hello !!! anybody here can tell me if i am at the right forum to post my case ..my husband filing i-130 alone and we got our noa2 approval from the uscis and for now waiting for the nvc but i started to get confused when yu and dan asked me what i am filing for i-130 or i-129f? because my profile says i am filing for k-3 and why i am posted here at IR-1 / CR-1 filers ? my question is where am i supposed to post my case??? all i know is filing the i-130 alone is the same with cr-1 am i mistaken here????

since you filed for it alone, then you're a Cr1/Ir1 case.

to be K3 you would've had to send in the I129f in after you got your NOA1

USCIS Revises Filing Instructions for Petition for Alien Relative

Form I-130s to be filed with the Chicago Lockbox

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has revised the filing instructions for the Petition for Alien Relative (Form I-130). Effective immediately, all petitioners filing stand-alone Form I-130s must file their petitions with the Chicago Lockbox instead of a USCIS Service Center. A USCIS Update was issued on Nov. 30, 2007, encouraging petitioners to file with the Chicago Lockbox while the form was being revised.

The revision to the instructions of Form I-130 became effective on January 31, 2008. USCIS published an USCIS Update announcing these changes on Feb. 19, 2008. USCIS is issuing this reminder to notify petitioners that improperly filed Form I-130s will be rejected. Now that the revision is complete, filing with the Chicago Lockbox is required. As of April 30, 2008, all stand-alone Form I-130s submitted to any location other than the Chicago Lockbox will be rejected.

Petitions filed with the Chicago Lockbox will be routed to, and adjudicated at, the appropriate USCIS Service Center. This routing will be based on the petitioner’s place of residence in the United States.

Two separate post office box addresses (see below) have been established that correspond to the appropriate USCIS Service Center (either Vermont or California) that will process and adjudicate the petition. Although Form I-130 must be filed with the Chicago Lockbox, petitioners will receive receipt notices from either the Vermont or California Service Center.

Petitioners who reside in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin or Wyoming must file their stand-alone Form I-130s with the Lockbox using the following address:

USCIS

P.O. Box804625

Chicago, IL 60680-1029

Petitioners who reside in Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, U.S. Virgin Islands, West Virginia or District of Columbia must file their stand-alone Form I-130 with the Lockbox using the following address:

Well... in my case, that DS-3032 choice of agent shortcut had save me at least one month because I've already paid my IV bill before my wife even received the DS-3032 form.

So I suggest doing at least that 1st shortcut. Its real easy. Once you know that NVC generated your DS-3032 form, you can send them an email instead of actually waiting for that form.
