#### NO MORE LONG DISTANCE

The K-Visa is for people living outside of the U.S. If your fiancé is already in the country, he or she doesn't need one.

#### FOR CITIZENS ONLY

You must be a U.S. citizen to petition for your fiancé. Legal permanent residents don't have the K-1 privilege at this time.

- Captions explaining what's happening in the photos and why they're important
- Evidence of interaction on social media
