Do any of you guys know if Bogota Embassy will allow to use a K-3 interview for a CR-1 since I have both ready and with interview date! do you guys know anything about it?

Thank you!

Orlando....

Orlando,

Since your case was completed right in the middle of June, start calling the NVC now to see if they were able to schedule your interview for July with the embassy. If not, you can use your K3 interview for the CR1 visa as long you're 100% sure that the embassy has received the CR1 case from the NVC.

Diana

THANK YOU DIANA! I ALREADY CALLED THE EMBASSY AND THEY SAID IT WAS OK TO USE THE K-3 INTERVIEW DATE FOR THE CR-1 CASE :dance:

THANK YOU,

ORLANDO....
