I want to obtain a K-3 visa

24.07.2025 17:51:58 The K-3 visa is designed to help reunify spouses more quickly when a U.S. citizen has filed an I-130 petition for their foreign spouse. It allows the foreign spouse to enter the United States while waiting for the approval of the immigrant visa petition and subsequent adjustment of status. However, in practice, the K-3 visa is often not as useful as intended because of changes in processing times and procedures over the years. In many cases, the I-130 petition is approved before or around the same time as a K-3 visa application would be processed. As a result, applying for a K-3 visa might not significantly speed up reunification. If you are considering this option, it's important to consult with an immigration attorney who can provide guidance based on your specific situation and current processing times. They can help determine whether pursuing a K-3 visa makes sense given your circumstances or if there are other more effective options available.

24.07.2025 23:36:42 The K-3 visa was designed to shorten the wait time for spouses of U.S. citizens, but in practice, it rarely speeds things up today. Once the I-130 petition is processed by USCIS, it usually moves faster than the I-129F (which is needed for the K-3), causing the K-3 case to be closed automatically. It is generally more efficient to wait for the CR-1 spousal visa through the I-130 process, which directly grants a green card upon entry.

24.07.2025 23:53:03 While the K-3 visa still exists, it is seldom useful because USCIS often approves the I-130 petition before completing the K-3 steps. Applying for K-3 requires filing an I-129F, but most couples find the CR-1 visa route (based on I-130) is just as fast or even faster. Therefore, filing for K-3 is unlikely to accelerate reunification compared to simply continuing with the standard spousal visa process.
