What Happens If You Don’t Get Married on a K-1 Visa?

If you don’t get married within 90 days of entering the United States on a K-1 visa, you will violate the terms of your visa and must leave the country. The K-1 visa is specifically intended for foreign nationals who plan to marry their U.S. citizen petitioner within 90 days of arrival. If the marriage does not occur:

• You cannot stay in the U.S. legally after 90 days.
  
• You cannot adjust your status to another visa (e.g., tourist, student, or work visa) while remaining in the U.S.
  
• You must depart the U.S. or face removal (deportation) proceedings.
  
• Overstaying may negatively affect your ability to obtain U.S. visas in the future.

In short, not marrying on a K-1 visa can lead to serious immigration consequences, including being barred from reentering the U.S. for some time. It’s important to consult with an immigration attorney if plans change.
