I-130 approval

[Hope 2009 0]

Hello Everyone,

Alhamdulillah, I received a letter of approval in the mail on 06/01/09 for I129F. Wehn I called NVC in the evening, they confirmed that they received both applications from USCIS today (6/01). I am in need of some guidance here. I don't know what I should do at this stage to get things expedited.

I have follwoing questions:

1) Should I wait and do nothing while NVC processes the applications or there are forms/documents that I or my wife needs to get ready before I receive anything from NVC.

2) I have seen some members talking about a shortcut at NVC for I130, where I can find it?

3) Provided that applications have been approved, what should I do in terms of pursuing. Should I go for IR1/CR1 or for K3. Please remember the goal is to get my wife here as soon as possible

4) I have been delaying my trip to Pakistan in the hope that I will be able to accompany my wife at the time of interview. I hear that it won't be possible. Is it true and will a Congressman or a Senator's assistance make a difference. I really want to be able to be with my wife at the interview, at least be inside the embassy. Any suggestions?

Any help/guidance will be much appreciated. Specifically, I would like to hear from members from Pakistan who have been through similar situations.

Thank you.

Salam alaikum and congrats

I was very confused at this stage that you're in now

You have to choose which to pursue

I'm told the K3 is the quicker way but I have found it seems to be the more expensive way

I don't care how expensive really as long as my husband makes it here sooner

I chose the K3 only after I sent all the fees for the I-130 cuz then I found out by calling the NVC that the I-129 had been sent to the embassy already

We are now waiting for the interview and reading the posts on here i'm getting scared that this will take over a year even though my baby has his interview on the 15th Alhamdulillah

Oh well... inshallah he'll get here ONE day

Salaams

I upgraded my case on dec 8 and nothing yet after 2 years of pain in my N400. My wife is now taking depression pills since this july its our 4th Aniversary.

How long it took you guys for I130 approval?

First off congratulations on your approval. I would suggest you to go through this guide and prepare everything asap. A few things have changed a bit with NVC, these days NVC consults you through email, so do call up NVC number, talk to a representative and give out your email address.

I would suggest you to keep going with CR-1 visa, you won't have to waste another 1k once your spouse come over to USA and they can work asap they receive their SSN. Good luck!
