should i also pursue CR1?

Folks

I got curious and checked NVC for my spouse's I130 and noticed that NVC has assigned a case number to the application. I already had a K3 approved around the same time and due to quick turnaround by Chennai consulate did get visa for my spouse. She either ways would be travelling in Aug cause she is been recommended by doctors to fly after 3 months of her pregnancy.

I am trying to find out if its worthwhile to apply for CR1 considering her K3 is already approved and stamped?

any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Well, if your spouse cannot travel for a while, it might be worth while. Using the shortcuts and the on line payments, people are getting through the NVC in 4 to 6 weeks. Mine were just both approved and sent to NVC. I am pursuing both myself. and see which gets done first.

It is cheaper than AOS in the US, but remember, you have to interview in the Embassy overseas. So, if approved and you are in the US, you will have to return for the interview.

Based on the comments in your timeline, I see your K-3 process is moving in NVC and to Consulate. Did you confirm with NVC and Consulate, which track are they proceeding ??? If it is K-3, stick with K-3.

However, technically if I-130 is approved, K-3 can be invalidated. So, prepare yourself NOT to cancel CR1 route. CR1 route can also be faster. From the NVC Case# assignment, your beneficiary can finish the IV interview in around 3 months time - 1 to 1.5 months time in NVC and another 1 to 1.5 months time in the Consulate. Still, your wife can reach here by the end of Aug in CR1 route
