The K Visa: For Fiancés and Spouses of U.S. Citizens
The K Visa is a family-based immigration category created exclusively to allow U.S. citizens to bring their foreign fiancés or spouses to the United States.
It is divided into two main subcategories: the K-1 Visa (for fiancés) and the K-3 Visa (for spouses).
Both categories allow the beneficiary’s unmarried children under 21 to apply for visas, ensuring the entire family can reunite in the United States.
The K-1 Visa allows a U.S. citizen to bring their foreign fiancé to the U.S. for the purpose of getting married in the country within 90 days of entry.

After the marriage, the beneficiary can apply for an adjustment of status to become a permanent resident (Green Card holder). The K-3 Visa, on the other hand, is for spouses of U.S. citizens who have already married abroad and are awaiting the approval of an immigrant petition (Form I-130).
The K-3 allows the foreign spouse to enter the U.S. while waiting for the Green Card to be processed, speeding up the family reunion. The K Visa process requires proof of a genuine relationship, detailed documentation, and, in many cases, rigorous consular interviews. It is one of the most sensitive categories in U.S. immigration, as it involves both emotional aspects and strict legal requirements. Therefore, specialized legal guidance is essential to ensure all steps are completed correctly.
This is the ideal Visa for couples who want to build a life together in the United States
If you are in a serious relationship with a U.S. citizen and plan to marry or are already married, this visa offers the most direct path to family reunification. Each petition is carefully reviewed by USCIS and U.S. consulates abroad, so proper documentation preparation and building a strong case are essential. If this profile reflects your situation, we are ready to guide you through every step.
Fiancés (K-1) of U.S. citizens who have met in person and intend to marry in the U.S. within 90 days.
Spouses (K-3) of U.S. citizens who have already filed Form I-130 and are seeking to reduce their waiting time abroad.
Petitioners who need to prove the legitimacy of the relationship, demonstrating the intent to marry (K-1) or the validity of the marriage (K-3).
Individuals who have a genuine and documented relationship, with evidence of communication, travel, and intent to live a marital life.
Parents of children under 21 who wish to include their children in the petition as derivative beneficiaries (K-2 or K-4).

What is the difference between the K-1 and K-3 Visas?
The K-1 Visa is for fiancés of U.S. citizens who wish to enter the U.S. to get married. After the marriage, the beneficiary applies for an adjustment of status to permanent residency. The K-3 Visa, on the other hand, is for spouses who have already married abroad and are awaiting the processing of their Green Card. The K-3 allows for a faster family reunion while the immigration process is ongoing.
How long does the K Visa process take?
The average time varies depending on the case volume at USCIS and the U.S. consulate in the fiancé(e)’s home country. After the initial approval, the beneficiary must attend a consular interview, undergo a medical examination, and wait for the visa to be issued. Advance planning and complete documentation help to speed up the process.
Can I include my children in the K Visa petition?
Yes. The unmarried children under 21 of K-1 and K-3 beneficiaries can accompany the principal applicant with K-2 and K-4 visas, respectively, which allows them to enter the U.S. with their parent.
Is the K-3 Visa necessary for all spouses of U.S. citizens?
No. The K-3 is an option used to reduce waiting time when the I-130 petition is still pending. Many couples choose to skip the K-3 and proceed directly with Immigrant Visa Consular Processing or Adjustment of Status, depending on current processing times.
Can I work immediately with a K-1 or K-3 Visa?
K-1 Visa holders need to apply for and receive an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) after entering the U.S. K-3 Visa holders are also eligible for an EAD.
