K3 or 130?

[mrconover 0]

We just recieved notice that both our i129f (spousal) and i130 were approved on the same day. I have read the guides for both 129f and 130. The 130 looks to have some benefits being an immigrant visa and permanent resident status as soon as my wife enters. Sounds great but is this going to be more of a headache at the interview in juarez? Is there any negatives to the i130 route that I am not seeing? Is it any more difficult to obtain, slower, etc? Remember we have already recieved the NOA2 for both i129f and i130.

Thanks

There is no doubt, and consensus in these forums that the I-130 is teh better visa all around.

If all other things being equal, you would probably seriously consider "punting" the K-3

Just found out that the waiting time for the interview at the Juarez consulate is more than a year for the CR1 and the K3 is usually about a month. K3 it is.

thats what i was about to post..depending on the consulate, the interview wait time can be a deciding factor.

good luck and congrats on the approvals

Then in your situation, all other things are very much NOT equal.
