Yesterday 8/25/2008 I recieved a second NOA for the intial I130 sent. Got this even before I have sent out teh 129F. I am not sure as to where to send the 129F(for my wife and step-daughter). I130 was received in Chicago and sent to NH. So, do I send the 129F to teh address on the NOA? That would be california.

I am a bit confused as I am to send teh 129F to where the I130 is being processed; I don't think that is NH, but I would like to confirm that.

Any help would be appreciated.

Also, seems I got the NOA for teh I130 REALLY early. Does this matter much?

Filed I-130 July 28, 2008

NOA1 dated July 31, 2008

NOA2 dated August 18, 2008, hard copy received August 25, 2008.

This for both spouse and daughter.

From what I know so far, 21 days approval after filing is quite fast and I had received advice to go for the CR1/CR2-IR1/IR2 route. We have not filed our I-129F yet though we wil be in a couple days due to some unforseen circumstances (aka failure of the postal system). Where are we supposed to file it if our I-130 is now en route to the NVC?

Also it is my understanding that the USEM will waive the K3 application if there is already an approved Immigrant I-130 petition. How/why so? What should we do now? :unsure:

:help:

12-09-08 - INTERVIEW @ 6:30AM...God be with us! --- APPROVED!!!

One of the requirements for filing I-129F for spouse (K3) is a pending I-130.

Since your I-130 is approved, filing I-129F for a K3 visa is longer an option for you.

You didn't mention whether you file one I-130 or two. Did you file a I-130 for daughter as well? If you have not, you may want to do it now.

Yes, I have filed an I130 for both my wife and our baby girl. So, IF the 129F route is no longer an option for us, do we just wait for the correspondence for NVC? and I am plagued by the time issue now....are we still looking at 8-12 months or not?
