V-3 CHILDREN OF V-1 OR V-2

V-3 VISA Global Allianz Law Firm LLP has the expertise to file your immigration application for V-3 visa.

The V-3 dependent visa is a non-immigrant visa which allows the derivative child of the principal V-1 visa holder or applicant to enter into the U.S. and await the availability of an immigrant visa. You may stay in the U.S. on V-3 visa for an initial period of two years. You may apply for further extension of stay of two years if a visa number is not yet available. The total number of years you may stay on V-3 visa is 10 years or till you attain the age of 21 years, whichever is shorter.

ELIGIBILITY A person may apply at a U.S. consulate abroad for a V1 visa or V2 visa or seek V-1 or V-2 non-immigrant status while in the United States, if that person:

  • Is lawfully married to a Lawful Permanent Resident of the United States (V-1), or is the unmarried child (under the age of 21) of a Lawful Permanent Resident (V-2); and
  • Is the principal beneficiary of a relative petition (Form I-130) that was filed by the Lawful Permanent Resident spouse/parent on or before December 21, 2000; and
  • Has been waiting for at least 3 years since the petition was filed for status as a Lawful Permanent Resident because the petition is still pending, or has been approved but an immigrant visa is not yet available; or,
  • There is a pending application to adjust status or application for an immigrant visa. The derivative child of a V-1 or V-2 non-immigrant is eligible for a V-3 visa or for V-3 status.
