Guest wei ting long Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 thank you!!! and by the way, our case is a CR-1 not a k-1 so maybe that's why the timeline is different. anyways, good news for the married guys Link to comment
Guest dan-ting Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 congrats, don't know what a cr1 but that makes 3 from here today. Hope it's the flood gates. Better book airline tickets fast before United hears and raises the price.Dan Link to comment
Guest David Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 I'm glad to hear some good news, WTL. My wife's visa is also a CR-1, and we got our 1st NOA in February 2001. The difference between the two cases is that my wife interviewd August 6th, and it appears that our case has not even been re-submitted. It seems like everything that could have possibly gone wrong HAS in fact gone wrong. Ooops, I better not say that.. -David Link to comment
PJ Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 Hi All, What is a CR-1 and how is that different from the K3? Just curious, this is the first time I heard the term "CR-1" used. Thanks, P.J. Link to comment

AngryTexan Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 Congratulations WTL, With a 2-2001 application, you DEFINITELY deserve this piece of good news. Almost makes me feel a little guilty for complaining as much as I have since I only applied in 11-01. Wonderful news, and I am very happy for you. Link to comment

Guest wei ting long Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 cr1 is immigration visa for married couples. k-3 is giving wife special privilege to come to u.s. to wait for immigration visa process to be completed, just like k-1 gives fiance's visas to come here to marry. but cr-1 is an immigration visa while k-1 and k-3 are non-immigrant visas. once my wife gets here, she automatically gets greencard because we are applying for immigration. k-1 fiances must get married and apply for adjustment of status. that's the short version i think......if anyone knows different, please correct me. i would much appreciate the input...

owenkrout Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 Your situation and time line are very similar to ours. We are an IR-1. You submitted the application a month before us. This is however not the first application that we have had in. GZ so throughly screwed up the first K visa application that I got moved to China and we got married. Our first application was in October 2000 and we are still waiting. Link to comment
