SO CONFUSSED

Relax. The correct answer is: "yes." Do a search for "LingChe's shortcuts" on this site to get a good idea of what you need to do. I've included a short summary below.

First, you need to send the DS-3032 in. Do this by e-mail FIRST, but if you can, send it via snail mail too. Don't send them any forms your husband is supposed to fill out until you've confirmed they've received and processed your DS-3032, because they won't be able to process what you send them.

Second, begin assembling everything for the AOS. You said you downloaded the AOS--which form? I-864 or I-864EZ? If you are only filing an I-130 for your husband, and your income is above the poverty line, you should use I-864EZ. If you can't meet the income requirements, then you need to fill out an i-864 and either have someone IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD (meaning living with you) fill out an I-864A to help you meet the requirement, or find someone outside the household to be a joint sponsor to fill out the I-864. In either of those scenarios, you're going to need tax info for everyone filling out forms, so start assembling all of that. If you already have all of this and you have paid the AOS, you can send them all of that now. This is independent of the DS-3032 stuff.

Once your DS-3032 is processed, your IV bill will be generated. Pay that and wait for it to be processed, and THEN send in everything for the DS-230. (You said you paid both bills, but then you said that your husband sent you his DS-3032, so I'm not sure if you've paid the IV bill yet?) Make sure you print out the proper cover sheet (with barcode) for your DS-230! Something important here is that you need to find out if where you're interviewing is a STANDARD or AP embassy/consulate. If you are STANDARD, you'll need to send the NVC fewer things, but you will need to schedule an appointment at your embassy yourself and the embassy folks will tell you what to bring to the appointment. If you are AP, then you need to send the NVC a LOT more stuff, but they will schedule an appointment for you and send most of your documentation to the embassy in question. (This does not mean you will not need to bring anything to the embassy yourself! You should still check with the embassy to see what else you'll need to bring!)

I hope this helps. Don't worry! You'll get this done soon.

Jo, we have asked you to clarify which visa you are filing for. If it is a K3, it will not be at NVC very long at all. This could be reason why it is not in their system.

IF its a K3 the NVC AVRS will NOT aknowledge your USCIS receipt number TALK TO A OPERATOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THEN ask the operator if it is in AP. then wont tell you unless you ask this.

YIKES!! SO the I-130 is approved. IF this is the case, IGNORE all transactions on the K3 and follow thru with NVC on the I-130

Im doing somewhat the same thing, my K3 is in AP at NVC, so Im proceeded on the CR-1 visa responses from NVC. And Im "I pray" days away from case complete with NVC on the I-130 CR-1 visa.

P.S. if your following change you profile from K3 to CR-1 here on VJ. Less confusion that way. It will be fine.

sorry let me make my self a lot it clearier ,, okay i have filed on I 130 on june 2009 and after i got the reciept notice i went a head and send the I129F now on august 27 i got the approval notice for both the I 130 and The I 129F ( this is biggggggggggggg time prayer answered) wow i was thrilled so that they said they worwarded to the nvc am at the stage as you said it has been just 6 days i did not count like you did lol this is the status where am at i don't know which one to cont with i know if i go though the I29F he could come with out a hassle of nvc but i don't want to go though the ajd of status till two years of our anniversary which gives me a little break so any suggestion am up to listen

My 2 cents.... If your I-130 was approved, I would just go that route (IR1/CR1) versus the K-3.... It is better to have the GC and just remove the conditions then go through Adujustment of Status....

Jo like I said, IGNORE any communication for the K3, and deal with NVC only on the CR1

Look the NVC will send the K3 to the embassy, then the embassy will send the beneficiary your hubby information on when to get his medical, and what docs to brng to interview, he is to IGNORE it!!!! Do NOT respond to embassy on the K3, and it is just that simple and it will NOT effect anythng on your I-130 at the NVC or when the I-130 reaches the embassy when you complete the NVC stage.

Jo, if anyone knows about this it is Paris as she has been going through the CR1 and K3 routes! I did not do the K3, just the CR1.... But from what I have gathered, the K3 is pretty obsolete.... Best of Luck....
