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).
