Marriage-Based Immigration Attorneys In Florida
Can I Bring My Fiancé To The United States?
So, you’ve fallen in love with someone who isn’t a U.S. citizen—and now you’re ready to build a life together. If you plan to get married in the United States, you may be able to bring your fiancé here through a K-1 visa. If you're already married, your spouse may qualify to come to the U.S. through family-based immigration.
At Caballero & Fernandez de Avila, P.A., we help U.S. citizens navigate the K-1 fiancé visa process from start to finish. While this visa offers a meaningful opportunity to unite couples, the process can be lengthy and requires careful attention to detail. There are specific steps your fiancé must follow before entering the country, and missing any one of them can delay your plans.
Once your fiancé says "yes," your next step should be to speak with an immigration attorney who understands how to help you move forward. Our Florida-based team is here to guide you through the paperwork, timelines, and requirements so you can focus on what matters most—your future together.
Call Caballero & Fernandez de Avila, P.A. at 855-768-0997 to schedule a consultation with a lawyer today.
What Can an Immigration Lawyer Help Us With?
While it’s possible to apply for a K-1 visa on your own, the process often takes longer than expected due to the many details involved. You and your fiancé must meet every requirement exactly as outlined by U.S. immigration law. Having legal guidance throughout the process can help reduce stress, minimize delays, and allow you to focus on your upcoming wedding.
At Caballero & Fernandez de Avila, P.A., we help ensure your petition is complete, properly documented, and clearly presented—because even small mistakes can lead to long delays or denials. Avoid unnecessary setbacks that cost time and money.

What Happens During the Fiancé Visa Application Process?
First, you will need to file the petition to begin the K-1 visa process. Along with this petition, you’ll also submit the Affidavit of Support (Form I-864). At Caballero & Fernandez de Avila, P.A., we make sure you understand the significant financial responsibility that comes with signing this form. This obligation remains in place even if you later divorce—at least until your spouse becomes a U.S. citizen or has worked 40 qualifying quarters.
Once USCIS approves your petition, your fiancé will attend an interview at a U.S. consulate or embassy in their home country to apply for the visa. Depending on the case, your fiancé may need to meet certain health and medical requirements.
After your fiancé arrives in the United States, you must marry within 90 days—there are no exceptions. The entire process requires careful planning and coordination, and having legal guidance can help keep everything on track.
Our team at Caballero & Fernandez de Avila, P.A. is here to help you navigate each step smoothly—from the petition to the wedding and beyond, including your fiancé’s path to a green card.
