Hi guys,

I'm a little bit confused about K3 visa. I've sent i-130 petition and now wondering,

if I should prepare papers for K3 or should I just go with only i-130, it's CR1 right?

Please advise. :blink:

Thanks a lot!!

Don't file the I129F. The K-3 has been administratively closed as of February of this year

Stick on the path you're on.

Hey Art - Welcome Aboard !!! please review http://www.visajourney.com/news/2010/02/07/department-of-state-to-close-k-3-visas-if-i-129f-and-i-130-petitions-approved-and-received-together/

and

Comparison on K-3 vs CR-1 - http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/204324-wondering-if-i-made-a-mistake-marrying-in-us/page__view__findpost__p__3060767

IMO, filing an I-129F for subsequent K-3 visa , after the 1st of February, 2010, is a wasteless exercise, and actually pushes the I-130 'back' in the queue, 6 to 8 weeks.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Whoa Nelly ! Want NVC Info? see http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

Congratulations on your approval ! We All Applaud your accomplishment with Most Wonderful Kissies !

I really don't know your timeline.

Here is general ball park, unless there is RFE and/or complications:

1) 2 to 3 weeks to get NOA1 (receipt notice) after I-130 submission

2) 4 to 6 months to get NOA2 (approval notice) from the filing
