It is difficult to provide a specific time frame for the K-1 visa process, largely due to the fact that every case is different. In general, however, the K-1 visa process takes between 8 and 11 months. In some cases, it may take longer or shorter, depending on the circumstances of your case. There are no expedited processing services for K-1 visas, so it is important to ensure that your application is thorough and that all the necessary documentation is compiled.
