Traveling back to U.S. on K3 when in AP after CR1 Interview

[Enlighten one :) 5]

I have to say that I do not think she can. She has been stamped. She would need another visa to come into the country. Whether she was in AP or not. K3 is just until AOS. You can't come and go on a K3 as I see it. It is a one time entry visa.

As the topic title says, can this be done as she already has a valid K3 visa to the U.S.? At the CR1 interview they told her not to leave the country (Turkey) at the interview but they are fools, all our paperwork is flawless with endless proofs (I had a lot more at the interview but they did not even want to see it!). I don't trust them at all, they are the most insensitive, rude, and arrogant people. They should suffer for their treatment of people and hurting families.

My wife, who is 4 months pregnant, went to Turkey to get the CR1 visa after the AOS in the U.S. seemed impossible since they fumbled all of our paperwork at the POE and would not return her birth certificate. She was missing the Medical Exam (as we thought since she had her shot record this was good enough and they already accepted it at the K3 interview) and was put on AP (221g) because that was the one thing we lacked, that and a sensible competent interviewer but those are one in a million. They even made her wait 3.5 extra hours at the embassy after her interview time, never calling her number.

I plan on sending the US Embassy a letter written from my Doctor saying she must come back to the States to continue her OB treatment for the baby. Also, I have an uncle pretty high up in the Turkish government and I'd like to have him write a letter saying why do you treat our citizens like dirt. If things go bad, looks like my baby may be born in Turkey where I don't have medical insurance. These F' heads are hurting my babies future, what if he/she wants to be president. That is why I need to bring her back and maybe go back later once the AP is done. Can this be done? Thanks.

Sooner you submit the missing document ,quicker you will be getting the visa... I would try to obtain the document and sumbit it as soon as possible. Your wife will have another interview, and if everything looks good she will be issued visa. But remember that once they put 221 g in the file, you have to overcome that 221 within 1 year, if you don't react they will revoke your petiton and send it back. Hopefully this won't happen, but be very careful.

I have been there, done that.

Good Luck

They told us not to submit the missing medical exam until our case number shows up on the U.S. Embassy Ankara website. It will show up there after it is through Administrative Processing. The website and consular officer said that you send it through UPS to the embassy, you don't go there in person again... so no second interview. Everything already looked good as they told us "the paperwork looks good" and they did not even want to see the new evidence we brought to the interview. I don't think they can revoke our visa because of time since we are waiting for a CR-1 Visa which does not expire. I think you are confusing this process with something else...

Does anyone have concrete information on if my wife can come back on her K3 visa even though she is in Administrative Processing for a CR1 interview? Thanks.

Hi MrsJibowu,

A K3 is a multiple input and output visa and you don't even need AP (not our AP, advance parole) to come back in. She can come and go as many times as she wants within the 2 year period of validity of a K3 visa.

Well I did not know that. Have you tried calilng the DOS?

Yeah I called the DOS several times. Half say it is ok to travel and the others say don't travel as her pending Administrative Processing will be a red flag and they can send her back at the POE border patrol check.

Right now, if there is even that possibilty I will not risk bringing her back on the K3 unless it is really desperate or some new evidence saying that I can bring her on the k3 for sure. The immigration officers don't care if she has a valid visa and if she is pregnant, they think their job is to kick and keep people out of the U.S. Even U.S. citizen's spouses.

I'm confused. A K-3 is a multiple entry visa; therefore, AP is not required. Since she already has a K-3, the Embassy will not grant her a CR-1 simultaneously. A married person can get a K-3 or CR-1/IR-1- not both. Hopefully, I did not confuse you.

She returned to do her CR1 in her country.

There are two acronyms on this Site for AP:

Administrative Processing

Advanced Parole

We are currently in Administrative Processsing after her CR1 visa interview. I hope that clarifies.
