Your answers stay with you

Your answers stay saved, so the next form is much faster.

Your answers are securely saved and encrypted in Effortless Visa. When a supported form asks for your name, birthday, address, or family details again, you can reuse those answers instead of starting over. You choose what to bring forward and check it before it goes into the new form.

Your journey

What happens after the K-1 visa

This filing begins after K-1 entry and marriage to the original petitioner.

Check whether this filing fits

Answer a few questions first. If your answers point to a situation that needs individual legal review, we will tell you before you start the form.

These answers stay temporarily in this browser and are copied into the encrypted case only if you choose to create one. Nothing here is legal advice.

Are you physically present in the United States now?
Did you marry the same person who filed your I-129F petition?
Did you marry within 90 days after entering the United States with the K-1 visa?
Have you left the U.S. at any point since entering on the K-1 visa?
Have you ever been ordered to leave the United States, had an immigration-court case about being removed, or returned without permission afterward?
Have you, the person applying for adjustment, ever been arrested, detained, charged, cited, or convicted anywhere, even if the record was cleared?
Have you ever knowingly given important false information to get a U.S. visa, enter the country, or receive an immigration benefit?
Is the U.S. citizen who filed Form I-129F still living?
Are you still married and not separated?
Did any child enter with a K-2 visa and plan to apply for a green card?

Know the boundary before you buy

This project is for a K-1 fiancé(e), or an eligible K-2 child, applying for a green card after the required U.S. entry and marriage. Other green card categories need a different filing path.

Effortless Visa is independent self-help form-preparation software. It is not a law firm, attorney, accredited representative, government agency, or part of USCIS. We do not give legal advice or represent you. If your answers show an unusual or legally complex situation, pause and speak with a qualified immigration lawyer or DOJ-accredited representative.

This guide follows the official government form and instructions. Official government sources control if anything here conflicts with them.
