K3 Travel

[manuidf78 0]

Dear All,

During the K3 process can I enter in the USA to visit my wife ( vacation) ?

Is it illegal? Can I request in parallel for another visa ( is it possible during the K3 process to request for a second one, like the B2)?

Thanks for your answer.

Yes you can on the visa waiver program from France.

Question gets asked a few times every day on VJ, Example http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...st&p=950718

Yes many do on the Visa/Waiver program from France, you need to be prepared to demonstrate strong ties back home, like apartment lease, letter from employer, pay stubs, ect.

Is asked so much that there is a FAQ about it.

4.6)...Can my fiance(e) come to the US to visit me once the visa process is started?

This may actually be the most common question in the newsgroup, asked on a near daily basis.

A..I wrote to the Embassy in London and I was given this reply: "If you wish to make a temporary visit to the US while your application for a Fiance(e) visa is being processed, you will require a visitor's visa (B-1/B-2) or, if you meet the conditions, travel visa-free. However, all travelers to the US are subject to inspection at the port of entry by an immigration officer who has the right to deny admissions. As the beneficiary of an approved Fiance(e) visa (petition) you may have difficulty convincing the officer that you are not an intending immigrant."

A.. If the fiance(e)..."Has a residence in a foreign country which the alien does not intend to abandon", and if the fiance(e) is "An alien coming to meet the alien's fiance(e)'s family (to become engaged; to make arrangements for a wedding; or to renew a relationship with the prospective spouse)", then they can enter the US on a B2 visa. (Quotes from the USCIS (INS) Inspectors Field Manual). This does not specifically address an alien with a "K1 visa application pending". Proving an intention to return home might mean showing...

• Current enrollment in school
  
• Employment in the home country
  
• Strong family ties to the home country
  

This question does not have a good answer. Many people visit the US during the Process, but some newsgroupers have reported that once the initial background check is done by the Consulate, subsequent visits to the US required an additional FBI check done by the Consulate, which resulted in a delay in the visa application process. Refer questions regarding experiences to the newsgroup.

Thanks for your feedback.

You show me proof for visa K1 fiance.

Us we are already married, that's why we ask for the K3 visa.

Does it make any difference to enter in the usa to visit her, or is it the same way than a Fiance?

It is the same case for K-3.
