I'm Kevin, French citizen, and I am married to Dixie (USC). We got married almost 5 years ago in Dayton, OH. After the wedding, she finished her degree and then joined me 3 months later in France.
We're now thinking about probably going back to the US in the next few years.
If I understood correctly, she'll have to fill out the I-130 form for me, so that I can apply for a K-3 IR-1 visa.
My question is: once the visa is approved (if it is approved, of course), is there a time limit to enter the US permanently or non-permanently before the visa expires?
The plan would be to start the process soon, so that when we decide to finally go, the process and procedures don't block us and are already taken care of.
