Need some help here...

Ok, so I got the NOA2 for both the I-130 and the K3 back on Aug 4. Since then I have been following all of the steps with the NVC while my wife has been moving in tandem with the Embassy in Tokyo since they have been processing the K3 at the same.

I have basically have hit a fork in the road now and need to know what my options are. My wife is has done the medical and all the paperwork for the K3 visa and the embassy just sent her a letter the other day requesting her to send the DS-2001 form in to request an interview. I have never heard of this form and have no idea where to get it. Meanwhile, back here in the States, it looks like the CR-1 is literally one step behind the K3. I saw on the NVC website roughly a week ago that the IV Application fee had already been processed. From my understanding the only thing left to do is to complete the DS-230 and then the case will be complete (I was named as the agent on the DS-3032 if that makes any difference).

Should I expect the DS-230 package soon? My wife is getting really upset with me and it is getting really hard for her to wait as we have a 3 month old baby. I really want her to enter on the CR-1 if the time frame is within reach (meaning we can have an interview set within the next 3-4 weeks) since I really do not want to have to go through the hassle and the expense that an AOS brings with the K3.

Your thoughts and inputs as to how much longer I can expect the CR-1 to reach the Embassy are appreciated. One more thing also... when my wife's case does reach the Embassy, will they automatically schedule an interview for her or must we request one? We can not get a clear answer as the phone number at the Embassy will not answer my wife's questions when she calls.

Thanks!

Cheers Michael,

Go over to the thread for NVC it should help you alot - but normally not sure about ur SO country, the interview is already scheduled on the I130 when it leaves NVC - so hopefully thats your route to go - toss that I129f out the door.

There are some timelines over there and a few peeps from the same country so you can either ask or compare time lines.
