Fiancee Visa

Who can benefit from a K4 visa?

A K4 visa is for an immigration applicant who is the minor, unmarried child of a qualified K-3 visa applicant.  A separate I-129F petition will not have to be filed for the K4 visa application.  The child-applicant need only be listed on the foreign spouse’s I-129F petition.  Nor will a separate I-130 petition for the child seeking K4 status be required. 

Why is a separate application not required? Because the child would acquire derivative status through his/her alien parent.  In other words, the child comes to the U.S. through the K4 visa only as a result of a parent coming to the U.S. through the parent's K3 visa.  So, most of the information required for the child is contained on the parent's application.

Also, remember that the K4 visa applicant must be under 21 years of age.

Travel While Under a K3 or K4 visa. If you come to the United States on a K3 or K4 visa, you may travel in and out of the U.S.  However, make sure your immigration attorneys assists you.  An adjustment application might be required prior to you departure from the U.S.  In that event, your departure will not (should not) be considered an abandonment of your immigration application.
