Basic requirements for a F-6 visa

 

If you want to get a F-6 marriage visa,there are some basic requirements that the Immigration Office will ask for.

 

The first is the income requirement. Your Korean spouse must be able to show that he/she makes enough income to support your family. The amount of required income changes every year. The income must be proven with documents issued by the tax office, so even if your Korean spouse has income,but does not pay taxes on that money, you will not be able to satisfy the requirement. (One exception to this is if you or your Korean spouse is pregnant.)

 

The second is the housing requirement. Your Korean spouse must have a place where your family can live together.

 

The third is the communication requirement. You and your Korean spouse must be able to demonstrate that you can communicate with each other.

 

These are the three main requirements, and there are other things that the Immigration will ask for, such as proof that you do not have a criminal history back in your country.

 

There are many documents to prepare, and lengthy forms to fill out, which may be daunting to people who are illegal, or have a G-1 visa. Some administrative agents will ask for exorbitant amounts of money for a F-6 visa for G-1 holders or illegal immigrants.

 

What I can tell you from my years of experience helping international couples is that the process is not really all that difficult. In most cases, you don’t even need a lawyer or an administrative agent to file the case on your behalf. All you and your Korean spouse needs is a little help, and I’d be glad to provide you with that assistance.
