K-3 Visas: The US Travel Docs System

Transcript of the above video:

As the title of this video suggests, we are discussing the K-3 Visa specifically in the context of what is called the US Travel Docs System.

For those who are unaware, at the end of the process, and I am going to speak Thailand specific because the US Travel Docs System is actually country specific. It is a portal if you will in a way, to sort of interact and get the final touches on one's Visa applications complete, the administrative logistical aspects. For example, the place where you are going to mail the passport to once the Visa is issued, or if you are going to pick it up, the arrangements that need to be made to deal with that. All of this is sort of the final phase of dealing in this case what we are talking about is the K-3. After you have dealt with USCIS, oftentimes the National Visa Center, now you have come around, you are trying to get your interview set at the Embassy, you have got to go through this US Travel Docs system.

We do find a lot of people, it can be and let me be clear I do find you know folks at the US Embassy as well as folks we deal with when we have to deal with a problem in the Travel Docs System, they are responsive, they do what they do. To be clear it is my understanding that the Travel Docs system is not part of the US Government. It is kind of similar to VFS in other contexts. It is this interactive portal to finish off the logistical arrangements that need to be made to get the visa issued and sent out, you have got to deal with this system. We do find folks after they have been through the whole process they find themselves rather exasperated dealing with the US Travel Docs System because it can be again cumbersome and a little bit difficult to deal with especially for those who have never dealt with it before. We deal with it rather frequently so for me, at worst it might be a point where I sigh to myself and just get it done but I have dealt with the system basically since it came online so for me it is just, I won't say it is second nature because it is definitely not. It is not like that but it is not as difficult as for someone seeing it for the first time or coming upon it in the first instance. 

So the reason for the video is if you do find yourself having a lot of problems with that, it may behoove you to contact a legal professional in order to gain some insight and guidance into how best to proceed in concluding a case using the US Travel Docs System.
