What is a K-3 Visa?
A K-3 visa is technically a nonimmigrant visa. The K-3 visa is for spouses of U.S. Citizens where a Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) has been filed but has not yet been approved by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or has been approved by USCIS but has not yet been received by the Immigrant Visa Unit of the U.S. Embassy in Managua. This visa allows the alien fiancé to travel to the U.S. and then become a Legal Permanent Resident via adjustment of status. K-4 visas are for the children of K-3 applicants.
