I 'm in a big pickle right now!! I have my K3 interview on the 13th Nov which is great BUT the NVC sent my complete CR1 case to the Embassy 6 days ago ( they dont have it yet)

I emailed the embassy to say that the NVC had completed my case and could i interview for the CR1 on he 13th instead of the K3. I sent the email over 12 days ago and have still not had a response. So I called the London embassy today and they couldnt tell me anything!! The girl was not very nice on the phone either!

To top things off I am sick from the MMR vaccination I had to get at the medical! ( which i already had)

I really dont know what to do!! I really want to interview for the CR1 and dont want to have to come back to the UK for it!! I booked my flight for the USA for the 11th Dec but i guess that can be changed if need be! Has anyone else had this problem or in the same boat??

Sorry for the moan!!

Happy halloween Everyone!

From case complete @NVC to interview in London is normaly 2 months..................I doubt you will beable to change your K3 interview to a CR1 interview...................I think the best option is either cancel the K3 interview & wait for your CR1 interview to be scheduled, keep emailing them & fingers crossed, you could end up lucky & if they have input your CR1 case into the computer you MIGHT if your lucky get the switch..........Good Luck

Keep contacting the Embassy and have your husband's local Congressman office contact the Embassy. Sometimes, Embassy replies to the Congressman much sooner than to petitioner.

Hi,

I’m afraid I don’t post on here very often, but I would like to advise you of something which I wish I had done at the time (or more to the point hadn’t done)

My wife is American and I am English, and at the beginning of June I was invited to make an appointment for a K3 visa, but at the same time we understood that our CR-1 was almost complete. So we decided to wait of the CR-1 and not continue to book the K-3 interview. Our immigrant visa did complete in mid July, and was sent to London (received on 9th Aug). But we are still waiting to be notified of an interview date (tomorrow is the 12 week point). One of our huge regrets is that we did not progress the K3, as we really didn’t expect the ‘final stages’ of the CR-1 to take this long.

If you can change your already booked interview then that would be great, but from my experience I would advise strongly not to cancel your K3 interview, as we are now nearly four months from the 'completed' date.

(My wife has had the benefit of spending a large amount of time in the UK during the last 14 months, for that we are extremely lucky, but she returned to the states at the beginning of October and each extra day we spend apart just waiting is heartbreaking.)

Regards,

Wil

Thanks for the advice.. I wasn't going to cancel the K3 interview but just hope the CR1 goes quicker! I'm really sorry its taken you so long to get an interview!! its bloody awful how long they make you wait!! Maybe a congressman in the USA could help speed things up as someone has already suggested!

I hope things speed up for you though! I know how you feel!

Good luck

Becca,

You can go to your K-3 interview and mention to the consul that you have a CR-1 case file here. I've heard from two other applicants with the same situation and got the CR instead of K-3.

thanks all for your advice! I got an email from the embassy today saying that if my case from NVC gets there before my interview on the 13th then I will interview for the CR1 and not the K3!!

SO i am very very pleased!

Good luck to everyone with your journeys!!
