Hello,

I am a Moroccan citizen and I got married on July 2007 to an American citizen.

he filled the I130 and I129 at the same time and the website showed that it's received on October 25th

On March 21st the I130 is approved and my husband got a notice about it

I am a little worried and honestly I don't know how it works

1- Why the I130 is approved first?

2- Normally I will receive a notice from the US consulate in Morocco in 3 months maxim right?

3- What are the advantages of an approved I130?

4- Now that the I130 is approved what can I do?

It's too much questions sorry but I really need help from you friends.

Thank you very much

What service center did you filed at?If you filed at Vermont, no wander that they approved your I-130 only because they haven't approved any I-129F for K3 lately.Once I-130 is approved it is sent to National visa center for further processing.It stays there for 4 months approximately (maybe less, maybe more) and then it goes to consulate.The result is CR-1 visa, you get conditional green card for 2 years and you can work as soon as you arrive to the US- you don't have to file for work permission or adjustment of status(with K3 you have to do all that).CR-1 takes longer but the outcome is much better.

And fill in your timeline please!!!

Hello,

Thank you for the information

The service center is Vermont one. So they will not approve the I129?

What kind of medical exam I am supposed to have?

I made all the vaccination but I have no proof and it's old folder , I don't think they will look for it in the archive for me !!! Do I need to make the 16 vaccinations again????? :((

I added the timeline

Thanks again

I cannot tell whether your I-129F will get approved or not.Everything that I said was based on timelines of VJ members.There is a guide on this site about medical exam and what u need to know about it.I don't think u will have to do all those vaccinations again.
