The K-3 visa process offers the quickest manner possible for a
spouse of a U.S. Citizen to obtain entry into the United States
and reunite with his or her family.
The K-3 process allows
spouses of U.S. citizens to enter the country as quickly as would
fiancés and fiancées of U.S. citizens. Congress created the K-3
process
after it became very apparent to Congress that K-1 fiancé visas were
being processed much quicker immigrant visas for spouses.
Basically, Congress adapted the K-1 process to the benefit of spouses.
Indeed the K-3 process
incorporates and takes advantage of the K-1 visa process. It is a
hybrid process requiring dual petitions that .
Unlike a spouse who
undergoes consular processing for an immigrant visa, which results in
a grant of legal
permanent residency status upon entry into the United States, the K-3 spouse
enters as a nonimmigrant . As a nonimmigrant, the K-3 spouse must, once inside the
United States, apply to adjust status to legal permanent residency.
While consular processing
for an immigrant visa is an available option, the advantage of the K-3 is that it allows
the a spouse of a U.S. Citizen a much quicker entry as compared to
traditional consular processing. The slower option of consular
processing requires the usual filing of a marital petition followed by
the usual year plus wait before legal
permanent residency can be
approved.
Children of the K-3 spouse can enter with a K-4 visa .
The I-94 provides the
expiration of the visa. The status is valid for 2 years each
entry and remains valid as long as the original spousal petition is
pending. |
