K3: Non-Immigrant Visa For Foreign Citizen Spouse

The K-3 visa allows the spouse of a U.S. citizen to enter the United States as a nonimmigrant while completing the process for permanent residency. To qualify, the U.S. citizen must file an immediate relative petition (Form I-130), and the foreign spouse must receive approval for a petition for an alien fiancé(e) (Form I-129F). Once admitted on a K-3 visa, foreign spouses can live in the U.S. while their immigrant visa petition is being processed.

Our immigration law firm, the Law Offices of Kennedy, prioritizes reuniting with your spouse and making that journey as seamless as possible. Our dedicated spouse visa lawyers offer personalized support to expedite your K-3 visa processing without any hiccups. Connect with our team if you are contemplating applying for your K-3 visa.

K3 Spouse Visa: Eligibility Criteria

To earn a K3 Spouse Visa, both the U.S. citizen and their foreign spouse must meet critical eligibility criteria. Let’s dive into the essential requirements that can help navigate this process!

Legally Wedded

The couple must be legally married, and their marriage must be acknowledged as valid in the US and the country where the wedding occurred.

US Citizenship Holder

The petitioner must be a US citizen. Green card holders, however, cannot petition for a K3 visa.

Pending Immigrant Petition

The spouse holding US citizenship must file Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, on behalf of their foreign spouse. The petition must be pending approval with the USCIS when filing the K-3 visa application.

Co-Residing Intent

Both spouses must have the intent to live together in the United States once the foreign spouse arrives.

No Inadmissibility Issues

The foreign spouse should not have any reasons for inadmissibility, such as certain criminal offenses or health concerns that may hinder their entry into the US.

Application Submission

The foreign spouse must submit Form I-129F or Petition for Alien Fiance once the I-130 has been filed. This helps initiate the processing of K-3 visa applications.
