I-130 APPROVED on 5/1/08!!! Haven't gotten a letter yet, but it's supposedly in the mail ... No approval on the I-129F yet, though ... I'm wondering how long I should wait on that before deciding that I'm going with the I-130 alone ...

The way I see it, the goal of permanent residence is now well on its way - but I can still save some time in terms of getting my wife HERE if I go with the K3 because the processing time at the NVC is significantly shorter ... anyone know what the time difference is at the NVC between an I-130 alone vs the K3 "combo"???

CONGRATULATIONS rajee, that is great. VSC is finally doing something on us married couples.

Sorry, I wish I could answer your question. Im sure someone else will soon.

Thanks, Paris Heart! :)

Now I'm just waiting for the I-129F -- because looking at the processing times it seems like it still saves a lot of time as compared to waiting for the I-130 to be processed at the NVC by itself for "the full permanent resident" thing ...
