Orlando Immigration

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

If a Spouse of a U.S. Citizen (K-3) is also an

some of the requirements of an immigrant visa.
