A K-1 Visa is a nonimmigrant visa Visa issued to the fiancé of a United States citizen. The K-1 Visa allows the visa holder to enter the United States for up to 90 days during which time they may get married and file for Adjustment of Status (to obtain a "green card" and become a Legal Permanent Resident of the US). After filing for (AOS) Adjustment of Status they may reside in the US beyond the 90 day K-1 Visa validity while their Adjustment of Status application is processed. While the K-1 Visa is legally classified as a non-immigrant visa, it usually leads to important immigration benefits and is therefore processed by the Immigrant Visa section of United States Embassies and Consulates worldwide. If the non US Citizen fiancé has a child (under 21 and unmarried), a K-2 non-immigrant visa may be available to the child. Be sure to include the names of the children on the I-129F petition that you filled out.
