frank1538 Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 (edited) You might check out some of adamchildress' posts. He was married in Hong Kong as well. Just curious, though. When you say the NVC completed the file, are you referring to a K-3 or a CR-1? Oh, congratulations on completing this phase of the process.

If you are Cr-1...your petition is sent to GUZ. If K-3....it is sent to H.K. Rich Link to comment
david_dawei Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 As far as times go.. once sent to a post... GUZ is probably 5+ months for interview; HK is probably 2.5 - 3 months, based on below example HK timeline in the FAQ. Q.1.11 How about posts other than mainland China? A.1.11.1If you are married in HK, you will file your I-130 petition in the US to the appropriate Visa Center. Once your NOA1 is received, you may file the I-129F petition. If you pursue the CR1 visa, then your application will be forwarded to Guangzhou. If you pursue the K3 visa, then your application will be forwarded to Hong Kong… saving about three months. A.1.11.2If the K-3 interview is scheduled before the CR-1, it will be in HK. If the I-130 is first, it will be in GZ. Since they are different issuing posts, the I-130 will not automatically cancel out the K-3. A.1.11.3Anyone can get married in HK...just need a passport. HK doesn't care where you are from. HK is very efficient. 3 months P3 to Visa in hand. Makes 9 months overall for the K-3. A.1.11.4Sample filing for K3 for HK, time will vary in US based on Visa Center: ** I-129F **submitted-----------------9/28/04NOA1-----------------------10/12/04NOA2-----------------------4/29/05Sent to consulate (HK)--------5/8/2005 (HK not GZ)P-3 from Consulate------5/20/2005Returned P-3--------------5/31/2005Called DOS-----------------6/8/2005P-4 received---------------6/18/2005Interview-------------------7/20/2005 (In HK)Passed!---------------------7/20/2005Visa in Hand-----------------7/21/2005 More info: Hong Kong Marriageshttp://www.immd.gov.hk/ehtml/bdmreg_4.htm Link to comment
