I need to find out as much information as possible. What is the difference between a K-1 Visa and a K-3 Visa?

Also, need to know can we file for either one of these are selves? or should we have an attorney?

I am in Indiana and my fiance' is in Canada.

Please, I am trying to gather as much information as possible before making a decision.

Thank you in advance,

For starters...

See http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?pg=compare .

See http://www.k1faq.com/ .

See "Sponsoring a Fiance or Spouse for a Green Card" http://tinyurl.com/34m9q (same as http://www.nolo.com/lawcenter/ency/a...B7AEE732ECA9AB) . (Especially this part: If the immigrant used a tourist or other visa to get to the United States for the primary purpose of getting married, see an attorney. The immigrant could be found liable for visa fraud, and denied the green card as a result.")

While I haven't read it I would have gotten this book if I'd known about it in time, since Nolo Press has a good reputation in the legal self-help field: "Fiance & Marriage Visas: A Couple's Guide to U.S. Immigration" http://tinyurl.com/37ppc (same as http://www.nolo.com/lawstore/product...24281B1AB24AB9 .

zippy,

A K1 visa is for people who are not married, want to live in the USA, and will marry after the alien fiance(e) arrives in the US.

A K3 visa is for people who are already married, want to live in the USA, and want the alien spouse to enter the US without waiting the lengthier amount of time it takes to get a family-based immigrant visa.

Other posters have already told you where to find the information you seek.
