HI FRIENDS

NVC MAKE 2 CASE IN SAME TIME K3 IN EMBASSY

AND ANOTHER CASE NUMBER FOR I130

I don't know if I understood everything correctly but I was wondering why you are filing for a K-3 if you are married and could apply for IR1 visa?

I asked about the K3 from the consulate in Helsinki and got the following reply:

"Although the K-3 visa still exist the USCIS has stopped to process

the I-129F petition but will process only the I-130 for an immigrant

visa"

Basically they told me that applying for an IR1 visa saves time and money and that there was no point in applying for a K-3.

As soon as the I-130 is approved the need for a K-3 ends and your spouse will be instructed on how to help you get an IR1 visa.

From travel.state.gov:

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.

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.

Well, good luck in any case!

If I-129F gets approved first and gets the NVS first, then what happens? is it still K3? or it becomes IR1/CR1?

As far as I understand it the I-129F will be processed if it gets approved before the I-130. In our case, both my husband and I are outside the US and can therefore file everything, apart from the I-130, at the consulate in Helsinki. Filing at a consulate should be faster than doing it in the US and I suppose that might have been a reason that the consulate told me not to file for a K-3.

So if i-129F gets processed first then what Visa is it called? K3 or IR1/CR1?

Rather K3 or CR1 when they ask for a document, rather in original form or copy form, you provide it.

Only difference is when its a K3 , you take ALL docs with you to interview, so that means if they want a original, you will have to supply it regardless. Stick with the CR1, yes your in a hurry, well so is everyone else, but make it easier and cheaper later on you and your wife, stick with the CR1

@ Visajourney2011: A I-129F filed after a I-130 petition is called a K3 visa, = a big waste of time, due to the fact a K3 usually dies at the NVC.

K3 as said numerous times is a BIG fat waste, unless you have alot of money to pay after he or she gets here to adjust their status so they can drive, work, etc. To answer you question in short, if I-129F is processed first, then your interviewing for a K3 visa.
