K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhat to do if you eloped?

The Guides at the top of the VJ page are a great place to start your research. There are many sample forms and timelines as well.

Coming to visit your USC spouse and telling the immigration official that it's just a visit might not be too believable. He could get turned away at the US POE. Coming as a tourist with a visa, or coming from a visa waiver country, with the intent to adjust status isn't legal.

Surf around VJ a bit. You've found a great do it yourself resource if you decide to go that way (w/o an attorney).



Would you suggest hiring an attorney?

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhat to do if you eloped?
Hi,

Here is my and my husband's situation. After getting to know one another on-line for just over a year, he came to visit and stayed for one month. We knew then that one day we wanted to get married, but had no set plans on where we would live, the U.S. or New Zealand or even somewhere else. He returned for three months about two and a half months after his first visit, waving the visa. Our intention was just to have another visit. However, towards the end of his visit, we were very certain that marriage was what we wanted, so we were legally married in the U.S., our intention being that I would immigrate to N.Z. His three months being up, he returned home. Because of legal reasons (I have physical custody, but not legal custody of my two children from a previous marriage) immigrating to N.Z. just does not seem possible for several years. We desperately want to be together and the children miss him too, so we're looking into the possibility of him immigrating here as a permanent resident. I have the I-130 form, the G-325A form, and the I-864 form. What USCIS did not mention on their phone menu or send me was a K-3 form. Where do I get one? Also, he would like to return on a visa to at least visit, and hopefully stay. Is there any other sort of visa he should apply for? Can he apply for a visitor's visa and then once here, file an I-130 and a K-3? We're terribly confused.

Thanks!
