How long for k-3 visa for a foreign spouse to immigrate to US?

The website for US immigrations is purposely vague, and immigrations attorneys don't even want to guesstimate without a hefty retainer. Anybody have experience with this? My fiance lives in France and we plan to marry there after my divorce is final. Also, if anyone knows the approximate $ figure for the k-3 visa and his green card, that would be helpful as we have to plan for it financially.

First off the K-3 is virtually obsolete


Use the CR1

Overall say about $1500 without a lawyerHow long for k-3 visa for a foreign spouse to immigrate to US?
DO NOT USE K-3!!!! If you marry your fiance in France, or wherever you marry her....DO NOT USE K-3 to bring her over. Use I-130. It is faster. In fact, nobody uses k-3 anymore. It should cost, all in all, less than $2000, and should take up to 1 year after you submit the 1st petition. If you live inthe USA, please see a responsible lawyer about this. If you live in the Washington DC area, I strongly recommend Luis Paoli or Orlando Gamarra. You probably won't get charged more than $150 for consultation, but it's worthwhile. Or, visit the below website for a list of recommended attorneys in your area.
Hi Kate





The other 2 answers you got are rubbish. The CR1 is a Conditional Resident so if you enter the U.S. on CR1 it has a 2 year expiration date before you can apply for an adjustment of status and Permanent Resident. Being it will take 12 to 14 months for the K3 Visa you can apply for the PRC 90 days before your 2 year anniversary date. Then you will have a 10 year PRC and not a 2 year Conditional. Less Time, less money.





The I-130 you will file in addition to the I-129f and after that is approved it will be forward to France for review. Your Fiance will get 2 letter from the US Consulate the second will be an interview date for the K3 visa. I work with people that marry in China. The wait time for an interview after you file with USCIS is about 10 to 12 months. The cost for my people is about $2200 over that 14 month time frame. I have a free series for my subscriber an last about 28 days. You are welcome to to subscribe at my website. The see the source below. Good Luck to you and your fiance.
