What Happens If You Don’t Get Married On A K1 Visa?

What Happens If You Don’t Get Married On A K1 Visa?

By: Dayna Lally, Esq.[1]

If you are admitted to the United States on a K1 visa and don’t get married to the U.S. citizen petitioner within 90 days, then you are required to depart the United States.[2]

Failure to timely depart the United States may result in the commencement of removal proceedings:

 … In the event the marriage with the petitioner does not occur within three months after the admission of the said alien and minor children, they shall be required to depart from the United States and upon failure to do so shall be removed in accordance with sections 1229a and 1231 of this title.[3]

The excerpt above is from Title 8 of the United States Code. The U.S. Code is a collection of all the laws of the United States. Title 8 of the U.S. Code covers “Aliens and Nationality.”[4]
