Hy guys,

I do have a actually simple question. Our I130 got approved yesterday. Just in case our K3 also gets approved the next days.....Could we just go with the K3 and do the CR1 besides or should we decide to just take one path?

I mean what is the difference if I just take the K3 and enter the US on that visa and go ahead for Adjustment of status with the approved I130 over there? Is it just that i could work and get the GC earlier if I would take the CR1 path?

Thanks in advance

Isabel

You can pursue the both at the same time. While I-130 can be at the NVC for 2-3 months, the I-129F stays at the NVC only for a short time. You may get an interview with K-3 sooner than CR-1, if your I-129F is approved now. There are pros and cons of both routes.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview
