K3 Vs CR-1

[Mrs. Mason :-) 0]

We are on the process of waiting in line for the petition approval. We filed for a k3 but now I am confused if there's a way to shift to I-130 path? I've heard the 129f petition gets an approval first compare to I-130 petition . So what steps to do if it'a allowed to shift to CR-1? Help pls. I am really confused now

Thanks

Please, go to the Wiki are of this forum http://www.visajourn...x.php/Main_Page and get acquainted with the different types of visas.

For starters though, the K1 VISA (I-129f form) only applies to UNMARRIED people (one of them being a USC) seeking to marry in US soil and remain there; therefore, it would not apply to you, because if you have applied for a K3 visa (spousal visa), it means you have already married.

The I-129F form is also used on the K-3 process...

This part of the forum is for K1 visas. You can always report your own post and ask a moderator to route it to the appropriate forum.

Once again, I suggest that you become acquainted with the different types of visas. There seems to be a confusion between the VISA names and purposes, and with the name of the forms that need to be filed for each VISA type.

i am not confused about the types of visa....Me and my husband knows k1 is for fiance, k3 is for spouse but non imigrant visa, CR-1 is for spouse visa also but it's imigrant entry..I am not confused of the k3 processing also, I knew it how coz we filed already. My question was if it's ok to transfer to CR-1 instead of k3....as simple as that.

I am not sure why nobody is answering your question..... Your 1-129F petition will be closed automatically. You are now applying for the CR-1 visa.
