Linda,

That applies to CR1 not K1.. K1 those docs you mention go to the interview, not NVC..

Thanks for the replies. I keep hearing from lawyers that it'll take 1 - 1/2 years for the CR-1, and about 6-9 months for the K-3.

I'm 99% sure I'm going for the CR-1, unless the K-3 is guaranteed to be significantly quicker.

I guess I'll just have to make more trips over there instead of opting for the K-3.

K3 is not always faster. It may only be a month or two quicker, but if you use James' shortcut with a CR1 it will shave a few weeks off of your wait time. I used some of the shortcut suggestions.

Go for a CR-1. I am not going to use my K1 and I am going to start the process for a CR-1, I can't wait for adjustment of status for looking for a job.

It takes less time. All that a lawyer wants is to take your money. :thumbs:
