Success Stories: Permanent Residence Granted to adjustment of status applicant who entered on a K-1 Fiancee Visa from the Dominican Republic

In order to obtain a K-1 fiancé(e) visa, you and your fiancé(e) must intend to marry each other within 90 days of your fiancé(e) entering the U.S as a K-1 nonimmigrant. After the marriage, your fiancé(e) may apply for lawful permanent resident status in the United States (a Green Card).
We recently had an approval for an adjustment of status application (getting U.S. permanent residence while in the United States) for a Dominican national who entered on a K-1 Visa after subsequently marrying her U.S. Citizen fiancé, at the Queens field office of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Congratulations to our clients!
We initially assisted our clients with their K-1 Visa application which permits a foreign-citizen fiancé(e) to travel to the United States and marry their U.S. citizen partner within 90 days of arrival. After the marriage, they may apply for lawful permanent resident status in the United States (a Green Card). In this case, our clients married within the 90-day period and we filed the adjustment of status application with documentation that establish our client’s eligibility. The application was approved based on our paper submission and without an interview.
If you are a U.S. Citizen and would like to petition for your foreign fiancé(e) to travel to the United States to get married and have questions, please contact us for a consultation. Follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Tumblr, for up-to-date immigration news.
