K-3, Spouses of U.S. Citizens

K-3 VISA

Global Allianz Law Firm LLP is well-versed in handling immigration applications for the K-3 visa.

The K-3 visa category is specifically designed for spouses of US citizens, offering a non-immigrant visa option while they await the opportunity to apply for lawful permanent residence status. This visa allows the spouse to enter the US, and the K-4 visa can be utilized for accompanying children.

Key features of the K-3 Visa include:

  1. Purpose: The K-3 visa permits the spouse of a US citizen, waiting abroad for an immigrant visa, to enter the United States as a non-immigrant while seeking family reunification. The K-4 visa is available for the spouse’s unmarried children under 21 years of age.
  2. Reunification Process: Spouses and their eligible children can enter the US on K-3 and K-4 visas, respectively, reunite with their family, and subsequently apply for immigrant status while residing in the country. This provision is part of the Legal Immigration Family Equity Act (LIFE Act).
  3. Non-immigrant Status: Under the K-3 and K-4 non-immigrant visa classification, spouses and their unmarried children can be granted temporary status to stay in the US during the immigration process.
  4. Optional Application: While the K-3/4 visa option exists, spouses of US citizens and their children have the flexibility to bypass the K visa application and directly obtain their immigrant visa abroad from the Department of State.

Global Allianz Law Firm LLP is committed to leveraging its expertise to guide clients through the intricacies of the K-3 visa application process, ensuring a smooth immigration journey for the spouses and their accompanying children.
