When do you need a K3 Spousal visa?
An US citizen marries a foreign
fiancee in the USA or in another country,
the foreign fiancee goes back to their country, the U.S. citizen
applies to the Service Center for an I-130 spousal visa petition.
I-130 petition
When the US citizen receives the notice of receipt from the
service center
for the I-130 petition, the US citizen files an I-129F petition to the Chicago processign center for a K3 visa. The Chicago
office sends this
to the Missouri Center, and after Missouri approves the petition,
it is forwarded to the foreign US consulate.
K3 spousal petition is similar to a K1 fiancee
visa process. The K3 spouse files for adjustment of status after
entering the U.S., however has 2 years in which to do so. (The
visa is a 2-year multiple re-entry visa).

After
receiving the K3 spousal visa, the spouse enters on the K3 and is allowed to
work and travel. The spouse may file
for adjustment of
status BEFORE the I-130 petition is
approved. |

entry or do consular processing of an I-130 in
order to gain resident status.
