Our K3 is expiring and we do not have IR1 process done yet.

Alert:

I am alerting you more experience VJ'ers to please contact the administrators of the forum and let them know as of 10/17/2006 that they may have some possible wrong or misleading information in the official K3 to Adjustment of status Guide which can be accessed here:

http://www.visajourney.com/faq/k3k4visa-aos.html

It clearly says this in the official VJ guide:

14.8)...My status as K3 is about to expire, and I am still waiting approval of AOS. Is there anything I can do to keep my status?

A..Yes, you can apply for an extension of status with the USCIS (INS). This will enable you to leave the United States and return without needing Advance Parole. It is probably a good idea to extend the K3/K4 status if you plan on being outside the country."

As I read and understand it, it nullifies everything we are discussing in this thread.

So we need to verify who is correct and who is misinformed and have the inaccurate information updated or removed.

Please pass this on to those in charge.

Thanks

I don't know about the exceptions alluded to regarding Canada/Mexico. Knowing the poster, I suspect an intellectual excercise. I don't know of any K-3s who actually used that 'rule' to their benefit.

Yeah... I wonder what it would be like for a person to intellectually argue it after the CBP has denied entry due to the expired visa ... and did not permit entry as a tourist due to immigrant intent... resulting in one being stranded outside the US

Risky proposition if you ask me...
