If you want a K3 visa, that's the wording you're looking for but it is not the only possibility. It will be good to hear from the OP as to the wording of their NOA2 for I-130. If it says the same, that's good news for those who really want a K3 visa. Let's wait and see in a few days when it comes.

As I have posted many times, my K3 petition did not make it to the NVC after an approval on both I-130 and K3 on the same day, Jan. 9, so called USCIS. They ordered my file back from NRC and found that it was still in that file. Adjudicator for some reason approved the I-130 for a second time and when I received that second approval notice in the mail, it contained the wording, "The above petition has been approved. The petition indicates the person for whom you are petitioning is in the United States and will apply for Adjustment of Status." The first approval notice for I-130 I received did not have this wording. The adjudicator said that my K3 petition was in the bin waiting to be forwarded to the NVC and should be there by the end of March, so after seeing what you said, Pushbrk, I feel more confident that my K3 will end up at NVC. I will keep everyone informed what I find out.

All signs point to your K3 getting to NVC but all we really know is that your I-130 NOA2 has the appropriate wording for a K3 case.

Exactly, and I will inform you when and if my K3 makes it to NVC, so maybe that will end some of the questions.

I'm afraid it will take more than one answer to clear up much. Your case is on the cusp, in that your I-130 was filed well before the fee increase. I'm getting the feeling though that USCIS has seen the error of their ways and are now going forward with K3 cases as the petitioners intended. Their little hiatus was quite the travesty. Let's hope for the best and be prepared for less.

Yes, I-130 was filed well before the fee increase, but my I-129 was filed after the fee increase, so therefore, it was free. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the whole question...whether or not they are allowing K3 to be forwarded to NVC if the K3 was filed after the fee increase? Of course, the answer is up in the air until I find out for sure that my K3 actually makes it to NVC. Please, if I am wrong in my thinking, feel free to correct me. I am hoping as you say.

Not knowing the answer makes it impossible to be certain we have the right question in mind but generally, yes you've stated what seems to be the question.
