it seems many october filers finally received their NOA 1!! congrats.. this is a big relief....

mine was sent to texas, then went to CA, then off to chicago and my receipt came from Vermont.. anyways, mine was sent oct 12. USCIS received it OCT 16 07, and my notice date is JAN 11. check was cashed on JAN 15, got the NOA1 in the mail JAN 16.... I did apply for K3... I guess my best bet is which ever comes first.. we will go on that.. CR1 or K3... God knows..

what happens, if they reject K3 and stick you with the immigrant visa.. I don't understand the steps for a immigrant visa (for my husband) .. I understand how K3 works completely.. but not the i-130 deal.. can anyone break it down for me? thank you I am new to all this..

any help is appreciated!!

God Bless

A little taba at the top of every page here reads "Guides". Please start there and then come back with any question. The current policy is to approve both petitions together and then hold the I-130 until Adjustment of Status, so the chances of sticking you with a CR1 are pretty low. As you read more, though you may wish you weren't getting stuck with the K3.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...

I don't see how hard is the CR1 visa, infact it's a better visa. You don't have to pay for Adjustment Of Status.....which is cost $1010......ect. ect. But K3 is lesss paperworks for one reason......and get your loveones close to you ASAP. I don't believe on people saying they were HOLDING I-130 when you file I-129F. I called USCIS 3 days ago they said they don't hold any. and today I receive my I-864 bill and DS-3032.

To answer your question, pick which visa you want..........follow the guidelines what they sent to you.

CR-1 is not much different that K-3; with K-3 you mainly deal with USCSI and a week or to in NVC(national visa center) and off the Indian Embassy; once you hus/wife comes here then you file an AOS9Adjustment of status) and go through NVC to get a green card and SS#,

Basically with K-3 your hu/wife can’t work right-away when they arrive U.S. have to file for an AOS .. that AOS application is taking longer to process now a days.

With CR-1 your hus/wife get green card within days of arrival in the mail. the passport with act as a green card until the original one arrives.

With the recent delay I don’t know how different k-3 and CR-1 is …

According to the recent press release 1-485 (the form for AOS) is on the backburner

I don't know because this is a IR/CR forum not a K3....maybe others here know about the K3...but I'm sure those in the K3 forum could answer your questions. Good luck :)

A big difference, K3 is way way way faster But if you are not wealthy enough to pay adjustment of status and if you have a son (child) go with CR1.
