US citizens planning to marry a fiancé from one of the 75 countries under the recent travel ban should reconsider their approach to immigration petitions. If a marriage occurs before filing the I-130 marriage petition, the fiancé will be subject to the travel ban and unable to enter the US as a permanent resident. Instead, US citizens are advised to file for their fiancés using Form I-129F, which exempts them from the travel ban.
Key Details:
- US citizens can file Form I-129F for their fiancés, who are exempt from the travel ban.
- After approval, the petition is sent to the US State Department for visa processing.
- Fiancés enter the US on a K-1 visa and must marry within 90 days of entry.
- Following marriage, the spouse can file for adjustment of status using Form I-485.
This guidance is crucial for US citizens to ensure their fiancés can enter the US without complications related to the travel ban. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
