Obtain a K1 Fiancée or K3 Marriage Visa

In order to quickly obtain a K1 fiancée or K3 marriage visa, the services of experienced lawyers are valuable. The K1 and K3 visas help in strengthening marriage relationships by enabling the foreign fiancé (e)/spouse to enter the United States and live with the petitioner.

With the K1 fiancée visa, the American citizen can bring his/her fiancée to the United States for marriage within 90 days of entry. This can be followed by an application for Green Card through Marriage by the foreign spouse for permanent United States citizenship. Children of the foreign fiancée who are below 18 years of age can accompany the fiancée to the US through K-2 visas issued along with the K-3 visa for the fiancée. The children’s names must be mentioned in the petition filed by the American fiancé (e) with the USCIS.

The K3 marriage visa or spousal visa enables the American citizen to bring his/her spouse of a foreign nationality to the US along with the children (on the K-4 dependent visa). The spouse can then wait for the approval of the green card petition and permanent lawful resident status. Filing Form I-765 will enable the spouse to apply for a work permit.

K-1 and K-3 visas generally have quicker processing time and don’t have long waiting periods as is the case with immigrant visa petitions. Unlike the K1 visa which only has a 90-day validity (within which the marriage of the American citizen and foreign fiancée must take place, or the fiancée return to the native country), the K3 visa can be extended before filing adjustment of status. If there is any failure in the relationship after coming to the US before receiving the Green Card, there is no other provision available with the K1 or K3 visa, so the foreign fiancée or spouse must leave the US.

With the assistance of experienced immigration attorneys, obtaining a K1 fiancée or K3 marriage visa will be much easier.
