Cherry Blossoms has been helping men and women come to the USA since 1980. Over the years the time from start to finish has changed many time, but right now, it's been pretty fast; in most cases, we are seeing the approval rates between 4 and 6 months from the time they apply​. There are some things which can affect the start to finish:

• What Country your Fiancee lives in; the Philippines is about the fastests we have seen.
• How many applications are at the USCIS.
• The #1 is an applications without any errors. (We do it right the first time!)
• Most member's who do their own petition make simple little mistakes and usually several of them, and each mistake will add on about 1 month to the process. The average petitioner will make about 5 or 6 small errors, and that's adding on about 6 to 9 months.

To file for a Fiancee Visa:

• You are a U.S. Citizen and over 18 years old.
• You plan to marry within 90 days of arrival.
• You are single, divorced or widowed and free to marry.
• You met in person within the last 2 years.
• You equal or exceed the Fiancee Visa income requirements.

Below are the basic costs for the Fiancee Visa. Some can be a litte or more or less depending on the country and where she has to travel from and to.

Government Fees	Other Costs
USCIS Filing Fee: $535	The travel costs to the U.S. Embassy will vary, check with your Fiancee for that.
Embassy Fee: $265	Medical Exam (Ranges between $200 & $300)
Total Government: $800

After your case has been approved by the USCIS and Homeland Security, your Fiancée will be scheduled for a face-to-face interview with a Consular Officer at the US Embassy where she lives.

Your Fiancée will be asked a series of questions to make a determination of approval or denial. The main goal of the interviewer is to determine if your relationship is legitimate, and to make sure there is no fraud going on. After the interview, the consular officer will approve or reject your visa. If approved, the passport (along with the issued Visa) will be returned to the beneficiary within 10 days or so. We will provide you a complete list of questions before the interview.

After approval, the K1 Visa it is valid for 6 months. However, once your Fiancee enters the USA, that changes to 90 days. You must get married within the next 90 days since there is no way to extend the Fiancee Visa. The K1 Visa is only valid for one entry. Most of our members marry soon after entry, but you have up to 90 days.

Once married, you are required to change the status of the Fiancee Visa, and you will do that using the Adjustment of Status. This process changes the status from a non-immigrant to an immigrant, and grants conditional permanent residency (Green Card valid for 2 years). With the Green Card, the alien (your Fiancee) can stay in the U.S. legally, work, and exit and re-enter the U.S. without the need for further visas. The conditional status will have to be removed prior to the 2 year expiration. Form I-751 must be filed and approved by USCIS for the approval of the 10 year permanent residence (Green Card).

Your now Spouse will be able to apply for US Citizenship after being a “permanent resident” for 3 years in a row.
