Any K-3 Approvals if you filed August 2007 or after?

[JustWaiting 0]

Done. I don't need twenty paragraphs to defend my choice, which is that your particular choice is not necessarily apply to everyone.

I am cautious to give advice based on my case or to say don't do this or don't do that because every case is different, if anything I've learned that.

No kidding on the wine!! Is it 5:00 yet??

There are K3 hopefuls posting here that are wasting time sitting on CR1 visa processes in the slim or none hope their K3 process will win the day, even in the face of compelling (to me) evidence to the contrary. Shall I blow smoke into their unrealistic hopes to make them feel good, or advise them to whip the CR1/IR1 horse to best speed their happy reunion with their spouse?

You make your choice and I'll make mine. OK?

I do not advice anyone to sit on their CR1. Not once. That is a Choice they have to make for themselves.

I suggest for difficult embassies to following through right up until the last step as I am doing. If they can wait then forget the K3 and do the time. No one case is alike. I do recommend everyone filing their K3 petition. IT is free. It does not complicait the process at all, which is what miss information is leading people to believe. IF you have a difficult embassy you should absolutely file the K3.

When I responded to grasshopper, he stated he had both potions in. He stated his I130 in his post. I wast stating that his petitions would be approved soon. I was not speaking to one or the other. That was not denial for me or him.

I am going the K3 route. It is my right that the USCIS provided me. I have a right to be informed with the process and a decision owed to me. I am the USCIS's customer. I am going to fight for justice that is owed me and everyone else who has been left confused by this whole process. Everyone wants to sit around and accept it as so. I am not sitting around. I am crossing my T's and dotting my I's. I will be victorious.

Ok I have a question, what is the longest you can wait after you get your noa1 for your I-130 to send in the I-129f for the k3? Im waiting for my husbands new g325a forms to get to me and my noa1 for the I130 is feb. 21st. Is it to late for me to go for the k3?

Technically, you can wait as long as you want, provided the I-130 isn't approved before you send the I-129F. If I were filing today, I would not file an I-129F for spouse until I could verify an approved petition still has a chance of resulting in an opportunity to apply for a K3 visa. At the moment that is a big question mark. It also appears that worse than being useless, the filing of the I-129F can delay the approval of the I-130 and thus further delay rather than hasten the couple's reunion.

I keep getting touches, and I have been touched now two days in a row after they told me my K-3 Visa had been "Administratively closed" what does this means!???? has this happened to anyone else???

I don't want to get excited about it, or call but I am feeling some sort of excitment... or maybe I am reading too much into the touches!!

I don't know what's going on with my case... uscis approved I-130 on feb 19th but they haven't approved I-129 as of yet. I thought it doesn't matter coz I-130 has been approved and I should get that one processed, so I have been calling NVC since last week but getting the automated response that they have no record on file or they still haven't received the papers yet.

I just called USCIS to find out if they have sent the case to NVC but the immigration officer was ......, he was trying to be extra smart and not answering any of my question properly, he talked for about 20 mins and advised me I shouldn't get excited about I-130 as that is still taking years, however I-130 together with I-129F is a faster process, so I have to wait for I-129 to get approved, and I guess then they will be rolling I-129 all the way, I am really confused and thinking to call back and talk to somebody who can answer properly

Most I-130's do take years but yours is for a spouse, so it won't. All you want to know is whether your case has been forwarded to NVC. Don't let them confuse you with other issues they probably know less about than you do.

Congratulations on your aproval!

If your I-130 was approved first, without the I129f approval then the I-130 probably will be forwarded to the NVC.

Are you from the Vermont Service Center?

i have not seen an I129f approval from the vermont center yet, just I-130. I am away on a conference so I have not been checking the timelines.

The Customer Service people who answer the phone do not know anything more then what you know. Unfortunately. They hire them to keep us appeazed and at bay. We could answer the questions from home with a manual. *wink

Keep checking the automated system. Good luck!

There are a couple of people that sent the I-129F in August so how would they have receipt or priority date from July?

It's Awednumi and GP & PM.

Are you looking at the colums of when the I-129 was sent or the I-130?

Both our petitions were approved 11 March 2008 at CSC

[july052007 0]

hey guys!! ours is approved March 11, 2008.... both I130 and I129F petitions via CSC!!! we filed last August 2007

[nadzeela 0]

Congrats to all you folks whose I-130 and/or I-129 have been approved

[nadzeela 0]

Yesterday I called USCIS again because they confused me, once again talked to some stupid cust serv rep, who said the same thing what first person said your I-130 will take years even though I told them it's for spouse but as we know they are morons, I asked them to let me speak with some Immigration Officer but they cust serv rep tried to be extra smart, and never xferred my call to imm officer

Later on, I looked at the I-130 approval and found out it takes about 90 days after approval for NVC to receive the paperwork, that means I gotta wait that long
