Why would you wish negativity on anyone. My anger is placed on USCIS. Everyone who gets Potomac is ahead of us..so that is where my frustration is directed. Not to those who may be desperate. 🙏🏻

I’m not wishing negativity. I’m wishing fairness. That’s all.

The truth is that an approved K-3 requires adjustment of status...in that respect, a CR-1 is vastly superior, imo.

Congrats on the approval. My priority date is 24 /8/ 18. Shall I file a K 3 or no. As I have already waited all this long is worth to file a K 3 now? TIA

If I were you, I’d file K3 now. It’s never too late, it is free, you have nothing to lose. Many people did it, and it works. Nebraska sucks, you should not suffer because of their outrageously poor service, it’s not your fault your case ended up with Nebraska. If there is a trick to play to reduce the wait, go for it!

Moreover, I think all unlucky couples assigned to Nebraska, should file K3 immediately after receiving NOA1 with the dreadful LIN abbreviation! In solidarity. This way you gonna show to those motherf..s that they need to CHANGE , and NOW!🚩😡✊

The chances of K3 approved are 0%, the chances of K3 denied (and CR1/IR1 approved right away) are 100%. It is based on the recent statistics of those few here who were smart enough to do it.

Makes absolutely no sense at all.........none....

I do think this might backfire once the volume of K3 petitions increase significantly. Until then, however...

I hope they start giving out the K3 visas and surprise those that are trying to push a fake work around. I don’t want this wait on anyone, it’s a hell of a wait, but it’s making everyone’s wait even longer by pushing these requests just because they want to move to the front of the line. 

I respectfully disagree. Those who file K3 are smart, they do not push anyone, they teach the dumb Nebraska. The NSC cannot approve K3 because they have to follow the policy , and the policy states that K3 visa is obsolete and is NOT used nowadays.

Oh yes, it does. Unless you live in a different reality.

I have yet to see any real evidence that the strategy works........it is completely illogical.....

Did you submit an I-129F?

What’s most likely gonna happen as soon as volume K3 petitions increases is USCIS will abolish K3, and this window will shut off.

Well, it’s certainly anecdotal, but people’s reports on this forum do seem to indicate I-130s get adjudicated earlier when a K3 petition is also filed. 

 

Edit: In Nebraska, that is.

I did not, but I was very close to do it. In fact, started to fill in the forms. But I got an approval yesterday. I am with Texas though.

Right.  We’re totally willing to go the K3 route.  Sure, I’d prefer to not have to go through the process of AOS and just get the IR-1, but if a family’s situation meets all of the criteria for K3, and it seems to speed things along, there is no reason not to file it.  Frankly, I think anybody who is angry about it is kidding themselves if they say they wouldn’t file for one, too.  They just feel too close to their approval dates.  

 

It’s a shame that this backdoor process seems to circumvent the more straightforward IR/CR-1 queue, but it is what it is.  I refuse to be angry at anybody else...Potomac filers, asylum seekers, etc. My frustration is solely directed toward USCIS and this administration.  My refrain is that scarcity mentality that they’ve created shouldn’t turn us against each other!
