The filing fee for the I-129F petition is $535.
After the petition is approved, there are additional expenses:

-

Technically, it is possible to enter on a tourist visa and get married. However, this would violate immigration laws and could be considered fraudulent. Learn more about getting married in the U.S. without a K-1 visa.
We recommend staying within the boundaries of the law. The K-1 visa is specifically designed for coming to the U.S. for the purpose of getting married.
One of the requirements for filing Form I-129F to obtain a K-1 visa is having had at least one in-person meeting within the last two years. The absence of an in-person meeting is grounds for denial.
The only exceptions are deeply rooted religious or cultural practices, which must be substantiated and documented. This is very difficult to prove, and therefore, USCIS rarely approves such petitions.
Many people choose between the K-1 fiancee visa and the CR-1 spouse visa. Each visa has its own advantages and disadvantages. You can learn more about them in our article 'K-1 Fiancee Visa or CR-1 Spouse Visa - Which One to Choose?
K-1 fiancee visa petitions are processed in the order they are received. However, if you have exceptional circumstances, you have the right to request expedited processing. USCIS will review the request and make a decision.
