What happens if we do not get married within 90 days?

The K-1 visa was created to facilitate the entry of a fiancé or fiancée into the United States, but with the condition that the couple must get married within 90 days of entry. This rule exists to ensure that the purpose of the visa is being fulfilled, that is, to carry out the marriage within the period stipulated by immigration laws.

If the marriage is not performed within those 90 days, the K-1 visa beneficiary will be in an irregular situation. This basically means that he or she will not be able to adjust their status to permanent resident, since the process of changing the visa to a green card requires that the marriage takes place within the determined deadline.

In practice, without the marriage, the person will have to leave the United States because remaining in the country after the allowed period can result in legal complications, such as the possibility of future difficulties in obtaining another visa or even issues related to deportation.

It is essential to strictly follow immigration laws and be well informed about the deadlines and requirements involved in this type of process. In case of any doubts or situations that have not proceeded as planned, it is always recommended to seek guidance from professionals specialized in immigration and avoid miracle solutions or quick-result offers circulating on the internet.

These precautions can help avoid problems in the future and ensure that all procedures comply with the regulations established by the United States government.
