How much time do James's Shortcuts save?

At what stage of the process are these shortcuts useful?

I was told it can turn 4 to 6 months into 6 to 8 weeks. And this is from a reliable source. It is being used by many VJers.

Thank you.

And does this help in the first part of the process, or can it speed things up while your case is pending?

(Sorry if I ask silly questions, but I'm trying to understand how this works and if we could use it. We have received NOA1 for I-130 January 22, and NOA for I-129 F January 30.)

Why do u think it will be slow?I think Vermont works faster than California.

I always thought Vermont worked quicker than California too .... I just glanced at the processing times via the link at the top of the page. California is stating it's dealing with I-130's from July 15th 2007 .... Vermont states it's dealing with those from June 6th 2007. I know the site was only updated January 15th 2008, but from that alone it looked like California was ahead a little.

Maybe because the January filers seem to be getting their NOA1's quicker than the Oct/Nov/Dec filers, maybe the rest of our stuff will go through quickly too ?

Hi.

I sent my I-130 on Jan 15 and received my NOA1 yesterday (Feb 18). I will be filling out the I-129F form and sending that in a day or two.

Can someone explain to me what's happening with the K-3 visa? Some messages on this thread indicate the K-3 won't be honored anymore? How is that possible? Where did you find that information? Also what is the CR-1 process and is that still possible after filing the I-130?

Thanks,

CrazyGujju

You don't need to use jame's shortcuts if you want K3 visa.This is used only for CR1/IR1.

I understand this. But if I could get a CR1/IR1 earlier than a K3, that would be great and I would go for it.

yeah i'm also curious about this, does anyone know?

Thanks
