I-130 APPROVED!!!!! APPROVED???

[Olya2007 0]

Hello my friends VJers!

I got an email notice about my I-130 Approval!!!!!

YES! I am definitely happy...but absolutely lost...

Let me share my story:

We got NOA 1 for I-130 on July, 16,

then on July 23 we sent our 129F (really wanting to pursue K3 path).

I was worrying that we have not gotten NOA1 for 129F by now

Almost all people who sent it on the same dates as we are already have it...

Apparently I found out that 129 F was sent to Chicago lock box instead of CSC (where my 130 already was)

by our paralegal who prepared our documents.

I was very upset about it and was ready to refile new package thinking that 129F was lost .

BUT the next morning I got change of status on I130-Approved!!! After about 30 days it was sent???!!!!!

I still can't believe it's possible, and will not until I get the hard copy NOA2!!!

Now I don't know what to do with K3 path...and how to deal with 129 F that I don't even know receipt # of...

Do you think it was approved so fast because we are in process second time around (see my signature for explanations)?

Anyway I am both HAPPY and pazzled....

Good luck to all of us !!!!

First you learned the hard way, that is best to DIY, using a lawyer or para-legal can cause problems sometimes.

Second FORGET the K-3, you are on the CR-1 path now, CR-1 is the superior visa, it results in a green-card upon entry to the USA. NO AOS and $1010 fee needed.

K-3:

I-130: $355

I-129F: NONE

Consulate: $131

AOS: $1010

($1496)

CR-1

I-130: $355

NVC I-864: $70

NVC Visa fee: $400 ($355+$45)

($825)

In most cases CR-1 has been taking about the same time to process as K-3.

That was pretty fast. Looks like CSC is working 24/7.
