Nationwide Marriage-Based Immigration Attorney
Can I Bring My Fiancé To The United States?
You’ve fallen in love with someone who isn’t a U.S. citizen, and now you’re ready to begin your life together. If you plan to marry and live in the United States, your fiancé may be eligible for a K-1 fiancé visa. If you’re already married, your spouse may apply for a visa and eventually a green card through the family-based immigration process.
Although the process is straightforward, it involves several important steps that must be completed correctly to avoid delays. Maitreyee Mopalwar helps U.S. citizens and their partners navigate each stage of the visa process — from petition filing to interview preparation — so couples can focus on building their future together.
Based in New Jersey and serving clients nationwide, Maitreyee is dedicated to guiding individuals and families through the immigration process with care and attention to detail. Contact Mellorah Law PLLC today to begin your fiancé or marriage visa journey.

What Can an Immigration Lawyer Help Us With?
While it’s possible to apply for a K-1 fiancé visa on your own, the process can be time-consuming and complicated due to the many detailed requirements involved. Every form, document, and statement must meet strict legal standards — and even small mistakes can lead to costly delays.
Working with an experienced immigration attorney like Maitreyee Mopalwar can make the process smoother and less stressful. She helps couples ensure that their K-1 visa petitions are complete, accurate, and properly documented, so they can focus on preparing for their future together instead of worrying about paperwork.
Based in New Jersey and serving clients nationwide, Mellorah Law PLLC provides personalized guidance through each step of the fiancé visa process. Schedule your K-1 visa consultation today to get started with confidence.
What Happens During the Fiancé Visa Application Process?
The first step in the K-1 visa process is filing a petition with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Along with the petition, you’ll need to submit an Affidavit of Support (Form I-864), confirming that you have the financial means to support your fiancé once they arrive in the United States. This is a serious legal commitment — one that continues even after marriage and, in most cases, until your spouse becomes a U.S. citizen or completes 40 quarters of work.
After USCIS approves your petition, your fiancé will attend an interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate in their home country to obtain the visa. Depending on the situation, they may also need to complete certain medical examinations or meet specific health requirements. Once the visa is issued and your fiancé arrives in the United States, you must marry within 90 days — this deadline cannot be extended.
Because each step requires careful attention to detail and precise timing, having legal guidance can make a significant difference. Maitreyee Mopalwar helps couples manage the entire process efficiently and confidently — from petition to marriage and beyond, including the next steps toward permanent residency.
