Need help with k-1 fiancé from brazil

[Ironhide 0]

Hi I'm looking to marry my fiancé from brazil, but I am confused about the whole process. I know I have to file a few forms then she will have to goto her k-1 visa interview. I'm just not sure what I have to do after she moves to the US and we get married. And how long after we are married can she stay in the US before we can complete the forms for permanent residency.

Follow the link at the top of the page that says guides. It will tell you all of the forms you need and how to proceed with the process. If she enters the US on a K1 (fiance visa), be sure to get married within 90 days, and you can file the forms to adjust status (permanent residency) as soon as you have the marriage certificate in hand and gather all required documents. In our case, I prepared everything ahead of time and just waited to receive the marriage certificate in the mail. I then sent everything in about 3 weeks after we were married. My answer is a simplified version of what you do, but the guides are very helpful and will show you step by step what to prepare and when. Good luck!
