Is it better to get married in the U.S. or the Philippines?
Filipina Fiancée & Spouse Visa Services – Helping You Unite with Your Filipina Partner
At Filipina Fiancée Visa Service, our mission is simple: to make it easy for U.S. citizens to reunite with their Filipina spouse or bride-to-be. Based in the USA, we specialize in guiding Americans through the complex U.S. immigration process required to bring their loved ones from the Philippines to the United States—whether for marriage or after getting married.
As a U.S. citizen, you have the legal right to petition for your Filipina fiancée or spouse to join you in the United States, pending approval by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). However, navigating the immigration system can be overwhelming due to the extensive paperwork, detailed requirements, and processing delays.
Two Main Options for Bringing Your Filipina Partner to the U.S.
You have two primary visa options:
-
K1 Fiancée Visa – If you are not yet married, you can file for a K1 visa to bring your fiancée to the U.S. Once she arrives, you’ll have 90 days to legally marry.
-
CR1 Spouse Visa – If you’ve already married in the Philippines, you’ll need to apply for a CR1 immigrant visa, so your spouse can join you in the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident.
At Filipina Fiancée Visa Service, we support you in preparing and submitting the appropriate visa petition based on your relationship status and plans—whether that means a K1 Fiancée Visa or a CR1 Spouse Visa.
Why Many Couples Choose the K1 Fiancée Visa
While the decision is entirely yours, many of our clients find that the K1 Fiancée Visa process is faster and less complicated than the CR1 Spouse Visa. It allows your Filipina partner to come to the U.S., spend more time with you, and get married here within 90 days of arrival.
This approach gives you the opportunity to strengthen your bond and plan your wedding together—though keep in mind, it may be more difficult for family in the Philippines to attend the ceremony in the U.S. If desired, you can always travel back to the Philippines later for a celebration with loved ones.
K1 Visa Requirements: Proof of a Genuine Relationship
To be approved for a K1 Fiancée Visa, you must demonstrate a legitimate intention to marry. You’ll need to show that you’ve met in person at least once in the past two years and provide documentation of your ongoing communication and relationship.
