hello VJ READERS, i was confused and asked about k3 visa before , AND IAM STILL CONFUSED , as some people say it is obsolete, and takes same time as CR1 VISA ,,and cancelled at nvc,,, but what if i take longer time in approval of i-130 than usuall , - i have history with that - wont this k3 visa hep then ?

my wife medical condition is critical , can we expedite k3 medically easier than cr1 visa?

what are the fees for k3 visa ?

does application for k3 visa means that our marriage is just for papers coz we want to hurry it ? ??coz it is not , i love my wife ,and she is the one insists on try the k3 visa

any way , what do u think ? should i go or should i wait for cr1 ?

has any one got approval for k3 before cr1 and visa issued ?

Why do you insist in doing something you can't? K-3 is obsolete. You CAN'T apply for it. Forget it. CR-1.

Don't ever do anything you're not willing to explain the paramedics.

You can file a K3 but it will probably get closed at NVC . Both use the same criteria for an expediate. You CAN NOT expediate name checks and AP which is extremely common where you are.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

Shekoo

The K3 will cost alot more and you cannot work for a long time in the usa

The last K3 in Egypt took 693 days back in October 2011

The K3 takes too long and costs too much and you cannot do anything is USA cause it is treated like a nonimmigrant visa.

The choice is yours

Here is the K3 timelines for Egypt

:thumbs: CR1

Oh no, please! Let them apply for a K-3. Apparently it's *NOT* obsolete and it will result in an approval at the NVC stage. Of course, the info came from a misinformed embassy staff associate. Clearly they have the time and money to spend it freely....

If I am not mistaking from all the reading and asking questions, i do believe K3 is no longer used forany cases. theya re all now CR1's. If u tried to file a K3, i believe they will jus deny it and tello u , that you should have filed a CR1 cos these are what are accepted now. As of last year they started this!
