I 130 approved from VSC

[pan 0]

Hello All,

Today our I130 also got approved and its nearly 17 days after I 129F approval. But now our interview date for K3 is already coming on Aug 13. My question is if before coming to US our NVC stage also cleared up then can I give CR1 interview also and take CR1 visa instead. As you now CR1 visa is superior visa and there is no need to do adjustment of status also. Therefore please let me know if there is such possibility. And if there is such possibility then should I have do all the things again like packet 3, 4, medical, courier fees etc for CR1? Please help me in clearing my doubt.

Best wishes

Pan

It is awful quick for NVC to be able to do what they need to do before your Aug 13 interview.

way to close... seems unlikely... you have the choice to wait/skip the K3 interview... or notify the consulate through their call center that you will be waiting for your I130... thats what you should do if you want the CR1

Can't I take CR1 visa after getting K3 visa. I mean I just want to go to K3 interview on Aug 13 and take K3 visa. Then untill I come there in US , if my CR1 interview date also gets schduled then can I give that and take CR1. Actually I just wanted to avoid this AOS as this is so frustrating and irritating to again go through that process again after coming there in US i.e., AOS.

Can't you notify the consulate you are waiting for the I-130, and ask whether yr interview on 13 Aug can be postponed?

Is it necessary to postpond the K3 interview for having CR1 interview? Can't I give CR1 interview after taking K3 on Aug 13?

Does anybody knows that for how many years we receive green card for CR1 and after AOS.

For CR1 filers do you know you need to apply for permanent resident after two years in order to obtain 10 years green card and after you do AOS you straight away get 10 years card. In this was K3 is also better. Don't you think so. This is my anaylysis. Please share your thoughts too.

Yes, you can.

How?

I heard that after we get the K3 visa interview, if we decide to get the CR1, we have to send another form (form I-824) and pay another fee to the consulate. Is that true?

That would be one way how, so you already know AN answer to your question. Lately, both petitions have been being forwarded to NVC, making the I-824 no longer an issue. Things do change. This one seems to have come full circle.
