Hi VJ Members,

I have some questions..........We got approval of four I-130 in 33 days now it has been sent to NVC and its almost two weeks now we have not receive our case number as yet. It said it may take weeks to get the case number which is okay for us.

Now my question is.........if the 129F (K3) will be approve while waiting for our NVC case number for I-130 can we still go for K3? what will we do with the I-130 pending at NVC? Your input on this is highly appreciated.

thank in advance. GOD Bless.

If time and money is not an issues, I will go with the CR1/IR1 but if you want to go ahead and meet your spouse go with K3. OR go proceed with your K3, call the embassy for your interview. Still try work with your CR1, let the case get completed with the NVC, NVC will issue your an interview unlike K3 you have to call the embassy. Its only abpout 2-3 weeks different between K3 and CR1 anyway. It is your choice. Either way with the K3 still will cost you more than Cr1 and you cant get a job right away as you have to apply for workers permit. That will take time! Its actually your choice...

Agreed with Carlos and Jocel, it is just 2-3 weeks difference between K-3 and CR1/IR1 visa interview date. CR1/IR1 visa saves money and later headache to deal with USCIS again but all depends on your personal choice.
