Legal Question in Immigration Law in Pennsylvania
help
I am from Canada (Canadian Citizen) & was awaiting K1 approval. However, I came to states to visit my Fiance and we got a bit carried away and got married. I am still here. Is there anyway I can be approved on K3 while staying with my husband in the states. By the way, the K1 was approved shortly after we were married. I would appreciate an answer. Thank you so much.

Re: help
You asked about converting a K-1 visa (fiance) to a K-3 visa (spouse).
You need to hire an immigration attorney to file for a change of status. There is usually no problem though it may take up to a year for you to obtain a legal permanent resident status.
Congratulations and regards,
