May I need an official oath regarding my relationship?

The K-3 visa requires solid proof of the relationship, but usually does not require an official oath, only detailed evidence and, in specific cases, formal statements.

The K-3 visa was created to help speed up the reunion of couples, allowing the spouse of a United States citizen to enter the country while the immigration process is ongoing. At this stage, it is essential to demonstrate the genuineness of the relationship, but usually this process does not require a specific official oath regarding the relationship.

Normally, what is requested is that the couple present strong evidence of the union, such as marriage certificates, photos, records of joint travels, messages, and statements from close people who can attest to the authenticity of the relationship. In certain situations – for example, if there are doubts about the truthfulness of the information provided – immigration authorities may require formal or sworn statements (affidavits) as part of the set of evidence. These documents are not an ”official oath” about the relationship itself, but rather formal means to reinforce the truthfulness of the union.

It is important to always follow the United States immigration laws and regulations and seek information through reliable sources. Be wary of marketing campaigns and guaranteed result promises, as the process may involve various nuances that depend on the specific case. Caution is recommended and, whenever necessary, consultation with specialists who can provide detailed guidance; always remembering that each case has its particularities.

In summary, although it is not common for an official oath to be required, being prepared to present detailed evidence and, if requested, formal statements can be fundamental for the success of the K-3 visa application.
