Close K3 forum?

[Penguin_ie 5,994]

I would like to suggest that the K3 forum is either locked to future threads/ replies, or that a note is put up on the top/ when one tries to post in it explaining that this visa is no longer issued and that members should read up on the CR-1/ IR-1. I don't think the K3 forum should be deleted, because there is a lot of good general info in there that can be searched for, and people will still come to this site thinking this is the visa they want.

Do you have a link to validate this information?

USCIS still offers K-3 information, suggesting that K-3 is still an option:

There are still people going through the K-3 process who have not yet been informed that their K-3 has been administratively closed and the CR-1 process will take place instead. The ending of the K-3 process is currently in transition so it is premature to close and lock the K-3 forum until the process is actually over and done with and there is no one left in the process anywhere. It might be appropriate to post the information in the top of the forum, though, that the K-3 is being phased out and that the forum will close when there are no K-3s left in the system.

Plus we have a report in that very forum of an I129 being sent on to the consulate because there are K2 children named on the petition.

OK - tis July - how about 'now-ish' to make it 'read only' - but leave the 'status' sub forum open for a few more months ?

As of January the processing was a solid three months faster for a K3. Right now it is 10 days slower on average. Things change so I would probably keep it open however it could be prudent to emphasize this page:

Also to note, I-129F's are still in many cases being approved for people prior to the I-130 (although I am not arguing that an IR-1/CR-1 seems like the better choice).
