is it permissible for an American citizen to marry a foreigner in her country, then submit an I-130 and K-3 visa simultaneously? If so, approximately what turn times would they be looking at?

[@ckkashala]

I was told takes 1 year for I-130 and 19 months for K-3 visa. Filling simultaneously sometimes speeds the I-130 process

[@chubsound]

With a K-3 Visa application and process, how much can be started before the wedding date?

[@directusimmigration]

The case can be prepared but it cannot be filed before the wedding date. In a lot of the cases, a marriage-based green card is a better option as opposed to the K-3 visa. To discuss further, please schedule a consultation with us at www.directusimmigration.com .

[@nahomg3241]

Thank you for the information really appreciate it. Do green card holders are illegible to file K-3 visa for their spouse ? Is it only US citizens have the illegibility to sponsor using K-3?

[@directusimmigration]

@@nahomg3241 The purpose of the consultation is to determine whether you qualify for a visa. If you do not qualify for that specific visa, then we ask additional questions to determine whether you qualify for another visa.

[@ransomemckissick8184]

What is the minimum courting time ; i.e., the time that the couple must have spent dating, before submitting the K-1 or K-3 , that USCIS would consider for the marriage to be legit? About 6 months, I would assume?

[@aquilajedi]

No minimum. But the application can take over 15 months and it doesn’t start until you’re 100% submitted.

[@sinatraforeign]

K-1 would require you 6-14 months USCIS approval before you could do the spousal VISA, which means you couldn't to the US at that time, and then work and stay in the US for 2.5 years with work permit for a greencard. while K-3 you needed to be married outside of the US, and the US spouse would file the documentations in the US and you could go to the US immediately, and work with permit and will receive the greencard 2.5years later.
