Hello Friends,

We are applying for a K-3 visa. However, if the time difference of the interview schedule for K-3 & CR-1 at the US Embassy in Manila IS NOT THAT BIG, we will surely proceed with CR-1 visa. If we indeed proceed with the CR-1, what are the things or adjustment that we should do? Will this affect our timeline? If yes, for how many days/months?Does it happen wherein an interview is intended for K-3, but the consul gives a CR-1 visa just because they already got your CR-1 approval documents?

Thanks,

Princess

Thanks. But our problem is it is my fiance who had an error in the application form. How long did it take for them to respond in your letter? Did they send you another appointment letter?

By the way, the error is not really big i think...he overlooked that my middle name lacks one letter between the first and third letter and my address was 202, instead 203.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but DS-230 is for IR1/CR1. Other K1 needed DS-230 since it's required by their country's consulate but Manila consulate is not requiring it, am I correct?

i have question on DS 156 number 36. Has Anyone Ever Filed an Immigrant Visa Petition on Your Behalf?

I am the beneficiary ...should i say Yes to that question?

thank you very much.

Again, please correct me if I'm wrong because I don't want to give out wrong advice.

I think you should check "no" if it's your first time to apply for K1 visa or the first time that a petitioner filed a K1 for you...

That's correct. For K Visa applicants:

- Appointment letter for medical exam and interview

- DS-156 form

- DS-156K form

- DS-157 form

- Instructions for payment of fee, medical exam, location of embassy

By the way, Lira just got packet 4 too, :dance:
