Application Procedures for Fiancee Visas:
Bringing My Fiancee to Marry in the U.S.

The U.S. citizen fiancee must file the petition (application) for the fiancee visa and provide the following items:

• Form I-129F (Petition for Alien fiancee)
  
  
• If your fiancee has unmarried children who are under 21, they are eligible to accompany your fiancee, but only if they are listed on this form.
  
  
• Evidence of your U.S. citizenship - your original U.S. birth certificate, your U.S. passport, your Certificate of Naturalization, or your Certificate of Citizenship. (Please see USCIS Form I-129F for information on the use of copies.)
  
  
• 2 Form G-325A Biographic Data Sheets (one for you and one for your fiancee)

• One color photo of you and one of your fiancee taken within 30 days of filing

• A copy of any divorce decrees, death certificates, or annulment decrees if either you or your fiancee have been previously married.

• Proof of permission to marry if you or your fiancee are subject to any age restrictions. (For instance, in some U.S. states, you must receive special permission to marry if you are under the age of 16.)

Read the instructions on the forms carefully.  If you live in the U.S., you should file with the USCIS office that has jurisdiction over where you live.  If you live outside the U.S., contact the nearest American Consulate to find out where to file. Forms are available online, or by calling 1-800-870-3676, or by submitting an online request to receive forms by mail. Further information on forms, filing fees, and fee waivers is available in Forms, Fees & Filing Locations.
