My fiance is in the US right now with a K1 that I sponsored for her. We decided to get married in France. Can you go to France, get married and then come back with her K1 visa?
Updated answer (October 31, 2026). The K-1 visa is generally valid for a single admission to enter the United States for the purpose of marrying the petitioning US citizen within 90 days of that admission. It is not a general multiple entry travel document. If the couple marries abroad before using the K-1 or travels abroad after admission without the appropriate authorization, the original K-1 plan may no longer work. The couple may need a spousal immigrant visa process instead. A qualifying K-1 entrant normally must marry the original US citizen petitioner within the 90-day period to proceed through the usual K-1 adjustment route. Review the exact dates of entry, marital status, any departure and any pending adjustment or advance parole before travel.
