Congrats to you and your SO and thanks for the info. It sure looks like VSC is working on petitions with NOA1 dates from the first half of January '08.

This sucks more than anything else has ever sucked before.

An October 2007 I-130, I-129F filer.

Should've played the Green Card Lottery instead - it's less random and more reliable.

What I've seen lately is that VSC is forwarding both petition to NVC, meaning you have two horses in the race. If you want the K3 visa, just ignore the NVC correspondence regarding the I-130.

Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
