K3 route, ignore NVC letters for I130?

[zidane 0]

We are going the K3 route and proceeding with the I129F at the embassy. Should we ignore letters from the NVC we receive for the immigrant visa petition?

We got a letter from the NVC about a 'choice of agent' and a request to pay the AOS fee. Should we just ignore these?

Also what happens if a person were to go through this whole NVC process with the I130, and still take the K3 interview and come to the US on a K3 visa. All the fees and progress with the NVC with the I130 would then be wasted?

Yes, you may simply ignore all correspondence from NVC regarding the I-130.

If you want to get the I-130 paperwork at the embassy before the k3 visa approval, you'd have to work pretty hard at getting it through NVC in less than a month. Would be worth it if you expect also to be in Administrative Review for a while (if that's the norm for Pakistan?). Otherwise, unless you're willing to work rapidly on the NVC processing, following all the fastest short cuts, then it would be best to stick with the k3 visa. Depends on your individual needs.

No, your money would not be wasted.

I just called NVC today. They explained that a person can either adjust status once in the US on a K3 visa OR continue with the I130 immigrant visa process. If you choose the latter, you will have to travel back to the country of origin for the immigrant visa interview at the US embassy.

The money is wasted unless you return to your country for an immigrant visa interview.

and by the time add that cost of flying back, you probably end up paying more than the 1010 of AOS.

Yeah but in the long run CRs are WAY better as they can work a LOT sooner than a K3. If K3s have problem with AOS they can end up in deep da kine. For one end up being deported if anything should happen to the petitioner!

If you are planning on going back for a visit anyway, and if you can get a ticket for less than $1,000 it might be worth it for some people.

Actually, even if your ticket costs a bit more than $1,000 it might be worth it, since you are getting a trip out of it!

Getting to work soon is not an issue for some people. I'm hoping my husband will stay home with our daughter for at least a year and a half.

Also, if anything happened to the spouse before AOS, I would think the immigrant would like to return home for the support of family. not worry about deportation.

Can you explain? I'm not sure what you mean about deportation, or why deportation is something that we should worry about.

Deportation means you are ordered to leave the USA and not return for a long time or ever. If your US Citizen spouse dies before AOS is complete, this could happen. If you enter on a CR1 or IR1, it does not. As mentioned, some may leave anyway but most would like the choice.

Well, I'm not too worried about dying in the next few months.

But just to clarify, if the US citizen dies before AOS, the spouse is deported.

If the if the US citizen dies before the immigrant visa is issued, the immigrant never gets to come to the US at all.

If the US citzen dies after AOS, the spouse is not deported.

If the US citizen dies after the immigrant visa is issued, the immigrant is not deported.

Is this correct?

Except for the last one. Technically, the US Citizen could die after the visa is issued but before it is used. This is an area of some concern we've recently disagreed about here when it happened to some people.

Okay, I think I understand.

In one scenario, the USC decides to pursue the K3 and do AOS or continue with the immigrant visa process at a later date. If the USC dies before the spouse adjusts status or receives the immigrant visa, he/she will be deported.

On the other hand, the USC decides not to pursue the K3, and the spouse waits in his/her own country for the immigrant visa. If the USC dies before the spouse receives the immigrant visa, he/she won't be deported, only because he/she never left the country of origin.

I don't see how the person who pursues the K3 while continuing with the immigrant visa process (which is the topic of this thread) is at a disadvantage in this scenario.
