The notice says my petition is at MISSOURI SERVICE CENTER. I thought the petition is sent to my area service center in Vermont after its checked in Chicago. Does it stays in MSC or it get sent to Vermont?

I don't know. Mine was sent to MSC as well but I think I read here that it's sent to Chicago lock box, then to Missouri and then to either Vermont or California. Don't ask why since I can't make sense of this whole process. lol

So it seems some of us here are on the EXACT same track. I got married Dec 24th and received my K-3 NOA1 on 26th February.

What are we thinking for NOA2? I've seen most of them for K-3 hit at two months, but a little less. So I'm praying for early April, expecting late April.

QUESTION - :unsure: - What exactly do we do now? The guide isn't all that clear. I know I start to gather supporting documents like 384 or whatever. But what does SHE do while waiting in India?

Thanks.

K-3 Visa

07/22/2006 - Applied for K1 - I-129F mailed to Vermont Service Center, VSC

08/02/2006 - Package got sent back requesting a different form (different revision). Proceeded to weep like a girl. Decided against fiance visa with newfound setback. Will wait for December wedding.

12/24/2006 - Marriage

02/05/2007 - I-130 sent to VSC and confirmed receipt following day.

02/13/2007 - I-130 NOA1 received

02/15/2007 - K-3 sent to Chicago and confirmed receipt following day.

02/26/2007 - K-3 NOA1

03/02/2007 - I-129F (K-3) sent to Vermont Service Center (from Missouri Service Center)

03/11/2007 - Received email notice: I-129F in VSC is now pending (whatever the heck that means)

04/05/2007 - I-130 and K-3 APPROVED! (email notice) (rec'd postal mail 04/13)

04/09/2007 - NVC received case (called 603 334 0700)

04/11/2007 - Shipped to Chennai.

05/17/2007 - Received confirmation of receiving package via postal mail in India with interview date! (took 36 days!)

06/15/2007 - Interview! VISA APPROVED!!

06/29/2007 - She's in my arms...

I think its still to early for us or our spouse to do anything right now but what i understand from the K3 guide is that we need to complete a I-134 form and have copies of the I-130/I129F packets ready to send to our spouse.

The spouse needs to start gathering documents such as vaccination records, proof of relationship (Greeting cards, Phone Bills, etc). Also start looking over forms (156, 230, etc) that will be included in the packets they receive once the petition is approved and the file is sent to consulate. This way when they do get the packets they can fill it out and have everything ready to send back quickly.
