Fiance Visa: What Will Happen After my Fiance Arrives to the United States?

After your fiance arrives to the United States, you will be given a 90 day window in which you MUST get married. Do not attempt to extend this period.

My suggestion to you is to try to get everything for the wedding planned before your fiance arrives, especially if you want something more extravagant. There will not be much time to plan once your fiance arrives.

When we got married we decided to do something really simple for our wedding. We really didn’t have too much time to plan because we did not really know when our visa would be approved or when Josue would  receive his appointment and approval from the embassy.

No matter what type of wedding you have, be sure to send out some kind of wedding invitations or announcements, and keep record of it. Also, take plenty of pictures at the wedding and be sure to bring them in to your interview when you go for your fiance’s change of status. Save any wedding cards that people may have sent you as well. The more proof that you have that your wedding was genuine, the better.
