k-3 visa or Cr1 Visa to be applied

[Gorkhali 214]

Dear Members

I am new to the forum and i have never browsed this forum till date. We got married on 16th July 2014 in Nepal. I am Nepali citizen and my wife is American National. We are processing the documents for K-3 Visa and also have had consulted the lawyer in United States. We earlier thought, the entire process will be of 3 - 4 months but after my wife visited lawyer, we got to know the entire process could take 1 - 2 years. Is that correct?

Which visa to be applied for K-3 /CR /IR for quick visa formalities? (we are so confused about this visa type and have no clear information)

I am nepali national by birth and i hold nepali citizenship card. But i reside in India (delhi) since long time and i work in Delhi itself. Will it be easy for us to obtain visa from consulate in India or consulate in Nepal? (i think india coz they might want me to be available frequently for formalities and if its from delhi, i am easily available) Any advise.

We both know that this visa can go wrong and we wont be granted visa. Although we have all the documents / tax copy / photos and other documents proving our relationship and a marriage certificate. But we are trying our best so that the Visa is granted. Can anyone help me with information of what all documents do embassy look for while granting visa?

I look forward for some information. Thanks in advance.

1-2 years is correct for the entire processing time. The I-130 normally takes about 6 months however, but then you have processing at the National Visa Center where your wife will apply for her visa. Then you have the medical and visa interview after the NVC has all the documentation needed for the CO (consular officer) to make a decision at the interview.

She will interview in the country she is legally living in during processing at the NVC. Changing consulates and embassies is time consuming.
