Hi All:

It's LadyLove2006 and I am a very happy lady today. :D(L) . My fiance' and I got married on November 9, 2006 in Lagos (L) and now the Visa Journey really begins. I am now back in the US after spending a month with him and the family/friends. I didn't want to leave him and I knew that if I did not, the process of getting him here with me would take longer. :(

I have been reading the forums on K-3 and looking at the samples and I am getting ready to submit the I-130 and before I do, I need some assistance :help: . In looking at the samples for the G-325A I did not see one listed under the K-3 forms sample list. I really need a step-by-step guide in completing this form, not only for me, but for my spouse and I didn't want to sound stupid after looking at the information already presented.

Also I did not want to make any mistakes in submitting any documents. As that will make the process longer as well. Please list those other documents needed that go along with the submission of the I-130. This will be very, very helpful for me and my spouse.

I thank VJ and everyone here for all of their support and assistance. May God continue to Bless all of you. and congratulations :dance: to all who have their spouses with them and for those waiting, Keep The Faith. :D

Hi,

Ladylove2006

Welcome to VJ :jest::jest::jest:

I filed K-1 so I am unsure of the specifics for filing the K-3, I did copy this link from a previous post samples of the G325A forms. The only specific thing I can remember about filling the forms is that your husband should fill out and sign all 4 of the forms, I don't know if you had this done during visit. I hope you did as this will prevent from him having to print and send you these documents via courier service. I am sure you will get more great advice on what you need to file for K-3. The best advice I can give to you is spend sometime on VJ getting accquainted as this site has so much valuable info. Wishing you a speedy visajourney!!!!!!

Congrats on your marriage. When I started my journey in Aug of 5 The first place I hit was ther headers on the top of the page.. The one for guides has a very detailed description of the K3 process. Make sure that you make 2 copies of everything.. It will pay off in the end. The Visa Faq header is also guud it answers some basic questions like this one:

|10.2)...How do I prepare the I-130 package to start the process for a K3?

A..Please see the K-3"Step-by-Step Guide". In short though you will require the following forms:

Payment

I-130 Petition for Immediate Relative

G-325A Biographic Information -- 2 required. One is filled out and signed by you, the other is filled out and signed by the spouse.

A copy of your birth certificate, passport, or Certificate of Naturalization (you have to prove you are a US Citizen).

A certified copy of your marriage certificate.

A photo of yourself (see note) with your name printed on the back of the photo.

A photo of your spouse (see note) with the spouse's name printed on the back of the photo.

A copy of the divorce decree, if you were previously married.

A copy of the death certificate if your marriage ended due to the death of your spouse.

A copy of the divorce decree, if your spouse was previously married.

A copy of the death certificate if your spouse's marriage ended due to the death of their spouse.

A check or money order for the required fee.

I used the same G-325 guide you have there and on the bottom instead of I-129 I put K3 Spousal Visa and they will infer the rest. If you have any more questions feel free to email me. Again Congrats and Good luck on the rest of your journey!

Thanks so much for the information. :D

I did have him complete during the visit and I wanted to make sure it was completed correctly before I submit it. I don't want any mistakes to delay his coming. :(

I put I-129F Petition but in my package along with the I-129F we included a cover letter clearly stating it was for a K3 Visa along with marriage certificate and NOA1 from the I-130 submission... I hope that doesn't delay my K3!

I used them as well so that shouldnt delay anything.. that is all listed under the "Guides" header. I was just showing her an example of what she would find there and in the " Visa Faq" header. There is some very detailed info listed there. I hope you remembered to make 2 copies of everythintg sent even the payment just in case. Good luck in the rest of your joutrney as well!
