two questions! K3 and processing dates

[Isabel 0]

Hey there,

Vermont is already processing the date 19th of March we received our NAO1 for I 129F on March 16th so does that mean that we should get our approval soon???

Another question if I enter the US on the K3 visa...why do I still have to have the I130? Do I need to immigrate in order to live and work in America? What is the actual sense of that? I mean if I can avoid all the expenses to fly back to my home country why would I want to get the CR1? Cant I just become a permanent resident with the K3 when I do the Adjustment of status???

Im confused here.

Thanks in Advance Isabel

Another question is the I129F processed in Vermont or Missouri????

lol Honey, it's USCIS, NONE of it makes sense!!! Although, the good thing is, if they're processing your date, you should hear from them soon.

Isabel,

If the posted date is past your NOA date, your case is probably being worked on. If the posted processing date is 30 days past your NOA date, your case is officially overdue and you can put in an inquiry.

The purpose of the K-3 is to let you wait in the US for approval of the I-130. Without the I-130 you have no basis to become a Permanent Resident (your goal) so I'd suggest that it's very important to you!

Yes, you must immigrate. You can do this one of two ways: use an immigrant visa (the CR-1 interview in your home country) or by Adjusting Status within the US (AOS). Both methods have plusses and minuses, most of them depending on what your District Office's schedule is, and how difficult your home Consulate is. Choose the path that is fastest or easiest for you.

I-129fs are kept in Missouri and processed there.
