My noncitizen spouse’s K-3 status is about to expire, and we are still waiting approval of adjustment of status. Is there anything we can do to keep the K-3 status?
Yes, the K-3 visa holder can apply for an extension of status by filing Form I-539, Application for Extension of Stay, with USCIS no more than 120 days prior to the expiration of the K-3 visa. By obtaining an extension of K-3 status, your spouse will be able to leave the United States and return without advance parole. Your spouse may also choose to apply for advance parole based on the pending application for adjustment of status. If your spouse wants to apply for advance parole, he or she will need to file Form I-131, Application for Travel Document.
