My wife passed her K3 interview on Monday in Taiwan. She said it was not difficult and only took about 10 minutes. I don't have the details yet about all the questions they asked her. For my I-134, I had given three years of tax returns plus lots of asset information and she says they did not take any of it except the form itself.

It looks like the CR-1 will be following close behind. She has already sent back the DS-3032 choice of agent and I have sent in the affidavit of support payment to NVC already. Even though we had to do the I-824 to move the I-130 to NVC after approval, both visas still look to be fairly close together.

Congratulations on the visa and the two-month I-824 process. I take it she'll be traveling back to Taiwan for a CR1 interview in the future. "Close" is a relative term. You're three or four months from a CR1 interview.

Yes, she will go back to Taiwan for the CR-1 interview.

You are right, "close" is a relative term :) I guess after going through this process, it makes it seem like a few months is not so far. Kind of like when the gas prices go up $3 a gallon and then drop by 10 cents and we feel a little better for some reason. :D
