Lets collect some information about IMBRA effects

[m_olask 0]

the draft looks like it will not require any additional documents UNLESS you have have a record or have filed k1s in the past. there is also a link to a document requesting an emergency form by June 9. is this progress?

where is this draft? what is the link you speak of?

thanks

So.... is everyone going to run off and get married and apply for a K3?

It's tempting!

I am going tomorrow to see Luz. I would marry her while I am there but it takes longer than the 2 weeks I am there. If I can find a way to speed it up I just might do that!!

Just got the same email about transferring to California - I posted it in another thread.

Don't know what this means

Tired of freaking out over this stuff

Getting married and doing DCF is not an option in Mexico

just remember, the k-3 have been affected, none have been processed since march 6th either.

I would wait a little while before making any decisions

I was hoping you would all get married, thereby bumping me up in the K1 line when they finally do start processing.

How do you guys know K3 - petitions are not affected by IMBRA?

Mommy says I have something at home in the mail from "immigration"...wonder what it is!

Aussie Wench posted this to explain how IMBRA affects K1 and K3s

ok.....for starters whenever you see 101(a)(15)(K) mentioned in the IMBRA it refers to a section of law (INA, Immigration & Nationality Act) that is for K nonimmigrants which includes both fiances ands spouses (K-1 & K-3)

Also, the processing of I-129F petitions for spouse that are processed at NBC (what used to be Missouri Service Center) has come to a halt and they are showing processing petitions with a receipt date of March 5 just as VSC is.

I will highlight a few sections of the IMBRA which also show that spouses (K-3) are also included.

‘‘(4)(A) The Secretary of Homeland Security shall create a database

for the purpose of tracking multiple visa petitions filed for fiance´(e)s and spouses under clauses (i) and (ii) of section

101(a)(15)(K). Upon approval of a second visa petition under section

101(a)(15)(K) for a fiance´(e) or spouse filed by the same United

States citizen petitioner, the petitioner shall be notified by the

Secretary that information concerning the petitioner has been

entered into the multiple visa petition tracking database. All subsequent

fiance´(e) or spouse nonimmigrant visa petitions filed by that

petitioner under such section shall be entered in the database.

‘‘((i) Once a petitioner has had two fiance´(e) or spousal petitions

approved under clause (i) or (ii) of section 101(a)(15)(K), if

a subsequent petition is filed under such section less than 10

years after the date the first visa petition was filed under such

section, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall notify both the

petitioner and beneficiary of any such subsequent petition about

the number of previously approved fiance´(e) or spousal petitions

listed in the database.

( VISA AND ADJUSTMENT INTERVIEWS.—

(1) FIANCE´ (E)S, SPOUSES AND THEIR DERIVATIVES.—During

an interview with an applicant for a K nonimmigrant visa,

a consular officers shall—

(A) provide information, in the primary language of

the visa applicant, on protection orders or criminal convictions

collected under subsection (a)(5)(A)(iii); (this is the criminal background check)

Hope that helps.

Our case was just transferred to California as well : ( I have a 4 month old daughter who has never seen her father : (

I haven't told my fiance yet. I feel everyone's pain.

I thank Gosh that I joined this forum today, I wouldn't make it through the day without you guys!

Thank you for keeping me sane.

NBC is processing March 5th regarding to the timeline, but remember it has been processing february 21st before, so there is really no proof that they are actually on hold at all.

Hm I just wonder why they dont recall K3 petitions as wel...maybe cos they havent began processing them yet?? With the receipt date after march 6th....could be a reason though.

I thought they were... just made all these comments based on what americanwoman posted re info received from Congressman's office.

Well well just when I begin to get angry...

I think I'm gonna start a new thread on this new i-129F, in ImmiLaw. Or maybe there's one there already. Well, see you there....
