Immigration consultant Contract SAMPLE (K1 VISA)

A K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa is a nonimmigrant visa issued by the United States to the foreign fiancé(e) of a U.S. citizen. This visa allows the foreign fiancé(e) to travel to the U.S. for a period of 90 days with the purpose of marrying their U.S. citizen sponsor within that timespan. 

A U.S. immigrant visa allows foreign nationals to enter and reside in the United States on a permanent basis. These are generally issued by the U.S. Department of State abroad. People who have been issued immigrant visas become lawful permanent residents upon entry into the U.S, often referred to as green card holders. 

Adjustment of Status (AOS) refers to the process that allows foreign nationals who are currently in the United States to apply for lawful permanent resident status without having to return to their home country. In other words, they can transition from their current status (like a K1 or a non-immigrant visa holder) to a green card holder, also known as a lawful permanent resident. 

The Removal of Conditions (ROC) refers to the process that certain green card holders must go through to become full lawful permanent residents of the United States. When a foreign national obtains a green card through marriage to a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, and the marriage is less than two years old at the time the green card is granted, they are classified as a conditional resident and are issued a 2-year conditional green card.

Naturalization is the legal process through which a foreign citizen can acquire citizenship of a country after fulfilling certain conditions. In the United States, the naturalization process usually includes requirements like living in the U.S. for a certain number of years, demonstrating good moral character, displaying an understanding of U.S. civics, showing proficiency in English, and taking an Oath of Allegiance to the U.S. Constitution. The process ends with the individual becoming a full citizen with nearly all the same rights and responsibilities as a citizen by birth.
