INTERVIEWS IN JAMAICA

[pushbrk 13,260]

Well I'm obviously a little confused. I filed the I-130 form. The petition was approved in about a month. The NVC sent me the package with the Affidavit of Support and part one of the Visa application within a month after that. I sent that back to them several months later. After I had to make some corrections on the Affidavit of Support they sent it to the embassy in Jamaica in January. I haven't looked at these forms in almost a year so I don't remember the numbers for them. And I;m not at home to clarify.

Can you please explain what a CR1 is?

and what is the difference between K3 and CR1?

You filed only an I-130. That will result in a CR1 visa. Check the Guides here for a comparison of visas but in general, the CR1 takes longer, costs less and your spouse arrives with permanent resident status and authorization to work. K3 costs more, takes less time and the spouse arrives without authorization to work and must later adjust status to permanent resident. K3 is irrelevant to you now.

You are on the CR1 path.

Thanks

I just found out that the IR1 is what he will get if everything works out fine. I am US citizen from birth. I believe the CR1 is if the petitioner got citizenship through naturalization.

Thanks again and I will update my timeline accordingly
