Hi All,

I got an email that I-130 and K3 filed for my wife are approved at CSC. Actually I called USCIS this afternoon to see if they upgraded the I130 that I field as an LPR (recently I became a citizen). I don't know if that helped, but the thing went through. Anyways, thanks a lot to the members of this forum. It was a great source of help and hope.

I have one qucik question, now that both are approved which one will NVC pickup? Can we call them and let them know (do we have a choice)?

Thanks and blessings

Congratulations!

Lately they have been forwarded both I-130 and I-129F to NVC. But, you need to call NVC to confirm that.

You have a choice to pursue either I-130 or I-129F, or both.

If you do a search on VJ, you will find a lot of discussions on this topic not too long ago.
