Marriage and Fiance Visas

The K1 visa enables US Citizens to bring their foreign fiance(e)s to the United States in order to get married. The K2 visa allows unmarried children (under age 21) of the fiance(e) to move to the US as well. The K1 visa is not an end in itself. It is only a single step in one of two established procedures for obtaining a visa to the United States based on a relationship involving marriage with a US Citizen (the other being obtaining an immigrant visa based on *already* being married to a US Citizen).
