Who the client is
A US citizen engaged to someone who lives in another country. They may have met online, while traveling, through family or during military service or work abroad. The citizen is the one who searches, calls and pays.
Before they call, they worry about:
- How long they will be apart
- Showing the relationship is real
- Whether they have met in person recently enough
- Income requirements
- Whether to use a K-1 or marry first and file as spouses
- A prior marriage or an earlier petition for someone else
The K-1 or marry-first question is the big one. A firm that explains both paths fairly wins trust, and either answer leads to a case.
Channels that fit
Meta and Instagram video ads
best fitThe topic is personal and shareable. Short attorney videos on "K-1 or marry first" reach people long before they search for a lawyer. See Facebook ads for immigration lawyers.
Google search ads
strong fitSmaller volume with clear intent. Because only US citizens can file, national targeting is an option for firms that work remotely. See Google Ads for immigration lawyers.
SEO
strong fitRequirement and comparison searches are large. A clear comparison of the fiance route and the spouse route is a natural top page. See SEO for immigration lawyers.
AI search
good fit"Should we do a K-1 or get married first" is a common question for AI assistants. Fair, clear pages help your firm get cited.
Ad angles that stay inside bar rules
- "Engaged to someone abroad? Learn how the K-1 fiance visa works."
- "K-1 or marry first? An immigration attorney explains both paths."
- "What counts as proof of your relationship? See the basics."
- "Bring your fiance to the US the right way. Start with a consult."
No promised approvals. No timelines. No "fast" claims. Meta's rules also limit copy that implies you know personal details about the viewer, so ads teach and avoid telling people about their own lives. Your firm approves each ad.
What intake should ask
- Are you a US citizen?
- What country does your fiance live in?
- Have the two of you met in person in the last two years?
- Has either of you been married before, or filed a fiance or spouse petition before?
- Are you set on a K-1, or open to marrying first if that fits better?
Question 1 screens out most callers who cannot use this path. Question 5 keeps the door open for a spouse case, so fewer leads are wasted.
How we run it
- Meta and Instagram campaigns with attorney video and a short form.
- Search campaigns on K-1 and fiance visa lawyer terms.
- The AI receptionist answers, asks the five questions and books the consult.
- Intake automation sends a short prep list before the call, such as gathering photos and travel records.
- Leads land in Rocket Reach, our CRM, with the answers attached.
- Leads come from your firm's own ads and pages. They are exclusive to your firm in that sense. We do not sell shared lead lists.
Frequently asked questions
Is K-1 demand big enough to build a campaign on?
As a stand-alone, it is modest: about 1,740 lawyer searches a month nationwide. Paired with marriage green card work it is strong, since many K-1 inquiries become spouse cases and every K-1 client needs a green card filing after the wedding.
Can a firm take K-1 clients from other states?
Immigration law is federal, and many firms serve clients nationwide. Check your own bar's rules on advertising across state lines.
Why are clicks so expensive for a small case type?
Firms bid up to about $40 because these clients are motivated and tend to hire quickly.
What content works best?
The K-1 compared with the spouse visa. People search it, ask AI tools about it and share videos on it.
