.S. passport or a statement issued by a U.S. consular officer verifying you are a U.S. citizen with a valid passport.
Evidence that you are both not married
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) needs to verify that you are both legally free to marry when filing the petition. Therefore, submit evidence proving you have legally terminated any previous marriages. These include a final divorce decree, an annulment order or a death certificate for the prior spouse.
Evidence that you and your fiancé(e) have a bona fide intention to marry
You must prove the relationship is genuine – you are not doing this solely for immigration purposes. Therefore, submit evidence of shared life, including photos of you together, communication records, proof of trips together, address of a shared residence, joint financial commitments, birth certificates of children you share and so on.
Evidence of intention to marry within 90 days
The USCIS requires evidence that you intend to marry your fiancé(e) 90 days after they enter the country. You can submit a signed letter and proof of wedding plans, such as vendor receipts, invitations and honeymoon bookings.
