The K-3 visa allows an immigrant spouse to enter the US while their I-130 immigrant petition is pending with USCIS. Unmarried children under 21 years of age may also enter with the K-3 visa recipient with a K-4 visa.
The process requires multiple applications to be filed with USCIS. Once those applications are approved by USCIS, additional applications will need to be filed with the US State Department.
As a practical matter, while this visa is available, it rarely makes sense to file a K-3 visa application. In most cases, a K-1 fiancee visa, or an I-130 immigrant petition for permanent residence based on marriage, are processed by USCIS quicker or at the same time as the K-3. In that situation, it makes more sense to directly file the K-1 or immigrant petition instead of the K-3 application.
