Refiling K-3

[pushbrk 12,898]

Yes it was approved but i did not go to the medical and interview. We sent out both I-130 I-129 F.

Then you don't need to refile a new I-130 at all. Just follow through with the one you already have.

Now i am more confused.

[Darnell 8,478]

What is the priority date means on the noa-1? Is that the day that we sent out the application?

Priority dates are 'when a visa # is available'

For Spousal -based visas, it's immediate availability. So that priority date is prolly the same date of notice, or even a day before.

re: ex wife info.

I'm sure he has it somewhere - check the divorce decree documents - it's BOUND to be in there.

Good Luck !

What is the status on that I-130 ?

If it is still at NVC - then there is huge possibility to 'kick it into play' at NVC. You say you did not do medical or interview for this I-130, but I'm betting (right or wrong) that HE did not submit I-864 or DS-230 at NVC, either. IF that's the case -

Check the I-130 casefile number (starts with WAC or EAC)

then call the NVC AVR system, input the casefile number.

If it's still active, then NVC AVR will read back an NVC casefile number, usually starting with MNL . (I THINK?)

IF you get an NVC casefile number on this old I-130, then have yer us spouse call NVC , and jump start it all.

You might want to review this, in case he is successful to jump start the old I-130 -

Those appointments are supposed to be last year which was the month of april 2008 and it is almost two years now. The reason why we did not contact the embassay/NVC because they exactly said on the letter that there will be a possible termination if it is already a year.

The birthdates are not being written in there so i think we will just leave it blank.

and you DID NOT USE the NVC AVR system, either. Please. use the NVC AVR system, on the old I-130 casefile.

Thanks !

Am sorry Darnell but what do you mean to use this NVC AVR system?

Sounds like you called the Embassy in Manila. You need to contact the National Visa Center in New Hampshire about the I-130. You're confused because you have no basic understanding of the process. Start by reading the CR1 guide. Pay special attention to the NVC stage.

National Visa Center

Automated Voice Response

Ask yer US Husband to call them tonight, get into the AVR, and check the OLD I-130 casenumber - see if any status on it AT NVC. If the casefile exists, is possible to kick start this I-130 AT NVC (re-read what I wrote prior, get that info to yer husband)

Thanks Darnell we will try to check it.

Few months ago had posted here about the termination matter and got many different responses as well but some think that it is better just to go ahead and refile. This what makes me really confused.

No. First determine what became of the previously approved I-130. If you indeed need to refile, mail the petition to the address indicated for the US Citizens State of residence. You'll find it in the all important I-130 "instructions".
