If you file for both K3 and IR1/CR1, the moment USCIS realizes you have both K3 gets terminated. Your spouse will get IR1/CR1 visa. I don't know why people file both. It's pointless. File either for K3 or file for IR1/CR1. K3 takes 3 months. IR1/CR1 takes 6 months. But in recent months IR1/CR1 was also taking only 3 months. So there was no point to file for K3. But now that IR1/CR1 takes 6 months again, people may consider filing for K3.

If you've already filed for IR1/CR1, there's no point in filing for K3. But it's your money. Waste it however you like.

Plz let me point you to few facts:

"the moment USCIS realizes you have both K3 gets terminated." Its NVC and not USCIS who will administratively close K-3.

"File either for K3 or file for IR1/CR1." One cannot file K-3 unless I-130 for IR1/CR1 has already been filed.

"I don't know why people file both. It's pointless." Answer will depend whom one asks to.

"But it's your money. Waste it however you like." There is no filing fee for K-3 when same USC who has already filed I-130 petition files K-3 so...

Does sucking up to the government help speed up your case?

If it doesn't, why do some people like to suck up. Especially here on VJ given that the government doesn't even get to see these sucking ups.

Wow words of wisdom. Maybe the same reason some people like to show there ####. Don't confuse sucking up as you put it to rational thinking.

I hope we are all done with assumptions and mockery on here. this started out as a nice thread. No need to throw in comments that belittle others for their ideas of how to reunite with their spouses as soon as possible. This is a very trying process for everyone. At least it is almost the weekend. Hopefully everyone has some plans to be able to take their minds off of the stress for a few days.

Thanks March2010 :). I'm glad that you will be able to go to the interview with your wife (even if they won't let you in). That way you can celebrate in person :). I know that my husband would love to have some company but I won't be able to swing it :(. He will be ok though, I hope. He forgets date all the time, so we will have to practice extra on the dates of things.

Iam with u Teya n March2010 I will back u guys. Their is no need for anyone to put anyone down bcause of they think.

Once again I decide to chime in with my two cents. LOL!!!!!

I agree with everyone about not trying to belittle anyone here on our thread. As for what is taking USCIS so long to process our paperwork, just two simple words. "Government Employees" LOL!!!!!!

I can say this because I was a government employee for over 10 years and I know how they can get overwhelemed or just plain lazy. But have faith everyone, we will all get our approvals soon. I have been looking at the trend of people that have been getting their approval both here and on another site. So far it is still averaging about 3 months given another week or two.

As far as Igor's List, I have some doubt also the validity. I was looking up the K1 visa approvals and one couple has their NOA2 dated as 8-16-10. Anyone see what is wrong with this picture :bonk: since we are still in June, how could they possibly have an august approval. I also think that people are just now updating their info but not putting accurate dates. And of course that is just going to throw off the whole estimates and trend data for this site.

Now for my chime in on going to the interview, I am hoping God willing, to be with my wife in Hong Kong for her interview. Most of the embassies or consulates will not allow you in the interview room. But if you get lucky and can go in, you will be there just for support but will not be able to answer any questions unless directly asked by the interview officer.

Well everyone that is my view on everything.

:ot: So just for giggles Southern Californina has been rockin and rollin the last week with earthquakes. We had one a couple of days ago the registered about 5.7 magnitude near the mexico border. Gotta love California :lol:

So again good luck to all of you here on your visa journey
