K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNVC shortcuts??
Hello everyone! In some of my previous posts, some of you mentioned a shortcut that cuts out about a month of wait time before the NVC receives the case. If anyone knows how this works, please share! I just need to know how or if there are any guides that have been posted before. Also, does it work for all the visas? I have a K3. Just received my NOA2 yesterday. thanks for all your help, all of you are so helpful and helping me maintain my sanity!! LOL.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresReceived NOA2s, what's next??
Hello everyone, I just received my paper NOA2s yesterday which stated that our case has been sent to the NVC, however, when I called the NVC and put in my receipt number, they claim they don't have a record of it. What does this mean? Do they have it? the petitions were approved on 7/1, and I called the NVC today 7/8. What does everyone think about where it could be right now? thanks everyone!!

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK3 Case sent to embassy!!!
Hey everyone, I think K3s seem to be moving a little bit, case was just received by the embassy yesterday! I put it in my timeline in case some of you are trying to figure out how long it takes to move around! It only took 8 days from approval! Does anyone have any ideas about how I might be able to expedite my husband receiving packet 3? Do you think emailing the embassy might help him get it faster, or should I just wait? thank you all for your support!!

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-134 Question
Hello everyone! We are in the process of preparing packet 3 now, and I would like to know some things about I-134. Now, I was already considering a cosponsor just in case, but I just started a new part time job at Bank of America for a salary just above the poverty line. Since I just started, I was thinking I would need a cosponsor to help, since I don't have work history. I also have some independent administrative work that I do on the side, and was considering writing a cover letter explaining that additional income as well. My first question is, do you think I even need a cosponsor? If so, how do I go about showing the cosponsor when I send the forms? Does the cosponsor fill out the forms in the same way I do? So then the embassy would receive two forms? Any advice would be more than helpful, thank you!!

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAOS Fee for K3???
Hey guys, I hope someone can help me clear this up. today in the mail I received an AOS Fee bill with all the I-130 immigrant visa stuff in it, like choice of agent and I-864 information! I don't think I have to do that if our case has already been sent to the embassy and I'm doing K3 right??? I thought the AOS stuff happens in the states with the K3!!! thank you for anyone that can help me clarify what this means!

Can you apply for both the k3 and CR-1 at the same time? Or do you have to choose one specific route? Both I-130 and I-129f are approved. Now I need to know if I can apply for both at the same time and see which one is faster...thank you guys for tolerating my hysteria!


Yes, you can do both. If your NVC process for I-130 completes before your K3 interview, it will be changed to interview for CR1/IR1 instead.

Have you already have an interview date for k3?
You may want to see whether it will be worthwhile to delay the interview to wait for the I-130 to catch up.

IMO, CR1/IR1 is much better visa, one of the biggest incentive is: no CIS nightmare for another 2 years for CR1, 10 years for IR1!!!

thanks so much everyone. No, we don't have our interview date yet, the embassy still hasn't sent the Packet 3 but they sent us an email with the documents they want so my husband is completing them now. I just want him to be here as soon as possible and don't mind the extra expense of the k3. thanks for all your help, I need all the feedback I can get!

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHow do you pursue both k3 and CR-1?

In some posts I have read, I have seen that some people are choosing to pursue both the k3 and CR-1. How is that possible? In my situation, my NOA2 for both the I-129f and the I-130 came in at the same time. I really want my husband to get here as quickly as possible, and I would consider the CR-1 if I knew it would bring him here as fast or a month more than the k3, but I've read that the CR-1 in Egypt from the timelines seems to take much longer...not sure what I should choose to do at this point...I have the AOS Fee bill here now, and I know the embassy should have my case by now because the NVC forwarded it there for I-129f. Any suggestions? thank you so much guys!


You've already stated you want the faster K3, so why would you pursue both? You can but it would be contrary to what you said you want.



Sorry, I forgot to clarify that I would consider the CR-1 because I like the idea of him getting his green card before he gets here.
