They told me that i can't apply for K-3 visa because i've been married for only 2 months. (I am from turkey and got married to american citizen)

kevin_nash

is there anyone who applied before 2nd anniversary of their marriage?

No I got my K3 in my passport and are moving over in 6 weeks and we got married 26th of dec las year. So just go for it for what I know.

You don't have to be married 2 years to file for a K-3, plenty of people have filed for K-3 immediately after their marriage.

In the consulates they didn't let me apply for K-3 because i wasn't married for 2 years. What should i do?

Who told you that??
That is so not true! I got married july 26 and I am going to apply for a k3
What it is about the 2 years is that If you have been married less than two years at the time you received your permanent residence based upon marriage to a citizen, then you will receive conditional permanent residence. After 21 months as a conditional permanent resident, you must apply to remove the conditions to become a permanent resident.

Good Luck!!

Did you file the I-130 first?? You have to do it order to apply for a k3..

Hi:

Oh, you have really got to be careful about "they" -- "They" is notorious for giving bad advice.

K-3 can be filed AFTER filing the I-130.

There is no minimum marriage time required to apply for K-3.
Where did you get this information?

Did BCIS approve the I-129F filed by your spouse?

Or, in Turkey, the I-130 can be filed directly at the Consulate and the individual can apply for an Immigrant Visa.

I told them i wanted to apply for k-3 after i fill I-130 but the officer told me to go home and fill the forms they gave me (I-130 and stuff like that) and send them to the consulates by mail and apply for immigrant visa. She said i can't get any other kinds of visas

meauxna

Is your USC spouse in Turkey now? If so, what's the problem. An Immigrant Visa is superior to a K3.

kevin_nash

yes that's true. The officer said i could get my immigrant visa in 3-4 months.

Either way, sounds like a plan and a solution.
Good luck.
