Scope and purpose

A U.S. citizen uses this petition for an eligible fiancé(e) seeking K-1 classification. The form also covers certain K-3 spouse petitions. An approved petition is not a visa and does not guarantee admission.

Related rules and practical context

The consular interview, admissibility and the conditions of K classification remain separate questions. A K-1 entrant’s later Form I-485 requires its own eligibility analysis. Do not treat a fiancé petition as interchangeable with Form I-130.
