Fiancé Visa Cost

K-1 Fiancé Visa — Total Cost

The K-1 visa process involves two stages — the fiancé visa itself, and then adjustment of status after marriage. Each stage has its own fees.

Stage 1: K-1 Visa

  • Form I-129F (USCIS filing fee)
  • Embassy visa application fee (MRV fee at U.S. embassy abroad)
  • Medical examination at approved physician abroad

Stage 2: Adjustment of Status After Marriage

  • Form I-485 filing fee
  • Biometric services fee
  • Work permit (EAD) — typically included
  • Travel permit (Advance Parole) — typically included
  • Additional medical examination may be required

When you add both stages together, the total government fee for the K-1 pathway is often comparable to — or slightly higher than — the marriage green card (consular processing) route. Attorney fees apply to both stages as well.
