See my response to your other thread. Green card is received after a successful AOS, which can take months to get approved. CR1/IR1 petitioned for using an I130 only will get that green card right away. It is the better visa and worth considering instead of a K3.

I know that when someone comes here on a K-3 visa they have to file for adjustment of status. But how long does it take after you file for it?? Does the person get a green card when they enter into the U.S. on K-3 visa ?
