Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a K-1 and K-3 visa?
The K-1 visa allows a foreign fiancé(e) of a U.S. citizen to enter the U.S. for marriage. The couple must marry within 90 days.
The K-3 visa is for foreign spouses of U.S. citizens, intended to shorten the wait abroad while the green card process is pending.
How long does it take to get a K-1 or K-3 visa?
Processing times vary. K-1 visas often take 8–12 months, while K-3 visas depend on both USCIS and embassy backlogs.
Do we need to marry within a specific time?
Yes. For a K-1 visa, the marriage must occur within 90 days of arrival in the U.S.
Can my fiancé(e) work after arriving in the U.S.?
Yes. K-1 and K-3 visa holders can apply for a work permit (EAD) once in the U.S.
Do we need to prove our relationship is real?
Yes. Applicants must provide strong evidence of a genuine relationship—such as photos, travel records, messages, and affidavits—to avoid delays or denials.
