Is it possible to ammend a K-1 petition to a K-3 for spouse...heres the deal my filipina fiance and myself recently sent a petition for a K-1 fiance visa for family reasons though we have decided to get married here in the philippines. Does anyone know if that K-1 which was recently recieved can be ammened to a K-3 with all the extra and other neccessary paperwork sent in. or is the filing fee for the K-1 and all the other effort that went into it have to be started anew??? hope someone has useful information with regards to these thanks in advance for any serious replies

If you decide to marry in the Philippines, you must cancel the K-1 petition, and apply for a K-3. You will have to fill out all the new paperwork, and pay all the K-3 fees.

Best of luck

No, a K-1 cannot be changed to a different type of visa.

If you marry in the Phillipines you will have to submit the petition for a spousal visa and start all over, with new fees.

Also, the K3 is going to take longer than the K1 would've taken. You need to start all over again.
