Hello all,

Consider carefully the K-3, it costs more than CR-1 visa.

K-3 cannot immediately work, and needs to pay $1010 to adjust status.

CR-1 takes just a bit longer to process, and results in green-card issued upon entry/

Now a days, K3 is not faster any more. I am in the middle of NVC processing of I130 now, and received NOA2 of I129F yesterday. I would ignore k3...

NVC processing your visa petition yet your profile says AOS pending?

Also Note, in many cases USCIS recalls I-130 from NVC and sends I-129F on to them for K-3 visa.

DITTO!

K3s are a LOT,LOT more paperwork also.

They are basically dinosaurs at this time.

They sound good until you have to go thru all the expense and HASSLE of adjusting status.

K1 denied, K3/K4, CR-1/CR-2, AOS, ROC, Adoption, US citizenship and dual citizenship

!! ALL PAU!
