CR-1

[Shun 0]

Hello everyone,

I have a question. Before i call NVC I want to know for how long they keep the cases. I had my K-3 on February and I entered country on March but we want to go for CR-1. The thing is that we haven't heard about CR-1. SO that means NVC didn't process our CR-1 case since i had K-3? If not i am wondering if there is any chance that we can go on with CR-1. Cause we don't want to go AOS since it takes a lot of time.

Thanks in advance.

If you entered the country on a K-3 visa, you have to adjust your status here in the United States. Since the K-3 was approved, there is no reason to call NVC, you are already in the country. Once you adjust your status here in the US, that is when they will either give you the CR-1 visa or the IR-1 visa depending on how long you have been married.

Not correct. If they want to travel back for a CR1 interview instead of adjusting status they may do so. First they'll have to determine whether their case was ever forwarded to NVC. If they've heard nothing by now, it probably wasn't, in which case they would need to file an I-824 to get the I-130 sent to NVC. Might not be worth it and few do it but it is definitely an option.

Since the petitions went through CSC in the spring of 2007, I suspect the I-130 was held per the policy at that time.

I did not know that was a possibility. but good to know for future purposes
