I'm not the OP, I was just curious why people keep applying for the K3 if it only has downsides compared to the CR1/IR1. Apparently it's just lack of information.

I've never applied for either.

I initially had the worst kind of attention in that embasy.

Even going with my husband, and him being a US citizen he wasn't allowed in. I'm not surprised they gave us the wrong information.

Well good luck with that. Kinda shooting yourself in the foot by demanding only users with a rare and obsolete visa comment to help you when there are plenty of knowledgeable individuals on this foru

Sorry, but that's not the way things work around here. In fact it hinders the enjoyment of others which is against tos. Anyways as already said, k3 is virtually obsolete

Starting on the K3 process is not applying for the visa. Just fyi. You can attempt the K3 visa path but achieving the visa is rare.

It is mostly attorneys advising to apply for the K-3 or people who have not researched the visa process. Attorneys recommend it because it is more money for them (add in the fees to file for AOS) and others because they don't know better. It takes the same amount of time to receive a K-3 as a CR-1 (roughly) so there is no benefit to the K-3.

By way of example, and not as a limitation, you agree that when using the Service, you will not:

  • Restrict or inhibit any other user from using and enjoying the Forums.

~~~The OP of this thread has received enough answers regarding the viability of a K3 visa; because of that and that some posters seem willing to engage in arguments that violate the TOS, this thread is now closed to additional discussion. Do not restart this thread.~~~
