K-3 Fiance visa

After getting married you cannot file for K-1 visa as it is specifically for Fiance(e). Being you have no hurdles getting into US. after getting married to your boyfriend you can travel to US and file petition for your Husband i.e. K-3 visa which is a more quicker than the Green Card Family Based.

The K3 visas generally have shorter waiting periods compared to marriage-based immigration visa petitions

You can apply for a work permit by filing Form I-765 and engage in employment

Your children can accompany you to the U.S. on the K-4 dependent visa as long as they are named in the visa petition
Requirements for the K3 Visa

You may be eligible to receive the K3 visa if:

You are legally married to a U.S. citizen

You have a family based I-130 immigration petition filed by the U.S. citizen spouse on your behalf

You seek to enter the U.S. to await the approval of your green card petition and subsequent lawful permanent resident status

Applying for the K3 Visa

Before you apply for the K3 visa, your U.S. citizen spouse must file Form I-130 on your behalf with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) service center that has jurisdiction over your place of residence.

Your spouse will then receive Form I-797, Notice of Action, indicating that the USCIS has received the Form I-130. Your spouse should then file on your behalf a copy of this Form I-797 along with a USCIS Form I-129F to the following address:

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
P.O. Box 7218
Chicago, IL 60680-7218

The USCIS after adjudicating the Form I-129F forwards it to the appropriate American Consulate so that you can apply for the K3 visa.

Duration of Stay

You can remain in the U.S. while you wait for the approval of the Form I-130 and are able to apply for lawful permanent residence status (adjustment of status), or for a green card, instead of having to wait outside the U.S. as the law previously required.

For how long did he overstay his visa?

If he overstayed between 6 months and 1 year he is banned from returning to the US for 3 years.

If he overstayed more than 1 year, then he is banned from returning to the US for 10 years.
