I have a friend who married his long time girlfriend while she was visiting him in the USA. It was sudden and unplanned. I would appreciate if someone could tell me do they then file for the K3 visa with the current address in the USA or back in Sweden at her original address. Now that they are married, she does not wish to return home so we were wondering if the US address would be correct.

Any help is appreciated. Has anyone done this route before?

Thanks! :)

If they married while she was visiting and will not return to her own country now, then they would not file for a K-3.

They need the I-130 and I-485 filed concurrently, plus a few other forms and supporting documents. Follow this guide > http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2

~ Moved from K-3 Process to AOS from Work, Student & Tourist Visas ~

Thank you very much KayDeeCee.

Christeen, I am trying but I did a K1 so this is a different thing for me and I don't have the time to put into it that I did my own visa process. :) I obviously was misunderstanding some things.

Then send ur friend over here to look up the info on AOS ... She has a visa to be here already (b1/2) she wants to adjust that visa to an immigrant visa (CR1) so hence the adjustment process...

Basically the same as you did for filing for AOS for the K-1, but they will need to also file an I-130 petition for an immediate relative(spouse in this case) at the same time. Point them to the guide here on VJ that I linked above.

Thanks!!!! I have sent them the link so that they know what to do. I had sent them to that page in the first place but was worried that I was missing something because their situation was so different from mine. Glad I was not as lost as I had thought I was. Thanks for taking the time to help!!!
