Our K3 packet has been mailed by Casa consulate on May 29th and CR1 is about 2-3 weeks behind for NVC processing to complete. After reading posts of denials for K3 & K1, we are very nervous to pursue K3. We get the impression that K3 has more chances of denial or 221G than CR1 based on what we have from visajourney. Would senior members who been there and have seen many jouneyb members comment on following questions:

1. Does K3 stand more chances of denial than CR1?
2. If one gets 221G (or whatever for more docs), which is easier to follow up K3 or CR1?
3. If we get Interview date for K3, and before that date CR1 case is completd by NVC and/or get interview date from NVC, what options we have?
3(a). Can we keep K3 interview date and ask them to entertain us for CR1 case?
3(. Will consulate automatically cancel our K3 interview date and make us wait for CR1 interview date?
4. If only NVC completes processing of CR1 case and not schedule interview date, is there anything we can do to have CASA keep our K3 interview date but process CR1 case instead of K3?

Thanks.

Hi,
we are also weighing our options between K3 & CR1. Wish you best of luck.

I don't think the K3 stands more chance of denial than the CR1. You can get a 221g just as easily for the CR1. The 221g doesn't automatically mean you are denied. It could be just for security checks or missing documents. The consulate will not cancel your K3, you would need to ask them to do so if you choose to go with the CR1. The good thing about CR1 is that your AOS is already completed. In my opinion it's the way to go but it might take a little longer. Yes, you can keep the K3 appt and come back for another interview for the CR1 but that's a waste of money. Good luck!
