Getting married or engaged to an American citizen is often one of the quickest routes to obtaining a green card and eventually, U.S. citizenship.

The law office of Judith B. Sporn, P.C., in Westport, Connecticut, is the law firm that will make a difference. With over 25 years of experience in handling marriage-based immigration visas, we will guide you and your fiancé or spouse through the process.
K-1 Fiancé Visa
- K-1 visas are for foreign fiancés of U.S. citizens.
- Only a U.S. citizen may apply for a K-1 visa. The noncitizen fiancé will receive a temporary visa and the marriage must occur within 90 days of arrival in the U.S.
- After marriage, the noncitizen spouse can apply for a green card.
K-3 Spousal Visa
- K-3 visas are for noncitizens who are already married to a U.S. citizen.
- There are several phases to obtaining a K-3 visa. Petitions need to be filed and an interview is required.
- The K-3 visa application can get frustrating and drawn-out. Any errors along the way can cause more delays and a possible visa denial.
