I think it depends on the country. For some countries, NVC can schedule schedule an appintment, but for others, u have to go through the emabassy.

You will find the list of consulates for which NVC schedules the CR1/IR1 interviews: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3734.html

When you go to the DOS link, if your embassy is only requesting you send the DS-230 and copy of passport bio data page, then the embassy makes the appointment. If it says you need to send extra documentation such as birth, marriage and police certificates as well as DS-230 and copy of passport bio page, then the NVC makes the appointment before the case is sent to the embassy.

The K3 is issued by the consulate in the country where you all were married. It doesn't matter where you each reside. Only where you married.

So if you marry in a country neither of you is from, prepare to return there for your interview, and (seemingly) your medical.

The 1 exception:

- you married in the U.S.

For Phils... K3 is scheduled by USEM, CR1/IR1 is scheduled by NVC.

Since K3 and CR1/IR1 are considered to be Immigrant Visa, check out this link:

The Importance of Becoming “Documentarily Qualifiedâ€

All case processing for Manila, including appointment scheduling, is generally done at the National Visa Center (NVC) in the U.S. An applicant’s case number does not determine his or her position in the scheduling queue. Once a case is current, the applicant’s place in the scheduling queue will be determined by the date all the necessary, completed documents are received at NVC and the case becomes “documentarily qualified.â€

We believe the waiting time for an appointment date is approximately three (3) to five (5) months from the date the case is “documentarily qualified.†As soon as an appointment date does become available, NVC will forward the case to Embassy Manila. NVC will also send the petitioner and/or the authorized agent/representative an appointment package.

If a case has been current for over five (5) months and there is still no appointment date in the above link, check with NVC to ascertain the status of the petition. NVC’s mailing address is 32 Rochester Avenue , Portsmouth, New Hampshire 03801-2909 , telephone number (603) 334-0700. Case inquiries can also be made by e-mail at NVCInquiry@state.gov.
