Is it possible to apply for a k1 visa for someone who is currently in the US on a tourist visa? Would the fiancee have to leave, or could they stay for the remainder of their tourist visa while they wait for the k1 to process?

Yes, it is possible to file for K1 while the beneficiary is in the US. Just make sure not to overstay and the fiancee has to leave US on or before the date stamped on the I-94. The fiancee has to do all preparation for the K1 visa interview in her home country.

You can file the I-129F petition while they are in the US visiting with you. They can stay as long as the I-94 they received when they entered will allow. They should not overstay their visa. They will return back home to their own country and file for the K-1 visa once the I-129F petition is approved, have their medical and be interviewed. Those things cannot be done in the US.

Yes! I did this too, we wanted to fill the I129F ASAP as we knew it was a long process. It made the separation and the wait (a little) shorter blush.gif

Good luck in your visa journey!

Thanks all for the replies. NigeriaorBust, we were asking for a friend, who is a US citizen. They're looking for the best way for their situation.
