129f K1 approval following the 130 cr-1 finished at NVC now what?

[juana17 1]

Our 129-f (k-1) was approved today at USCIS but our approved I- 130 CR-1 is still sitting at NVC waiting to be an interview in Cuba to be scheduled .. Now what do I do? what's the best I could hope for??? will they give us date now???

the NVC has all our filed forms case is complete/ Will they use the forms and fees filed already? I will call to get new number at NVC, which will be sent to the embassy fastest? all confused, just want to get it done!!!

I am a little confused by your timeline

you are talking about embassy in Cuba and at the same time your timeline says switzerland

your I130 was approved first and then your I129F got approved later? how weird?

where do you anticipate interview for K3? ?

where do you anticipate interview for I130? Cuba?

for K3, NVC just forwards to the embassy and embassy then contacts you

K3 and I130 have different case numbers

I would not expect NVC to use your I130 papers

if you go K3 now you may lose your fee and all your efforts at completing at NVC stage.

are you hoping the K3 scheduling will go faster and then get used for I130 instead?

suggestions

- post under NVC thread instead of K3

- ask other cuban for advice on scheduling

- call NVC operators for question

- wait for interview scheduling

first/

as far as US citizens go,We have no embassy in Cuba it is an Interest Section and is a part of the "Swiss Embassy" . I know , crazy .... It is unique also in Washington DC, no embassy of their own, but stuck in a little bunker building attached to the embassy of Switzerland. believe me when the US ends the embargo, and re-establishes normal relations wi/ Cuba it will be so different , and We can't wait....

second./ I130 approved first and our case completed at NVC before 129-f this is pretty normal for married persons. K-1 not K3 we are designated Cr-1 and our case will be interviewed in Cuba

Our 129f was fee waived as we already paid the I130, Afadavit of Support, IV processing fees

apparently no other cubans now on VJ are married, all are fiancees. We are married. yes it would have been faster to have filed as fiancee and married here but that was over a year ago.

the NVc says that the cuban consulate is capacity controlled so we wait till.......

I will get the new case number and ask many questions , I would need to have all of our file from our case sent anyway

as it has all of our documents, we do not have any more certified copies to give, they have all of them.

sometimes VJ members answer questions, other times its hard to know what to ask for. thank you. j

Thanks a lot for the explanations.

it depends how jam packed the consulate the NVC will forward your case to is...

my case was complete July 17,2009 and when i called the nvc at 603 334 0700 they told me they don't have me scheduled for an apt yet

so i am wondering how jam packed the jerusalem consulate is, since thats where my case will be forwarded

how do i post under the nvc??

yeah I know !!! it so frustrating isn't it? here we are , all complete, just dying to moe on to the next important step we've all been building for and then you call and get the crushing disappointment of no appointment made yet!!! Ay yi yi, I am feeling soooo bad because of this... when they tell you they just don't have any idea when, oh , it is too much. tha's why when I got my new notice of our 129-f approval I flipped , because from what I read it is a different procedure to get your interview, but now I am so confused!!! I really know that the NVC has all of the most important documents already filed so I just want to find out if they are gonna ask for moreof the same or use what they have and said was totally complete?

Maybe Cuba and Jerusalem are a little bit alike , but maybe not, Cuba is an enigma, and I'm half cuban so I should be able to handle it right?!! ha, not!!!! by nature I am this person , but with this long long seperation , I am more than I should be...

well , thank god there are people to share this with here. thanks juana[

Juana

you can also look at the consulate section and do searches for cuba for example.

I had a look and found like you that there are not many married couples around

more fiances around

thank you so much, it really is nice to have someone be interested, I often feel very alone with this , people who are not going thru it sometimes act like it is too much trouble , they just don't know. I am going to take the advice of some people here and go to the interview when ever it happens , it does seem like the safer thing to do. I just wish I could plan ANYTHING, this does take so much time and precious resources.... bless all who share their experience when you take the time to help another it is such a gift. J
