Does the K-3 visa applicant need the I-864, Affidavit of Support?

K3 visa applicants DO NOT need to submit the Form I-864 Affidavit of Support, until they adjust status to lawful permanent residency in the United States in the U.S. However, the Affidavit of Support for non immigrant visas, may be deemed appropriate by the consular officer.

What is advance parole? Do I need to apply for Advance Parole if I have a K3 visa?

If I am out of status may I obtain a K3 visa?

K3 visa applicants are subject to the 3 year bar if they accrued more than 180 days of unlawful presence in the US. If they accrued one or more years of unlawful presence they are subject to a 10 year bar. However, they may apply for a waiver to overcome the 3 or 10 year bar.
