The Filipino fiance(e) has 90 days from admission into the United States to marry his/her petitioner. The K1 visa does not allow the bearer to marry anyone other than the petitioner. After the marriage, the couple must contact the USCIS to register for conditional permanent resident status for the Filipino spouse. Contact the USCIS in the United States for further information regarding the K1 visa bearer’s status while in the United States. Can the K1 visa be used to travel in and out of the United States? No. The K1 visa is a single-entry visa, which means that the K1 bearer who leaves the United States without changing marital and immigration status will not be able to re-enter the country on the same visa. A new petition and visa would be required.
