Hey everyone...just when I gave up hope with the K-3 and was moving along with the CR-1, it got approved... :dance:

FYI-- I only mailed in ONE IMBRA RFE and never got a response, touch, or e-mail confirmation about it. All of the sudden, I just received my NOA-2 in the mail, dated August 3rd! No e-mail updates or anything...as far as the CR-1 goes, I've already paid the affidavit fee bill and everything...hmmm...I have no idea what to pursue! help!

You still have choices. You could proceed with the K3 and keep the CR1 active. You'd need (I think both of you) to travel to in embassy in Belize for the CR1 interview. If you do it this way, you wouldn't need to adjust status from the K3 in the States. It might be a faster way to a green card.

At least, that's my understanding.

Hey I know the feeling, I have stopped stressing over the I-129f after receiving no touches since July 3rd. Perhaps Jersey is right, the key to it all is just giving up the struggle and just let it happen when it happens.

Anyway, Congratulations, :jest: and best wishes for both of you in the rest of the journey.

Hey Jerseygirl, my husband will be going to the embassy in Belize City....since Belize is a country with only 275,000 people, you can pretty much get a walk-in interview if you were ready for it as crazy as that is....so, on the K-3, my husband could probably be here within a month! The thing is, we are saving money right now on rent because my parents are letting me live at home until steven gets here; additionally, I want him to be able to work and go to school as soon as he gets here so there is no idle time to dwell on belize and missing family (i have no idea how these transitions go, but want it to be as good as possible).

Hey I know the feeling, I have stopped stressing over the I-129f after receiving no touches since July 3rd. Perhaps Jersey is right, the key to it all is just giving up the struggle and just let it happen when it happens.

belize, if it's important that he work right away, you may have answered your own question: go for CR-1. He'd enter with a greencard and be eligible to work. And if the wait time for interviews is short in Belize City, you may not be adding much time if you dropped the K3 and went straight for the main event. It would also give you more time to save money. Whichever visa you choose, we all hope the journey is joyful!
