Is the K-1 an IMMIGRANT or NON-IMMIGRANT Visa?

[~Laura and Nick~ 5]

Look like this has been well covered! I laughed too when I first saw the Embassy juggle with it. She is a non-immigrant but when you marry and go to adjust status she will be now immigrating. So they are saying, treat the K visa like an immigrant visa without the official title.

Some people call it a 'hybrid'.

It's non-immigrant with immigrant intent. If it was "really" an immigrant visa, then no AOS would be necessary.

I agree

to make it simple although theres no 3rd type, for us applicants the K visa are under "NON IMMIGRANT WITH IMMIGRANT INTENT" thats better....

What makes it even more confusing is that even the consulates are not clear on the concept. For example if you go to the US Embassy in Moscow, then to the Visa Services section, you will find Fiance Visas under the Immigrant Visas section. Go figure.

That's what originally caused my confusion Kirk!

but what if u already have an immigrant visa petition before that is now pending and sitting in NVC and had K1 visa already approved what do I need to write in DS 156 form #36 HAS ANYONE EVER FILED AN IMMIGRANT VISA PETITION ON YOUR BEHALF? (IF YES,WHO?)

I had an employer before who filed I-140 for me because of retrogression in nurses it was still pending and no visa available. I decided to cancel my immigrant petition once i arrive in vegas coz my fiance doesnt want to relocate in california where my employer is located.

No need to post this twice in the same forum. You answer truthfully, of course.
