fiance in the USA or in another country, the foreign fiance goes
back to their country, the U.S. citizen applies to the Service Center
for an I-130 spousal visa petition.
When the US citizen receives the notice of receipt from the service
center for the I-130 petition, the US citizen files
an I-129F petition to the Chicago center address for
a K-3 visa. Chicago sends this to the Missouri Center, and after
Missouri approves the petition, it is forwarded to the foreign US
consulate.

fiance visa process. The K-3 spouse files for adjustment of
status after entering the U.S., however has 2 years in which to
do so. (The visa is a 2-year multiple re-entry visa).

What Is a
K-3 Visa?
Spouses of U.S. citizens, and the spouse's children, can come
to the United States on nonimmigrant visas (K-3 Visa and K-4 Visa)
and wait in the United States to complete the immigration process.
Before a K-4 visa can be issued to a child, the parent must have
a K-3 visa or be in K-3 status.
What Is a "Spouse"?
A spouse is
a legally wedded husband or wife. Cohabiting partners
do not qualify as spouses for immigration purposes. Common-law spouses
may qualify as spouses for immigration purposes depending on the
laws of the country where the common-law marriage occurs. In cases
of polygamy only the first spouse qualifies as a spouse for immigration.
U.S. law does not allow polygamy.
If you were married before, you and your spouse must show that
you ended (terminated) all previous marriages before your current
marriage. The death and divorce documents that show termination
of marriages must be legal and verifiable in the country that issued
them. Divorces must be final. In cases of legal marriage to two
or more spouses at the same time, or marriages overlapping for
a period of time, you may file only for the first spouse.
Filing - Two Petitions are
