Key Points to Know About the K-3 Spouse Visa
The K-3 visa is a nonimmigrant visa that allows the foreign spouse of a U.S. citizen to enter the United States while their Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) is pending.
Here are key points to understand:
- The K-3 visa is only available to spouses of U.S. citizens, not green card holders.
- It’s a temporary solution to allow families to reunite more quickly than the traditional immigrant visa process.
- K-3 visa holders can work in the U.S. after obtaining employment authorization.
- The spouse can apply for adjustment of status to become a permanent resident after entering the U.S.
- K-4 visas are available for unmarried children under 21 of K-3 visa holders.
