Fiance or K-1 Visa
Congratulations on your engagement! 
This exciting time can be overwhelming if your fiance does not live in the U.S. There are a couple options for bringing your fiance here. The first option is for your fiance to apply for a fiance visa and get married in the U.S. The second option is to get married abroad and have your fiance apply for an immigrant visa as your spouse.
If you decide to apply for a fiance visa, you must first file a fiance petition. The fiance petition establishes that you are free to marry, that you intend to get married and that you have seen each other in person at least once during the last two years. After the petition is approved, your fiance will have an interview at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate abroad.
Once your fiance has the visa and enters the U.S., you are given 90 days to get married. After you are married, your spouse can apply for conditional resident status (a green card). Your fiance is eligible for employment authorization while you are waiting.
The process can take several months or longer so it is important to begin the process well in advance of when you want to get married.
