Interview is the same regardless what visa she is interviewing for.

K3 is more expensive in the end to do the AOS, CR1 visa, she is issued a green card shortly after arrival, can work, drive and etc.

With the K3 as mentioned a lot more expensive in the end, and she cant drive, get a S.S. card, cant work, etc. etc. until her status is adjusted.

Time difference of the 2 is usually 3 to 4 weeks, most likely the K3 will be terminated , and its best if it is, cause its truly

a waste of time. Stick with the CR1 due yourself a favor, save some money, and a lot of headaches.

Yes you pay at embassy for K3, but No the expense is not over with there, its only the first of much more you pay, once you get here, you have to adjust your status to work, drive, etc. Pray your K3 is dropped, and stick with the CR1.

I suggest you and your wife read more on the K3 versus the CR1 visa.

There is no more K3, CR1 is the only way.

Incorrect, the K3 was created by an act of Congress and the provision in the LIFE act that created the K3 has not been repealed.

While most K3 petitions are administratively closed by the NVC, the K3 officially remains on the books.
