Case Processing
I-130 + K-3 Filing - Does it help?
Hello everyone, I’m a United States Citizen filing an I-130 for my spouse out of Portugal via Consular Processing. (CR-1)
Our case landed in the Texas Service Center (PD 02/22/2026) and we are wondering if filing a K3 right away is worth it. Did it work for you?
We thank you in advance for any help provided!
