K-3 Visa

[AndraS 0]

Hello,

I am new to the forum as of today.

I am a US Citizen who got married to a UK national last year. I live here and he's over there.

I want to file for him but have some questions about the process and forms needed.

Help!

Firstly, forget the K-3, improved processing at USCIS and NVC have eliminated it.

K-3 served only one function, it was derived at a time when I-130 was taking years to get approved, however now since I-130 is approved at same time as I-129F the function of K-3 (Entry to USA and WAITING for I-130 approval) no longer exists, so NVC kills the K-3 in favor of the superior CR-1 or IR-1 visa.

You will start by filing an I-130 for a spouse visa.

Dear Yu & Dan,

Thank you so much! We were going to get a lawyer but they're so expensive. Did you submit the I-864 or I-134? I am seeing conflicting info on this.

Best Regards!

Nither are filed with the petition, I-864 will be needed later when NVC requests it.

And for CR-1 it will be I-864.

I-134 is used for K-1 visas at the visa interview.

The Guide link I quoted will get you going in the correct direction

Hi Yu & Dan,

That's great, thanks much. When I start the process, I will do a timeline.
