The K3 is dead, the paperwork will be administratively closed at the NVC stage, you will end up with a CR-1 spousal visa. Process takes 6-12 months, unfortunately probably at the longer end for you as Montreal takes a long time to schedule interviews.

Yea thats good catch I did not realise K3 is closed, if you are already married now you have follow CR1 process, which as Penguin mentioned is 6-12 months.

It's not going to be done in 7 months, but if you move back to India, they can transfer your case there so you can interview at a US embassy in India.

K3 is a visa. You don't file it. What exactly did you file? Filing an I-130 petition for a spouse of a US Citizen will put you on a CR1 or IR1 visa path.

thks for replaying I filed I-130 so they will give me CR1 automaticly not K3,

I mean we filed I-130 petition for a spouse for a US citizen I understand that's when they approve it they will give me a CR1 Visa is that's true because I filed for K3. can you explain to me thks

From petition filing to visa interview, think in terms of 8 to 10 months. Then expect at least a few weeks of additional security checks after the interview.

My alert though is that this information may have become less important. It seems USCIS is avoiding sending both petitions together. ####### for tat between agencies with a long running feud. Things can change quickly, sometimes without notice and may have again recently on the USCIS end. I still don't recommend the K3 unless there's a special reason for it BECAUSE it really hasn't saved any appreciable time since 2007.
