K-3

[turtle74 0]

My wife got her K3 last week. Is there a time frame of when she has to come here? I'm in the middle of my boards, and her sister is planning to visit the PI in a few months. Is there a time frame for when she HAS to come? And number of entries?

K-3 is a 2 year multi entry visa, so anytime within the 2 years indicated on the visa.

K3s are valid for travel to US for 6 months from the date of visa issuance.

I don't think the 6 months can be extended.

After record of arriving in the US [i-94] they are good for 2 years of multiple entries from date of arrival.

Would have been nice if you had continued with the I-130!

K-3 status extends for two years after entry entry into the United States. Your status will end sooner if your marriage ends, or if K-3 holder obtains a status of Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR). K-4 status is also valid for two years, unless a child turns 21, gets married, or when his/her K-3 parent becomes a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR).

Lots of confusion on when the 2 years start.

Alls I know is my wife and anaks I-94 they received at POE had a 2 year expiration date on it.

I'm sorry, but I'm more confused now.

Go with the length of validity stated for K-3 by the Department of State, K-3 has a period of validity of 24 months.

Just read K-3 on the Philippines Reciprocity Schedule.
