Interview Location for CR1

[celiothrkn 0]

My wife & I got married in Hong Kong. My wife is a citizen of the People's Republic of China. Neither of us have residency (or jobs) in Hong Kong. We were simply there "on vacation" and got married as tourists, since you do not need to be a citizen / resident of Hong Kong to get married there. We are now pursuing the K3/CR1 dual track - to see which one comes back first.

The embassy or consulate where you, the spouse of an American citizen, will apply for a K-3 visa must be in the country where your marriage took place.

Our K3 interview would most definitely be in Hong Kong, because that's a quote from the State Department website. But what about the CR1 interview? The NVC decides the consulate for that one, and there is a US Consulate General in Hong Kong as well as Guangzhou, China. Is there any regulation which states that my spouse would do her CR1 interview in the country where our marriage took place (Hong Kong)? Or would we be in her country of citizenship (Guangzhou, China)?

Thanks!

I found out the answer to this question, in case anyone's interested.

K-3 are done by the country you were married.

CR-1 are done by the country your spouse resides in.
