CR-1 after K3

[de&a 0]

Our K3 paperwork is at the embassy since last week, and our CR-1 paperwork is complete and at the NVC awaiting a decision since August 28.

We ultimately want the CR-1, but do not want to pass on the K3 since it is almost finished and who knows what could happen to delay or prevent the CR-1.

I have read in the past where people have gotten the CR-1 after the K-3. Does anyone have any experience with this? Do you have to get get duplicates for the police reports and do a second medical?

From the previous posts I gather that the embassy contacts the beneficiary and tells them they have a CR-1 there to pick up if they want it, after they have already been approved for the K3.

Thank you for any input.

madu,

The NVC does not make decisions. When the paperwork you have sent them is complete the NVC will forward the case to the consulate, where a decision will be made after the visa applicant has been interviewed.

OK, so once the NVC decides they have enough paperwork to forward to the embassy or consulate...

Does anyone have any info about the original questions?

Is a CR-1 an option if a k-1 visa is denied at the interview ? Just thinking of backup plans.

madu,

No, you are mis-understanding what you've read.

davidjack,

The only thing that's changed is that a marriage has taken place - if a person is inadmissable, they're inadmissable, whether engaged or married.

Not sure how long it takes to schedule interviews in Peru, but chances are very high that you wont be interviewing for the K-3 because once NVC forwards your CR-1 case to the consulate the K-3 option is gone as the CR-1 over-rides it., even if the interview is scheduled. I have read of some consulates who will allow you to just switch the K-3 interview for the CR-1, retaining same interview date...and others that have just cancelled the K-3 interview and resheduled one for CR-1. If by chance you interview for the K-3 prior to the CR-1 case being forwarded to the consulate, you can have the interview for the CR-1 visa if you so choose. You will then enter the US on the CR-1 immigrant visa but you DO have to interview for it. Its not a matter of them calling and saying come pick it up just because you have already been approved the K-3. They are two seperate visas for two seperate purposes.

We are doing the CR-1 also after receiving the K-3. I have the same question about needing another medical exam for the CR-1. The interview will probably be well over 3 months after my wife's K-3 medical exam.

about the medical, you can see if the doctor can give you two copies of it....

From my research, it looks like the vaccination records will be needed for the CR1, which will not be needed for the K3. You should not need a new medical done once the CR1 interview falls within a year of the first medical completed for the K3.

That is interesting, we just found out that out K3 interview is set for October 12. I was not expecting this so soon. I wonder if we could use her medical exam from last November that we had for the K1. She is going to call the doctor tomorrow and I will try the consulate Thursday.

Thanks
