Confused....Can Anyone Tell Me What's Going On?

[Tom and Teaw 1]

I filed my I-130 last November. It got transferred from the East Coast to Calif for processing. I just returned from visiting my wife in Thailand and have a notice that processing has been finished and my I-130 was transferred to Homeland Security in Charlotte, NC for interview but my wife lives in Thailand and is not in the States. Anyone know if this is a mistake or what?? Thanks.

Your profile says you filed for a K1 fiance visa. Is that correct? Or did you file the K3/CR1? K1 fiance visa doesn't apply if you are married to your wife. We need some more info.

The fiancee visa was cancelled and I deleted my timeline for it....I thought. We got married in Thailand last Sept. I filed the I-130 in Nov. So forget about the fiancee visa.

That's odd. Sounds like a call to the Charlotte office is in order. Any problems with the K1 process where someone would want to interview you?

Hope it's just a blip and not a bump in the road.

(btw your "Filed for" still says K1)

No reason that I know of to interview me. I had all my papers very well organized and I can't imagine there is anything they would want before her interview in Bangkok. It's baffling to me why they would send it to Charlotte. It just says they will notify me when they schedule an interview on the application or petition and any further inquiries should be made to that office. Problem is there is no phone number listed online or on the form to contact them, only the national customer service number.

It almost seems like they have it in their head that she is here now and you are applying for Adjustment of Status. I would try to get an infopass appointment in Charlotte.

If you want meaningful answers post exactly what the notice says, not your interpretation of it. Also, if you only filed an I-130 petition, this is not a K3 case. It would be a CR1 case.

There was a similar case not too long ago where the petitioner was scheduled for an interview at their local office. Thats not helpful, because I forgot what the reason or outcome was. But, it has happened to someone else.

Anyway, as someone else said, make an infopass appointment and find out what they need from you.

Good Luck

The problem is, Charlotte is a 3+ hour drive from me but they opened a new office in Durham, which is about 30 min. from me, over a year ago. So it should have gone to Durham, not Charlotte.
