K-3 Visa

❯❯


K-3 and K-4 are non-immigrant visas. They were created to let a spouse and under-age children of the American citizen stay in the U.S. while waiting for the USCIS approval of the I-130 form or the immigrant visa.

Both visas allow a foreign wife (husband) of the U.S. citizen and their kid(s) to come to the U.S. under the non-immigrant status. That way, they can wait for the immigrant visa as a family. These types of visas were created by the U.S. Government in order to reduce the time during which the spouses wait for the approval separately. Another good news is that K-3 Visa allows a spouse that came from abroad to work in the U.S. It becomes possible after getting the work permit. A wife (husband) of the U.S. citizen and their kid(s) may skip applying for K visas. They can apply for the immigrant visa at once, while staying in the home country.

The K-3 Visa applicant must:

  • Be the spouse of the American citizen. Legal documents should be submitted as a proof of their marriage;
  • Put in a filled I-693 form when in the U.S. Consulate for the visa application;
  • Be an unmarried under-age child of the K-3 Visa applicant or holder;
  • Put in a completed I-693 form when in the Consulate for the visa application;

The U.S. citizen must submit I-130 Form as an application to permit their wife (husband) and unmarried under-age kid(s) to come to the U.S.

K Visas don’t provide the immigrant status. To obtain it while residing in the U.S., the K-3 Visa holder should submit the Application for Adjustment to Permanent Residence (I-485 Form). The K-4 Visa holder should file this form as well. Once both forms are approved, the K Visa holders become lawful permanent U.S. residents and get a Green Card. After that, the wife (husband) and the kid(s) of the American citizen may apply for the immigrant status and wait for the interview in the U.S. In order to get the work permit, they should complete the Application for Employment Authorization (I-765 form). It must be put in along with the I-485 petition.

I wanted to get political asylum in the United States, but I realized that it was not so easy. I was ready for the fact that I would have to collect a whole bunch of documents and answer many questions, but this did not stop me. The only obstacle for me was a complete lack of understanding where to start. I accidentally found Usa-immigrations.com on the Internet. All the information you need is there. I easily found and downloaded the form I needed, and also learned the entire list of required documents.

It is not an easy task to issue documents to travel to the USA. Even if you know their entire list, that's not all. To obtain a visa, you must fill out the forms and if even a minor mistake is made, they will be returned to you. At Usa-immigrations.com there is more than a list of documents and forms that can be easily downloaded. Each form is accompanied by detailed instructions on how to fill it out correctly. It is very convenient. I liked the site very much, it is simple and easy to use.

I have been living in America with my family for a long time and am a citizen of this country. I decided to lure my mother to her. I began to find out what documents are needed for this. One friend advised the site Usa-immigrations.com, said that it had all the necessary information. Indeed, here I found out what documents are required. I needed to complete a Form I-130. I also found it on this site and downloaded it. Thanks to the instructions for filling it out, I was able to quickly complete everything and send the documents for consideration.
