Marriage overseas

[VanPhoenix 0]

Hey guys my husband and I got married on sept 13 2008, we never lived together in the same house , What I am trying to ask is .... to apply for k3 visa is necessary for the couple live together for while to proove that the marriage is real ?

Cause I was reading the I 130 form there is a gap that ask for address where the couple used to live together before applying the visa.

Is it necessary?

Thnks

Not a requirement of the visa, many marry and NEVER live together and do spousal visas, without problem.

Also: if considering K-3, do the CR-1 visa you will be much more happy for it because of the INSTANT GREEN-CARD.

For the most part CR-1 tends to take a bit longer than K-3 to get if you prepare for NVC when they request I-864 fee, and Visa fee, as well as documents requested by NVC. In many cases the CR-1 petition reaches the consulate just before K-3 interview, which causes K-3 to get dropped and the interview becomes a CR-1 visa interview.

K-3:

I-130: $355

I-129F: NONE

Consulate: $131

AOS: $1010

($1496)

CR-1

I-130: $355

NVC I-864: $70

NVC Visa fee: $400 ($355+$45)

($825)

I see many posts from K-3 holders stating, "Wow this sucks, I am stuck at home because I don't have EAD, DL, etc, or I am having hard time getting added to bank accounts because of NO SSN." K-3 has a 90 day or longer period of limbo while waiting for EAD or Green-card.

K-3 was developed at a time when CR-1 was taking much longer that today, NVC has greatly streamlined the CR-1 process to the point where K-3 becomes irrelevant.

No problem. Just write "none" where applicable.

My husband and I never lived together per se but I did write the same address on the I-130 while I visited him before his visa. Many couples don't live together because it's physically impossible and the USCIS and the embassies are very understanding.

I also agree with YuAndDan, please do some research on the CR1 visa instead of the K3 since it's a much better visa and it currently doesn't take as long as people think it does.
