LingChe ShortCut Question

[Nlove 0]

Below is from LingChe Shortcuts if you are changing from K-3 to Cr-1. I have a question in regards to this if anyone have experienced or have knowledge of it. When the Embassey contacts my husband regarding I-129f next steps they will also schedule him for an interview. Then comes the I-130 that is still being processed at NVC and NVC will then issue an interview date. I guess my question is...If my husband and I are not going the K-3 route and he recieves an interview for K-3....how far out should he change the K-3 interview date to give time for Cr-1 interview. I don't want to risk the step:

Once NVC completes the case, the beneficiary should NOT contact the embassy/consulate to request that they change the already scheduled K-3 interview for a CR-1/IR-1.

I'm uneasy because what if NVC cannot expedite CR-1 package to embassey. How did it go for you guys who changed to CR-1 and the interview switchover? Thanks, your help will be greatly appreciated.

USCIS will send your approved I-129f to NVC.

NVC will "touch" the I-129f long enough to give it a case number and pass it on to the embassy.

The embassy will notify the beneficiary of the next steps, and give them the case number assigned by NVC.

The embassy will tell the beneficiary how and where to setup the medical exam.

The beneficiary can then send in another copy of the DS-230 (just the signed pt.1, no other documents).

The beneficiary can schedule a medical exam.

The beneficiary can request an interview date, far enough in advance that their CR-1/IR-1 Visa case will be completed at NVC.

Once NVC completes the case, the beneficiary should NOT contact the embassy/consulate to request that they change the already scheduled K-3 interview for a CR-1/IR-1.

Instead, contact a supervisor at NVC, and request that your completed package be expeditiously sent to the embassy/consulate. This strategy is not guaranteed, It will vary by embassy.

Technically, if you have a CR-1/IR-1 that's ready, the embassy/consulate can not issue or schedule you for a K-3. They also can not schedule a CR-1/IR-1 interview...only NVC can.

b. CR-1/IR-1 case completes.

NVC will contact you (or you'll know because you've called once or twice a day).

Setup a medical exam with approved medical facility.

NVC will advise of interview date at embassy.

You should schedule or re-schedule the K-3 interview in as close an approximation as you can so that the Embassy or Consulate will have received the completed CR-1 package. Let's say you pay your fees and send in your documents on Jan. 1st. Allow at least 2 weeks for document review, and another 2 weeks for the package to be shipped to and received by the Embassy or Consulate. During that time, the beneficiary should have their medical. In this scenario you could schedule the K-3 interview for the 2nd week of February. Check the guide for information on tracking the diplomatic package to your Embassy or Consulate.

Hope this helps.
