For many couples, the K-1 fiancé visa offers a unique opportunity: a way for a U.S. citizen to bring their fiancé(e) to the U.S. to marry and build a life together. But in 2025, the road to approval is more complex than ever. Requests for Evidence (RFEs) are becoming more common, and consular scrutiny has intensified, particularly in countries with high fraud risk profiles. Despite these facts, the K-1 fiancé(e) visa process stands out as one of the best options to get your foreign spouse national here quicker.

At Khunkhun Law, we’ve worked with countless British-American couples, and we know how overwhelming the document preparation stage can feel. That’s why we’ve created this detailed, easy-to-follow checklist of everything you’ll need to submit a strong, well-organized application, whether you’re going through marriage-based consular processing in the UK or adjustment of status in the U.S.

Imagine you filed your AOS without an attorney, and USCIS issues a Request for Evidence (RFE). RFEs are time-sensitive, and if you don’t receive it in the mail or don’t understand how to properly respond, your case will be denied. No second chances. What was once a fixable oversight suddenly becomes a potential deportation case.

At the Oath Ceremony, you will surrender your Green Card. Once you become a U.S. citizen, your Green Card is no longer valid for travel or identification. You must use a U.S. passport to travel internationally. What this means for you if your Oath Ceremony and your interview are on the same day? You will not have any valid travel document until your new U.S. passport is issued.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll break down the differences between Adjustment of Status and Consular Processing, who qualifies for each, recent trends in USCIS handling, and how you can make the best decision based on your specific situation.

In 2025, many couples are still choosing the K-1 fiancé visa as the gateway to building a life together in the United States. The K-1 visa allows a U.S. citizen to sponsor their foreign fiancé(e), who then enters the U.S. with the intent to marry within 90 days of arrival. But while the benefits of this visa are clear, the application process is more scrutinized

Are you a British citizen engaged or married to an American? Wondering how your UK-based partner can move to the USA permanently? You’re not alone, and the good news is, the pathway is well-established, and we’ve helped countless couples just like you navigate it successfully.

At Khunkhun Law, we speak with marriage-based green card applicants every day, U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and their spouses from around the world….The truth is, while the law sets the framework, the real experience of getting a marriage-based green card depends on up-to-date knowledge of USCIS practices, consular trends, and how officers are approaching cases in the current climate.

Thinking about applying for a marriage green card while in the U.S. on a student visa (F-1), visitor visa (B2), ESTA, H-1B, or another type of nonimmigrant visa? You’re not alone—and yes, it’s often possible to stay in the U.S. and apply through Adjustment of Status if you marry a U.S. citizen. But success depends on timing, lawful entry, and how well your relationship and documents are presented to USCIS. Whether you overstayed a visa, got married during OPT, entered on ESTA, or are in a same-sex marriage, we’ve helped hundreds of couples navigate the green card process smoothly. From interview prep to Advance Parole to the I-864 Affidavit of Support, we specialize in making marriage-based immigration cases strong, strategic, and stress-free.

If you're in the U.S. on an H-1B visa and you've found love with a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (LPR), your story isn’t just one of professional achievement—it’s also one of connection, commitment, and building a life together. When your marriage is based on a genuine relationship and love has always been in the picture, adjusting your immigration status through your spouse might be one of the most natural—and legally sound—paths forward.

At Khunkhun Law, we don’t just fill out forms—we build your entire case with the interview in mind, from day one. And because all we do is marriage and family immigration, we’ve created a repeatable system that removes the guesswork, anticipates red flags, and makes the entire process more predictable.

Love may be universal, but U.S. immigration law? Not so much. If you're engaged or recently married to a U.S. citizen, you’ve likely discovered that the path to a marriage green card can feel less like a romantic stroll and more like navigating a legal labyrinth. Fortunately, you don’t have to do it alone. An experienced immigration lawyer in NYC can help you untangle the rules, reduce your stress, and turn your plans into reality.

For many international students, the F-1 visa opens the door to education and opportunity in the United States. But when love enters the picture, that dream often grows into something more permanent. If you’ve fallen in love and married a U.S. citizen, you may be eligible to apply for a marriage green card—right from inside the U.S.—through a process called adjustment of status.

When you receive your marriage-based green card and it's been less than two years since you tied the knot, you start your journey in the U.S. with what's known as a conditional green card. This isn't just a bureaucratic step; it's a crucial period where you need to demonstrate that your marriage is genuine and built to last. 

Thinking about getting married in New York City? Whether you’re a U.S. citizen marrying a foreign national or a Green Card holder looking to bring your spouse to the U.S., the journey from saying “I do” to securing a green card can feel overwhelming. 

If you’re in a same-sex marriage and worried about applying for a marriage-based green card under the current Trump administration, you’re not alone. The good news is that nothing has changed in the law—same-sex spouses of U.S. citizens and green card holders still have the same rights as opposite-sex couples when applying for adjustment of status.

Filing for a marriage-based green card soon after getting married, especially following a low-key courthouse wedding, can raise questions for some couples. One of the most common concerns we hear as New York immigration attorneys is: “Will USCIS think our marriage is fake if we file right away?”
