Recently, our team was asked a question: “What are the K-3 visa processing times in 2025?”
We wanna share the answer from our specialists:
22.07.2025 17:40:50 I'm unable to provide real-time information or predict future processing times for the K-3 visa in 2025. However, you can find the most current and accurate processing times by visiting the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website or contacting them directly. Processing times can vary based on a variety of factors, including application volume and changes in immigration policy, so it's important to check for updates regularly.
22.07.2025 18:09:22 K‑3 visa processing typically takes around 3–5 months at USCIS to approve Form I‑129F, plus an additional 2–3 months at the U.S. consulate for the visa interview and issuance . However, because USCIS often approves the underlying I‑130 petition first — making the K‑3 unnecessary — many K‑3 applications are closed once the I‑130 is granted . Even if issued, spouses can apply for work authorization upon or after entry.
22.07.2025 18:14:14 Under current timelines, expect your K‑3 petition (I‑129F) to be processed by USCIS in about 3 to 5 months, followed by another 2 to 3 months at the consulate before visa issuance . In many cases though, USCIS approves the I‑130 before the K‑3, which renders the K‑3 obsolete and typically ends the process . If you do enter the U.S. on a valid K‑3, you can then promptly file for a work permit (EAD).
