The K-3 visa was created to reduce the separation immediate family members may experience while waiting abroad for an immigrant visa. The K-3 visa benefits spouses and children under 21 of U.S. citizens, who are waiting abroad for an immigrant visa. This allows them to come to the U.S. as non-immigrants, re-unite with their family here, and then apply for permanent resident status while in the United States.

Pursuant to this nonimmigrant visa classification, spouses of U.S. citizens are granted "K-3" visa and the unmarried children (under age 21) are granted a "K-4" visa. In order to qualify for the "K-3" visa, the U.S. citizen spouse must first file a visa petition (Form I-130) for the alien spouse and then file a K-3 Petition (Form 129F), after receiving the I-130 receipt notice from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service, (USCIS). The USCIS must approve the K-3 Petition before the spouse and children become eligible to apply for a "K" visa from the Consulate abroad. To be eligible for a "K-4" visa, a child applicant does not need to have a separate Form I-130 or Form I-129F. "The K-4" applicant must be the unmarried child (under 21 years of age) of the "K-3" visa applicant.
