Fiancé(e) sponsorship requirements
Fiancé(e) sponsorship requires the U.S. citizen to demonstrate the ability to financially support their partner, usually showing income or assets meet a specific threshold. The couple must prove their relationship is genuine, often through documents and interviews. The foreign fiancé(e) must intend to marry within 90 days of entry into the U.S. and plan to apply for a marriage-based visa afterward. Both parties need to complete paperwork and possibly attend interviews to show they meet eligibility criteria, ensuring the foreign partner will not become reliant on public assistance.
