does anyone have experience of switching k3 to CR after the interview?

[ninjarocket 1]

I'm hoping that there might be someone out there who has experience this matter before. These are the facts.

I had requested NVC to expedite the CR paperwork at NVC so that it could catch up with the k3 interview date with the hope of my wife having a CR visa instead of a k3 visa.

The paperwork had not yet arrived on the morning of the k3 interview. However, the prescreener lady did say that it could still be changed if the CR paperwork arrived before the k3 visa had been processed. This actually happened because the CR paperwork arrived that same afternoon. However, at the time of the interview it had not yet arrived so my wife went ahead with the k3 interview. It was approved with pink slip only.

Then later that week the USEM tried to contact my wife (unsuccessfully) to return to the USEM to complete the CR process. They told me today that she only has to go back there at any day at 10am and go to window "X".

Does anyone out there know what is window X? We she be asked to take the interview again or will she just have to sign the DS-230 and have fingerprints taken? I'm only worried that something bad might happen which could cause the approved visa to be derailed so that she ends up with nothing. Any experience on this matter?

Nothing bad will happen -- they will simply issue the CR visa instead of the K-3. Right now, she only has the pink slip, no visa at all.

True, but if she opts not to return, then they will issue the k3 visa since that is already approved. However, she would have to file for AOS and not be able to work on entering the US. However, by returning to the embassy there is an element of risk. Maybe they will ask her to be interviewed again?

You mentioned Window X, so I am pretty sure there won't be an interview. They will probably just ask her if she wants CR or K3. And then from there, your wife can ask the exact process. Im sorry for confusing you. You mentioned a possibility of another interview and I was really (as in really) traumatized with my interview experience so... Anyway, just do that. Go to Window X. Its a Filipina in that window.

I really want to be sure there won't be another interview because I won't be with my wife this time. After we were already out of the woods with a pink slip ready to get a k3 visa any minute, I really don't want to go through the interview again (at least with the AOS we would be together in the US even if she can't work). I already lost enough sleep. I'm surprised that nobody else at VJ has been in the same situation.

A few people in the MENA forum have or are getting ready to experience this. Try searching for topics about it.

Good Luck in whatever happens with you guys
