Multi-Entry K3 info confirmation

[betazed 0]

So, at the end of my visa interview @ the Vancouver Consulate, the agent told my that my visa will be ready tomorrow. He also noted that a K3 Visa is a multiple entry one, so even after I cross with this visa, and have unpacked & settled in Seattle, I can in fact come up back up to Vancouver anytime I wish to visit.

Me: "Even when I apply for AOS?"

Him: "Even then."

Me: "What about when I'm in the process of AOS?"

Him: "Even then."

Me: "For how long?"

Him: "2 years, when the Visa expires. By then you should be in the process of the Green Card."

Me: "And when I receive that, can I still come back up?"

Him: "Yep. This is one of the perks of having a K3 Visa."

Naturally, I'm a bit weary of info, as I've heard way too many conflicting facts about the perks of this visa.

Can someone who is a K3 confirm or negate this?

K-3 is valid for multiple entries until receipt of greencard or expiration of visa... the CBP person was absolutely correct.

I can definitely stay in the auxiliary pool. That is, if my direct supervisor is willing to keep me. A lot of ppl are pretty sad that I am leaving the full-time position, and he's been ripping me for the last 2 years about leaving.

In response to the confirmation: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Yes but it's the Consular Officer, not the CBP person that made the correct statement.

Hey All,

I went to pick up my passport (K3 Visa enclosed). The Consular agent also handed me a package that has to remain sealed until I cross over. He also handed me an information page regarding the terms of my K3.

Turns out, I can definitely travel back and forth!

Can you imagine the torture if I couldn't, given how close Vancouver is to Seattle?

Just ask anyone who moved to the US on a K1

You sure can travel back and forth.

If you want to be absolutely sure, just look at your visa itself. Under 'Entries', it will have an M, for multiple.

One big advantage over the K1 visa.

Ohh yea, there were plenty of those in the waiting room . I can only imagine how they're handling the move.

I hate to be such a pain, but I've been getting very different responses since receiving my K3.

Do the rules change when one receives a green card (ie travelling in & out of Canada)? When I receive that, is that when I should get an AP?

Scratch that last post. I found the K3 FAQs. Ahh, too many ppl mixing me up cuz they're thinking about K1s.
