What will most likely happen is the NVC will administratively close the K3 which means the CR-1 will be your only path.

No visa approval, sorry.

The two petitions got approved. Yay !

For now, see what's what at NVC, when the petitions make it over there.

Then report back, when able.

I'm leaning towards the I-129F being administratively closed at NVC, by NVC, within 2 months of the USCIS approval date.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

-=-=-=-=-=R E A D ! ! !=-=-=-=-=-

Whoa Nelly ! Want NVC Info? see http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

Congratulations on your approval ! We All Applaud your accomplishment with Most Wonderful Kissies !

As you move forward with the CR1 visa path, it will be critical you learn and use the correct terminology. Your I-130 and wasted I-129F "petitions" were approved. CR1 is a visa category and a resident status. K3 is an obsolete (for all intents and purposes) visa category. Lots more terms and details to learn about, that you should have already been studying. You still have time to visit the NVC Wiki and get up to speed, as it will take several weeks for NVC to receive your files and assign a case number. Time for some serious homework.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...
Understanding the big picture is priceless. Anonymous
