WHY THEY DO THIS???

Important Notice: Effective February 1st, 2010, when both petitions have been approved by USCIS and sent to the NVC or when USCIS approves the I-130 before the I-129F, the availability of, as well as the need for, a nonimmigrant K-3 visa ends. If the NVC receives both an approved I-130 petition and an approved I-129F petition:

* The nonimmigrant K-3 visa case will be administratively closed.

* The application process explained below will not be available to the foreign-citizen spouse and cannot be used.

* The NVC will contact the U.S. citizen sponsor and foreign-citizen spouse, with instructions for processing the IR-1 (or CR-1) immigrant visa. For more information on the immigrant visa process, review the Immigrant Visa for a Spouse webpage.

If the NVC receives the approved I-129F petition before it receives the I-130 petition, the NVC will process the I-129F petition. NVC will then send the I-129F petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in the country where the marriage took place. If the marriage took place in the United States, the NVC will send the petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate that issues visas in the foreign-citizen spouse’s country of nationality. If the marriage took place in a country that does not have a U.S. Embassy, or the Embassy or Consulate does not issue visas, the NVC will send the petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate that normally processes visas for citizens of that country. For example, if the marriage took place in Iran where the U.S. does not have an Embassy or Consulate, the petition would be sent to Turkey.

Why do you want a K3?

The CR-1 is superior, and has taken (almost) the same amount of time for years.

Why do you want a K3?

The CR-1 is superior, and has taken (almost) the same amount of time for years.

The K3 had its advantages, but no more.

K3s are for people like me and my wife where we both, after our marriage, live in her country for a few years. With her k3 visa she was allowed to visit the U.S. a few times as we waited for our 2nd anniversary in her home country to proceed with the IR1 visa wherefore she was granted a 10 year greencard. In this process, we were able to shave off some expenses such as adjustment of status fees and removal of CR status to IR.

No way could a CR1 have afforded us these benefits.

For most people the k3 route may not be the best way.
