If you and your family are planning to move to Texas, there are a few different family visas available. Depending on the purpose of your visit, the type of visa you need will vary. Here’s an overview of the different family visas available in Texas. The most common family visa is the Fiancé(e) Visa. This visa allows a U.S. citizen to bring their fiancé(e) to the United States to get married. It must be used within 90 days of the visa being issued. The applicant must also meet certain requirements, such as passing a medical examination and showing proof of financial support. The Family–Based Immigration Visa is another option. This visa is used to bring family members from other countries to the United States to live permanently. To qualify for this visa, you must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. You must also demonstrate that you have a valid relationship with the person you are applying for. The K–3 Visa is also available for spouses of U.S. citizens. This visa allows the foreign–born spouse of a U.S. citizen to enter the country and wait for their green card application to be approved. To be eligible for this visa, the couple must have already married and the U.S. citizen must file an I–130 form with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Finally, the K–1 Visa is available for fiancé(e)s of U.S. citizens. This visa allows the foreign–born fiancé(e) to enter the United States to marry their U.S. citizen partner. To qualify, the couple must have already met in person at least once in the past two years and must be able to provide evidence of the relationship. These are the main family visas available in Texas. Depending on the purpose of your visit, you may be eligible for one or more of these visas.
