Frustration

[laelae 1]

Hi VJers! Is it just me or do you just feel the need to scream right now! I mean I have my good days and my bad days and I guess this is a bad day for me! I would give anything to speak to a representative working directly in the CSC, I believe we all would feel better if we only knew the process step by step. I have been reading all the different questions everyone has and the answers being given. I have yet to read any post explaining the steps. How accurate is the estimated timelines, on this journey cause I check that everyday more than once. I spend all day starring at my cell phone for a text message only God only knows how often I check my email daily. I know patience, patience, patience, is the key and that's the second thing on my prayer list nightly.. well ok at least I vented a little and I feel somewhat better. One question though if my I-130 comes through 1st cause it was put in 1st, does that mean the K-3/K-4 is a lost case?

Thanks for listening, the one thing that has kept me going is my faith in God and I know that all of you would say the same! God bless

If you spent more time reading all the posts indicating K3 is virtually obsolete, instead of checking your email, you would already know the answer to your question.

That's because that's all in the guides. Please read them.

Because you filed an I-129f, your I-130 lost its place in line. It was pulled out when they received the I-129f and both of them went to the back of the case load. That being said, if the two petitions are not approved at the same time and you get an I-130 approval first, your I-129f cannot be approved.

According to USCIS (Vj'ers will tell you different) K-3 and I-130 run parallel although evidence has obviously not proved that to be true...

Don't look at other peoples NOA 2's... It'll just make you want to scream more... (trust me) You won't be able to talk to CSC, just that stupid call center. And yes, I too feel like screaming at times, the transparency in this process is obviously not present.

Yes, K-3 is obsolete... so you may ask why did I do it? Cause I was foolish and stupid, wish I did'nt but oh well... past is past...

Also, it is not necessarily obsolete... depends on the embassy your dealing with... CR-1 will take you through dealing with NVC (NVC will process) vs. K-3 (embassy processes)

Anyway, you've just filed in August.. so check your status on line if it says "Initial Review" your probably in the background check, as i was told that's the longest portion of the "initial review" portion by my senator.

Anyway, stay up & happy, we will all get through this extremely long & tiring process.

Good Luck

Also, the "immigration timelines" on herer..... NOT ACCURATE!... VJ represents a very small population of actual petitions uscis has on hand.

actually, mine and many others were approved within a week of the "based on your timeline your petition....." date. It jumps around alot depending on the processing trends but its a pretty good tool actually
