Applying for just the right immigration status for you involves an analysis of your life, employment and family situation.
There may be more than one option available to you. Typically, a person comes to the United States first to visit. Most often this is the sole goal of entering this country.
Thereafter, circumstances evolve so as to create opportunities or desires to stay here for other reasons, and for various periods of time. Therefore, it is possible that one or more statuses can end up as part of your immigration path.
The Temporary Visas and Permanent Residence options contained in this section explain the various categories that exist under U.S. immigration laws. You can click on any of the visa options listed to get a detailed explanation of the specific options.

K-3 SPOUSES OF US CITIZENS AND THEIR CHILDREN
The K-3 status is given to spouses of U.S. citizens whose petitioners have already filed immigrant peitions on their behalf. The benefit of the K-3 is that it permits faster processing and quicker reuniting of the family when the processing times for the immigrant petition are backlogged. Upon entry to the U.S., an application for permanent residence is then filed.
