Nonimmigrant Visa for a Spouse (K-3)


Orlando Immigration Attorney, providing experienced Nonimmigrant Visa for a Spouse (K-3) and Immigration Law legal services in Orlando, and the Central Florida area.


If you are the spouse of a U.S. citizen you can come to the United States (U.S.) with a nonimmigrant K-3 visa. If you are the child of the spouse of a U.S. citizen and your parent has been issued a K-3 visa, you can be issued a K-4 nonimmigrant visa. Both the K-3 and the K-4 visas allow you to stay in the US while your immigrant visa petition is pending. Before a K-4 visa can be issued to a child, the parent must have a K-3 visa or be in K-3 status. For example, it may be contrary in some traditions for a man and woman to meet before marriage. For information regarding Nonimmigrant Spouse Visa (K-3), contact Bill Rivera, an experienced immigration law lawyer. Call 407.536.7123.

The Unites States of America a spouse is considered is a legally wedded husband or wife. Cohabiting partners do not qualify as spouses for immigration purposes. Common-law spouses may qualify as spouses for immigration purposes depending on the laws of the country where the common-law marriage occurs. Because polygamy is not legal in the United State of America, in cases of petitioning for a Nonimmigrant Spouse Visa (K-3), when polygamy is an issue, only the first spouse qualifies as a spouse for immigration.

There are specific and detail procedures which must be followed to ensure your petition is properly administered, providing you the best opportunity for achieving your Nonimmigrant Visa for a Spouse (K-3) goals. As an experienced Orlando Immigration Law Attorney, Mr. Rivera has assisted many Orlando and Central Florida individuals and families in dealing with the various immigration law issues and disputes. Call 407.536.7123 to speak to Rivera Law Center, P.A.

What do I need to do to receive a K-3 visa?

  1. You must first file an immigrant Petition for Alien Relative, form I-130 for your spouse with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Office that serves the area where you live.

  2. You next file Petition for Alien Fiancée, form I-129F for your spouse and children.

If a Spouse of a U.S. Citizen (K-3) is also an Immigrant: The spouse of an U.S. citizen applying for a nonimmigrant visa (K-3 applicant) must have an immigrant visa petition on his/her behalf by the U.S. citizen spouse. Therefore, the spouse of the U.S. citizen (the K-3 applicant) must meet some of the requirements of an immigrant visa.

The process of applying for a Nonimmigrant Visa for a Spouse (K-3) can be complex and often times confusing. The following is required when applying for a Nonimmigrant Visa for a Spouse (K-3):

  • Two copies of form DS-156, Nonimmigrant Visa Application;

  • Police certificates from all places lived in since the age of 16;

  • Birth certificates;

  • Marriage certificate for spouse;

  • Death and divorce certificates from any previous spouses;

  • Medical examination (except vaccinations);

  • A passport valid for travel to the U.S. and with a validity date at least six months beyond the applicant's intended period of stay in the U.S. (unless country-specific agreements provide exemptions);

  • Two nonimmigrant visa photos, two inches/50 X 50 mm square, showing full face, against a light background);

  • Proof of financial support (Form I-134 Affidavit of Support may be requested.);

After getting the fiancée visa, your fiancée enters the U.S. through a U.S. immigration port-of-entry.
