I130 after K3

[Rosemarie Morales 0]

Hello all out there. I am kinda new to this forum although I have read alot of the threads while waiting my husbands visa. Any hows....my husband, my children and I have planned to leave the Philippines in April. Our children and I, are USC, while my hubbie has his K3 visa. We have just received notice that his interview is March 1st for Immigrant Visa. Does anyone out there know how long it will take for them to issue the visa, because I know they will take my hubby's passport. Is it better to go thru with the interview here in the Philippines, or can we leave in April and file for AOS in the states?

It can take several months to years for AOS in the states. If they have an interview set for the CR-1/IR-1 visa for March 1 it would be best to go to the interview, your husband will enter the country and be issued a green card, and will be able to get a job ASAP, with K-3 he will have to wait up to 3 months to get Employment Authorization to work.

It takes at most 10 days after the interview to get the visa, plenty of time before your travel to the States in April.

Do the interview and get that immigrant visa, the advantages of it are much better than the K-3.

The interview is pretty much like the K-3 one, You will need to provide a copy of the I-864 form and evidence of a solid marriage, I would suspect is similar to an AOS interview in the states.

Example AOS questions to give you an idea:
