A:
To expedite your fiancé's arrival in the U.S., you might consider the K-1 visa, commonly referred to as the fiancé visa. This option is specifically designed for the foreign-citizen fiancés of U.S. citizens to travel to the United States to marry. The process typically takes less than a year, but processing times can vary.
The I-130, or spousal visa, is used when you're already married, and it can take longer to process compared to the K-1.
As for the B1/B2 visa, it's intended for visitors and is not suitable for immigration purposes. It's critical to use the correct visa for your intentions to avoid complications or potential accusations of visa fraud.
You should consult with an attorney who can guide you through the process, ensuring that you comply with all legal requirements and select the most appropriate path for your situation.
