Unfortunately, all K-3 cases are now being processed as CR-1s if they were approved on the same day since 02/01/2010.

Means you have to do the NVC processing. It is an immigrant visa (actually better IMO).

As far as I know, if the two were approved on the same time, they will cancel the K3 and process the CR1 category. You should call NVC and find out if you have a case number assigned to your CR1 case.

I assume that it applies your case as well regardless of the date of approval.

They're trying to eliminate the K3 visa because it's obsolete.

It used to be faster than CR-1, but since they're about the same now, they want to get rid of K3.

It most likely will not take 6 months to finish this visa, from what I've seen alot of people get through NVC pretty fast. You better start reading the guides and wiki and such because they're having you go through the CR-1 route now.

It's better in the long run anyway.

Correct word would be "administratively closed". Read the following notice posted by DOS.

http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/ty...pes_2993.html#4

Since your I-130 is approved at this time you don't have to wait for 6 more months. you can proceed with your immigrant visa (CR1).

Anxiety can lead us to do anxious things. You've been waiting a long time, but calling three times a week with the same question is overdoing it. Get your U.S. Senator's office involved on your behalf, and they'll see what the story is.

When was your petition approved? If it was before Feb 1st, you should not be subject to the new rules.

they approved the I130 and the K3 in august 2009 and the new rules came in February 10-2010 !! I // she DID NOT receive any information about the new rules by mail or even email !!!!

the consualt in montreal sent her package 3 including the doctor visit in september 20-2009 , my wife sent the package 3 back in october 23 -2009 !! the change was February 10 -2010 , so how come they wana make this new rule for my case that was approved before the change !!! after i have been waiting almost 5 months and hoping for her interview date !! by the way i stopped processing the I130 since i went with the K3 . i have told that gona be quick than I130 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thx for the answer guys

if you want to get the ball rolling on the I-130 casefile -

have a read? http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...t&p=3560467

but ... you've had K-3 momement AT the Consulate in Montreal already.

IMO - something is messed up - the casefile already left NVC, way way way prior to the FEB 1st cutoff date.

IMO, the Consulate IV unit should be driving these steps of the process - so you might have some luck with the IV unit in Montreal , to keep the K-3 in play there. You won't know, though, until you contact them. I suggest fax. Good Luck !

Did you contact the IV Unit in Montreal, ask about the K-3 ?
