Hello everyone , I am confused about the k3 route, Please explain it to me. My question is. What if I will not get the visa for k3? Can I just wait for the CR-1? My understanding was that if I will get interviewed for K3 it means that the CR-1 will no longer be my category?? PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME GUYS> THank you very much! Good Luck to all of us!

Hi,

Are you married already? Did you marry here in Phils? All you need to do is submit the I-130 form without the I-29F. I submitted both and it only delayed my papers.

If you submit the I-130 with the I-29F you will be charged for about $1,000 when you arrive in the US so they can convert it to CR1.

Don't know what other Vjs say.

Blessings,

Jill

If the K3 visa is issued or denied, you still have the CR1 interview option provided your I-130 gets through NVC and on to USEM. However, if the K3 is denied, the reason would still exist and most likely impact any CR1 interview as well. A CR1 denial would kill the K3 option but generally a K3 interview would come first.

Hi Pushbrk

I was wondering the same thing. I applied both petitions and intend to give priority to the K3/K4 because of my step sons who should be given K4 visas (The kids do not have I-130 petitions yet). Weve been married since March '05 and have shared assets back in the country. He should be able to provide everything they ask for the K3/K4 interview. What would be the reason for denying the K3/K4? Can they just decide to deny it just because they know there would be an I-130 coming along? I am just very paranoid right now. Msnoob has tried calming my fears and I am grateful to her.

Ps. I was unable to apply for the Kids I-130 at that point in time when I was completing my husband's petition.

If Consulates denied K3 and K4 visas because an I-130 was filed, there would never be any K3 or K4 visas. There's always an I-130 filed but that doesn't mean the Consulate will ever see it. This is a non-issue.

However, by not filing I-130s for each child, you've negated their opportunity for CR2 visas and AOS may be delayed if you file the children's AOS concurrently with your own. They'll need I-130's filed with their AOS.

These questions indicate to me the need to return to the guides and learn the process.

Thanks Pushbrk. I intend to file for them immediately they come over. I just could not do so earlier on.
