HELP! CR1 or K3 Visa???

[Lizz&Mohamed 2]

Hello everyone,

I need everyone's help. I have hit a bump in my journey. My I-130 is at the NVC and just received my AOS bill and the DS-3230. However, my I-129F was also approved by the USCIS and its probably already at the NVC but I have not received any information from the NVC on that yet.

My dilema is, which route do I take? The K3 or the CR1? I have looked in EGYPT's processing times up to the last 6 months and can see the CR1 seems to be getting processed a bit faster now than the K3 (from how I read the chart). I am scared if I chose the CR1 that later it may get stuck at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo or if I go with the K3 that it too can get stuck somewhere...

Anyone out there who faced this problem??? Who also filed with EGYPT???

Everyone's insight/knowledge in this area will be truly appreciated. I just want to be reunited with my husband ASAP.

Thanking you in advance.

Liz

Thought I just posted this somewhere??? a little lost on the threads now... Anyway

I cannot comment on the rate of pass/fail on the CR1 vs the K3... If you have solid documentation then it should not matter as far as things YOU can control... As far as denial or AP because of name checks or other additional processing, that is something that would delay visas which ever one you choose....

With regards to which visa is better? Without a doubt, go for the CR1/IR... This give you the green card (551 stamp) upon entry and GC status... With the K3, you will have to file for Adjustment of status which is expensive and yet another process....

Just have all your information together (proof of relationship, financial documents etc...) and go for the CR1, it is the permanent resident visa and the best visa to get... The K3 visa was invented when wait times were much longer than today.... It is practically obsolete... Especially now that the CR/IR is taking the same amount of time!!!
