Question reagrding CR1 and K3

[us_know 0]

I have another question. I received my I-130 receipt. This form is for CR1 and now if I intend to apply for 129F - K3 visa. Will they disregard the CR-1 visa and consider I have applied for K-3. I hope I am making sense. Please advise

DON'T go with the K3 at all. K3s aren't happening at this time.

Go for the CR1 instead of the K3 - fewer steps (no adjustment of status), green card after entry into the US, less fees ($1010)

No but take the smart route and just stick with the CR1 by not filing the I-129F at all.

Just a few reasons why to go with the CR-1. If you are eligible for a IR-1 then you would be nuts going with a K3!

The K3 has to adjust status which cost $1010 + $131 visas application fee.

Have to go thru the cost and hassles of getting a I-693 also.

K3 normally has to do biometrics and have a AOS interview. Time off from work cost the petitioner. PLUS the hassles of submitting the paperwork and going for the interview. Tain’t fun.. Especially if denied or questioned. Ever done a Stokes interview?

That’s the second interview if they are in doubt of your relationship. They put you in separate rooms and grill you.

Also a possibility of being deported. Yeah doesn’t happen much but it happens.

K3 has to wait about 90 days after they file to get EAD or GC so they can get SSN.

Can’t do a LOT of things without SSN. Like work or get a drivers license in some states.

Some K visas don’t get GC for a LONG time.

If petitioner goes belly up before you get GC you stand a chance of being deported.

CR-1 cost about $470

Get their GC and SS card in the mail within 6 weeks of arrival.

No biometrics , dealing with civil surgeons, AOS interviews, going to SSA for SS card.

I’m sure I’ve missed a few things.

Bottomline is anyone that goes with the K3 the way things are now are masochist!

Yeah I did but at that time K3s were a LOT faster. That’s not the case anymore.
