... in response to Re: Are K3's revocable?, posted by LP on May 20, 2005I really feel for you Frank but this is not the end of the world. I went through a similar experience with my first wife. Different country but similar emotions. After she was here for a week or so, she started crying a lot and saying that she just wanted to go home. It was simply a bad case of homesickness and I didn’t quite know how to handle it at the time. We toughed it out and things improved with time. After a couple of months, things settled down and we ended up having a really good marriage that lasted 23 years and produced three wonderful kids.
LP and KenC gave you some real good advice. Do whatever it takes to buy some time and it’s very important to help her keep busy. Take a few weeks off of work anyway you can so you can be there to support her. Take some short trips or make it a second honeymoon. Don’t leave her alone now and try to give her a chance to get over it. If her mom is against you and talking her into returning, then get her out of the house for a while where mom can’t call her easily.
As for your question about revoking the K-3: IF you should divorce, then technically her visa validity ends when the marriage ends. You could cancel your I-130 petition by sending a signed, notarized letter to the Service Center or to the NVC depending on where it is in the process. With the K-3 visa in her passport, she may be able to get on a plane for the States during the next 2 years, but she may be turned away at the POE if you notified CIS that your marriage was ended and you canceled the petition. They should change her status in their computer system and it will show up when she tries to clear immigration. Even if she did get into the country again, who cares? You did your part in notifying the government so it wouldn’t be your problem any more anyway.
I hope things work out for you two…
