Whats better K1 or K3?

[DR ASI 0]

Hi guys,

Could you guide me as i know K1 is faster but we had applied for K3 and then found out our marriage wasnt by the law so thought and considered as traditional so we withdrew our k3 application which we had handed over in june and now waiting for them to cancel it and send us the confirmation and would like to apply for K1.Can anyone give me an idea how this all works and what is the best suggestion?

I had to withdraw a case that was abandoned over 2 years ago. I filed for a CR1 visa for my exwife back in March 2005. I assumed that the case would be dropped if left alone for over a year. Wrong. I had to send them letters and signatures and copies of my divorce decree. I didnt wait very long before beginning my K-1 visa petition for my fiancee. And that worried me. But everything seems to be ok. The only thing I can say is make sure the old case is terminated before proceeding with the K-1. Statistically it seems faster than the K-3 anyway and also less expensive initially. Initially being the magic word. New fees will make it expensive later. But at least your SO could be here with you wile you adjust status. That's really the biggest advantage of the K-1 I think. Since you recently submitted your K-3 application, you may want to wait until you know for sure that the case has been terminated. My old case was no longer at VSC, instead it was in a coma at NVC. So, it didnt affect my petition for the K-1. I was fortunate. Please be careful. You don't want those cases to knock heads with each other.
