How soon can a US citizen petition his foreign fiancee for a K-1 visa?
Hello, A U.S. citizen can file a K-1 fiancee visa petition, USCIS Form I-129F, after divorce. His or her divorce must be final. However, he or she can start a new relationship before his or her divorce is final. In some states, there is a cooling off period after divorce when a remarriage is not possible. However, a fiancee visa petition can be filed during this period. A new marriage can take place after the cooling off period had ended, if there is such a law in the petitioners state.
