  • I need help with understanding K3 visas

    I married the love of my life in Texas in December last year
    He is a US citizen
    I am Australian
    He is currently serving in Afghanistan for the next 12 months
    I want to be in the states when he returns in june/july 2009 and stay there for upto six months...
    I looked at some information about the K3 visa
    and from what i understand my husband has to fill out alot of paperwork which will be near impossible for him to do in afganistan....

    Can anyone help me understand the K3 visa or recommend a different visa to get that i dont need his help with?????
    Would it be easier to just get a tourist visa seeing as i dont want to be come a U.S citizen?

    thanks for your help =)

    Marriage based visa

    Only a US citizen can apply for a marriage based visa (K1, K3, CR1). You could certainly fill out all the papers for him, but he would have to sign them and get them back to you to put together with the proof of having met in person and proof of marriage and mailing it for him. There have been cases where the military has been able to expedite the whole process, but I believe that's when the person is due to be deployed.

    If you don't want to live permanently in the US with your husband and get a green card, then none of the above sounds like what you need. If you just want to visit with him next summer, then maybe you should look into tourist visas. How were you in Texas to get married? If you came on a tourist visa with the real intent of getting married, then you must be careful because that can be considered fraud. It had to be a spur of the moment thing that you hadn't planned before you entered the US if you get my drift.
