First K3 I have seen for many years.

Why?

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

My I-130 was approved first in USCIS. We always call NVC to get a case number but they keep on sying that it is not yet on their system.. until one day when my hubby called NVC they told him that they still dont have the I-130 but they do have the 129F on their system.. Few days later he called again and then told him that the case was already forwarded to my consulate.. Almost a month, i receiived a letter from the US embassy saying im eligible for medical and interview.

Have you informed them that you already have your K3? Because you should be adjusting your status not continuing processing for the CR1 visa which would require an interview abroad. Granted with a K3 you have multiple entries but the point was to get to the USA faster was it not?
