Transfer application

[Harry_pal 1]

Hello Every one

This is Harinder here. My Application (I-130 Brother and sister) is Under Process. Now i am going to Marry with my Girl friend(US Citizen).she is coming to India in few wks. The Question is, after marry my wife will apply K3 visa for me. so i will get some credit of months behalf of my previous Application(I-130)?.because my application is already in the Que. so while applying new Application K3 there will be some deduction in processing time of K3 Application.

Thanks

No you dont get credit time, its a brand new application starting from the bottom. You will want to look at the CR-1 as the K-3 is no longer being processed at the NVC. It has been administrativly closed.

yup like folks above said, K3 is no longer being processed b/c they basically process both K3 and I-130 (green card) apps at the exact same time (dont believe the nonsense any immigration attny tells you about the K3 - it is NO LONGER being processed if you have a pending I-130). The "credit" you have will not apply b/c now your wife will probably be filing a new I-130 (you should confirm this though, b/c I'm not sure about this), since it is an application being filed under a new separate relationship (ie w/ your wife).

Just get married in India, have your wife file for I-130 and play the waiting game. Unfortunately there is no short cut in this matter. you can expect to get an interview and immigrate in 6-8 months (5 months max for uscis approval and then ~ 3 months to interview after NVC process). Also, you may want to look into withdrawing your pending I-130 b/c of the brother/sister rel'n, as USCIS probably doesnt like the same applicant trying to gain entry thru multiple sources. good luck!
