Will my interview be at the embassy or consulate?

The K-3 visa was created to facilitate the entry of the foreign spouse of a U.S. citizen, allowing them to await adjustment of status while already in the United States. It is important to understand how each step of the process works and strictly follow the rules and guidelines of immigration authorities to avoid setbacks and fraud.

The interview for the K-3 visa usually takes place at U.S. consular facilities in the applicant”s country, with the location – whether at an embassy or consulate – defined by the Department of State and officially communicated. The applicant should carefully read all received instructions, as the interview location will be informed after case screening by the National Visa Center.

If there are any doubts, it is recommended to confirm directly with the designated diplomatic mission. Always follow immigration rules and seek information from official sources or specialized organizations, avoiding scams and deceptive promises, to approach this stage with security and clarity.
