We decided to send k3 and see what happens. on residence for 5 years i had been moving a little between my present residence. I was only gone for 2-4 mos , but how do i put this in order it was from 4/005-8/05 I am living home now but i been lliving and using this addy @ home since my mom moved here in 1997 so how would i place this in order without leaving gaps. Also on my I 13o i was rushing to get it in and i screwed up an employment addy and the dates are a little off will they rfe me? or deny , are they this precise as long as i listed them will it b a problem 4 me?. I just dont want any delays, maybe i should have been more careful but i am now.

From an early post you may want to read.

Keep in mind K-3 "May" be a bit quicker, but from a lot of comparing of timelines for CR-1 and K-3, in many cases K-3 is only slightly faster.

K-3 is a pain for the fact that AOS costs over 1000 to do, EAD can take 90 days to get so the prospective immigrant cannot work all that time.

Consider CAREFULLY the added hassles the K-3 can cause you.

There is no abandoning just the I-129F, choose one or the other K-3 or CR-1 visa. USCIS upon seeing the I-129F will hold the I-130 assuming you plan on the K-3 and plan on paying the $1010 to adjust status from the K-3.

CR-1 IS BETTER, it costs less, is an IMMIGRANT visa which the immigrant gets green-card upon entry to the USA.

K-3 has the added cost of adjusting status ($1010), has to wait up to 90 days after entry to get EAD allowing work.

Sometimes what is faster is not better.

Use the VJ timelines to compare (CR-1 (DCF) to CR-1 (States) and K-3)

Yeah, let's make sure we have our facts straight. If you're filing directly with a US Consulate abroad (DCF) then the K3 is not really a viable option for you.

Setting the DCF aside for a moment (since this is the K3 forum and has many K3 readers)...

You say, you just want to be with your husband as soon as possible. Is that really true? Are you not concerned about the extra expense? Are no not concerned about him needing to wait at least three months for authorization to work? Are you not concerned about dealing with another USCIS process soon after his arrival?

If none of these things are of concern and getting him here as fast as possible is your only consideration, then by all means, file the I-129F and I-130 together with the appropriate service center and get on with it.
