What are the limitations of a K-3 or K-4 visa?
DHS only admits K-3 or K-4 visas holders for a two-year period. K-3 or K-4 visa holders may apply to USCIS for an extension of status in two-year increments as long as the marriage-based I-130 visa petition or a corresponding application for adjustment of status or visa application is still pending adjudication.
Under what circumstances does a K-3 visa holder’s authorized stay automatically expire?
A K-3 visa holder's authorized stay automatically will expire 30 days after any of the following events:
- USCIS denies the I-130 visa petition filed by the U.S. citizen petitioner on the K-3 visa holder’s behalf; or
- USCIS denies an adjustment-of-status application filed by the K visa holder; or
- If for some reason the K-3 visa holder decides to apply for an immigrant visa at the appropriate U.S. consulate abroad and the consulate denies the immigrant visa application; or
- Divorce of the K-3 spouse from the U.S. citizen petitioner.
