To get a fianc visa, one should file an application for a K-1 visa and be prepared to show the genuine nature of the plan to become married after the boyfriend enters the U.S. to marry his U.S. Citizen fiance. It would be wise to engage an immigration attorney to assist with the many details that will lead to success with the fianc visa and to success with the subsequent adjustment of status application (by which the soon-to-be husband will become a Lawful Permanent Resident (get a "Green Card"). Some immigration law firms, including mine, offer legal services on a "flat fee" basis so that a client will know the total expense from the very beginning, and a few immigration law firms, including mine, offer an initial consultation free of charge.

You will need to file an I-129. The form and instructions for filing the petition as well as the required are available at USCIS. Typically, you need evidence to demonstrate the relationship between you and your fiance (i.e. photos, phone records, travel records, etc.) as well as proof to show you intend to marry within 90 days of his entry into the United States.

You need to get engaged, and then file the I-129F. After approval, he would then apply for the K visa at his home consulate.

The fiance visa requires that you have personally met within the two years immediately preceding the filing of the petition and that you intend on marrying within 90 days of entry. The process begins by filing form I-129F with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service. Once that is approved, your fiance will have an interview at the consulate abroad and will then enter with a K-1 fiancee visa. You will then have to marry within 90 days of entry and then file additional forms to obtain his permanent residence.
