JANUARY APPROVAL, Let's do NVC together

[BePatience 0]

Ok so question ..Is it Possible for us to push this I130 before I129f thru NVC to Embassy ..

Cuz i really dont want to pay for AOS or pay Ticket fair to india after two months she is here ..

but looks like i dont have a choice .. now i am confused if i should ask her to wait till she get I130 Interview .. but she already waited 1.5 yrs cant ask her to wait 2 or 3 months ..

so i think i should just go with AOS ..

what is you guys think ??? what would u do ??

Rahul,

Let me ask you this, Is your I-129f alread at respected embassy or consulate? How far are you into your I-130 process at NVC? Did they generate your DS3032 and AOS fee? what I did is my I-129f is already at mumbai consulate and they already received our packet 3, now we are waiting for interview date for I-129f while I am almost done with I-130 process here at NVC. Bottom line is if you have all docs ready for NVC process then you can easily get done with your I-130 process before I-129f interview date. So, its totally upto you how fast you do your paper work at NVC to complete CR1 process.

Good luck!

This is my status .. I got a letter from NVC saying that they are forwading the case to Chennai Counslate ..that is where i am Now...

Now i dont know if i should respond to I130 from NVC or Change of Status ..

Thanxs waithatter..

Rahul,

If I were you I would pursue both path to see which one gets me better interview. My question to you is do you really want to play the waiting with USCIS for adjust stauts? And if you respond your I-130 paper work as soon as they generate you might be able to finish your NVC process very quick.

So waithatter,

What i was thinking is even if i pursue the I130 they will only give her Green Card valid for 2 yrs since we are not married for more than 2 yrs. So i still have to go thru USCIS with I751 to remove the condition on Green card and i still have to pay $545 & all the delays. so was thinking why? ... let her come here early with K3 Valid for 2yrs & will deal with Adjustment of Status. Correct me if i am wrong .. i am like stuck here .. I just got the Affadavit of Support bill from NVC .. do i have to pay this if i am doing K3 & Adjustment of Status ? Let me know what you think? ..Thanks for you help..

Rahul

Rahul,

K3 visa is not work permit visa and if she doesnt want to work then go ahead, but I would still go for I-130 regardless since its just matter of 1 months thats just my personal opinion. Trust me dude you will be done with your I-130 process in less then 20 days if all your paper work is ready, but if you want to you can pursue k3.

I've gotten 4 letters from NVC, all with different dates ranging from 1/9-1/15 stating that our k3 will be forwarded to the consulate "within a week"

anyone else get multiple letters like this? just curious

Lisa,

I only got one letter.

Hey! I am also at the Islamabad embassy girls don't forget me! I'm waiting for the interview and going too! So, what can we do to try to get a shorter AP time? Is having the papers in check a way to prevent it or is that just going to happen no matter what we do?

We were approved on January 6th.. we recieved our NOA2 hard copy and two letters from the NVC, a few days apart from eachother. (??) I'm going to call them on Tuesday to ask if our case has been forwarded to London yet.. unless they're open tomorrow? (Don't think they are, but figured I would ask)

NVC office will be closed tomorrow. If you have the case # for I129F, then you can call 202-663-1225.

Option 1

Option 0

They would be able to tell you whether the petition / case has been received by the consulate in London. If "yes" then has the consulate generated packet 3 and has it been sent to the beneficiary.

Good luck

well, appartently you cant go by the first dated letter, or the second, maybe not even the third ...consulate still has not received our 129f as of today.

Lisa,

When did NVC say they forwarded your I-129f consulate? It usually takes 3 days from the time NVC shipped your case through DHL. I track mine and as soon as I saw my case reached consulate my wife sent packet 3 the next day.

Well, they havent...I received the four letters, the earliest dated 1/9/8, They all said the 129f would be sent to the consulate "within the week". ???

Consulate asked me to check back next week. See, I keep contacting them because I needed to change husbands address. So, I'll bug them again next Monday.

Your wife sent the packet 3 to them without waiting for them to mail it to her? I wonder if Amman would accept that.

As long as consulate have packet 3 on there website, I am sure you can send it in. As of right now my wife have not receive packet 3 from consulate and consulate said they sent it on Jan 12th so, instead of waiting for packet 3 it is wise to send it in.
