Hello Ose n me,

I just wrote this letter to my brother in law. I thought some of the time lines I cut and paste into the note might be helpfull. Actually most of the information I obtained from the K3 forums. My lawyer messed up our K3 by filing it 2 months after our I130 noa1. It got there the day after my I130 was approved.

Here is the information I was telling you about. The USCIS is trying to approve the I129 Petition with the I130. This prevents them from having to process to separate petitions (I129F & I130) with the same information. Thus eliminating twice the work they were doing in the past. So if you get your K3 in before the I130 is processed, the USCIS will put them together and slap them both with an approval.

If both get approved together, the I129F will be forwarded to NVC and the I130 will be sent to the Nation Records Center for storage until you file for Adjustment of Status. This is the policy they announce more than a year ago in this press release: http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/PN_i-129f.pdf

They had some initial problems implementing this but are now pretty good at it. If both of your petitions were going the NVC, the easiest way to tell would be to look at the NOA2 for the I130, if it says it is being forwarded to NVC, it will be forwarded. If it says you are already in the US, then it will go to storage at NRC, and it will tell you to file the I824 to get consular processing started on the I130.

The I129F will be sent to NVC. This NVC process for the I129F takes about 2 days (but could take up to 5). It only take 1 month to get an interview at the Nigerian embassy.

The NVC processing time for the I130 is 2 months. It take 2 months to get an interview with the I130. So we are looking at Micheal being here around April I the NVC gets our check or the processing. NVC will not touch our case till they get the check.

The average processing time from sent date to receipt of check notice from the NVC is an average of 8-10 days. Today makes the tenth day and the NVC still has not received payment.

Because Michael’s I 129f was not sent till 2 months late the I130 was automatically forward to the NVC with the assumption that we were not filing the I129f. They came to this assumption because no one in their right mind, who is going to go the I129f process , would wait two months to send their petition in. Especially if they are getting profession council from a lawyer. Once the NVC and embassy has the I130 they will not revisit the K3, because they do not want to do twice the work.

If Michael’s I129F petition was at the USCIS at the time they were processing the I130, He would be home with us right now.

Please review the following cases for examples of my information. NOA1 means received NOA2 means approved.

I think that is enough to prove my case. Most of the money for the K3 goes towards the processing of the AOS and the work visa. The actual petition is just a form created out of the information we gave for the I130.

We have lots of snow coming down, so I need to get my rest for the morning shovel.

Yes, I spent lots of time figuring this all out. My lawyer had an assistant that was not doing her job and obviously he was not if he did not know. Now I know more then him thanks to VISA JOURNEY, Kudos to VJ and its wonderful people.
