Then you can expect to processed as a CR1 visa applicant.

You may want to read the VisaJourney Guide on CR1/IR1 process: http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2

Basically once you receive the NOA2 for your I-130, the petition will be forwarded to the National Visa Center (NVC) and they will inform you what to do next.

Or, if you want to be more proactive and you want to speed things up a bit, you might also want to study the LingChe short cuts so you can learn how to save some waiting time during the process at NVC: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/LingChe_NVC_ShortCut

FYI

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.

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 and be able to work.

CR-1 can work as soon as they get the GC and SS card in the mail. Normally with 6 weeks.

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.

If the petitioner loses his/her job after the interview you don’t have to worry about getting a co sponsor to adjust status!

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.

Actually - you want 'Guide 1 ' as 'Guide 2' is for AOS in the USA, not any CR-1/IR-1 visa.
