k3 visa requirements

[Tr. J 0]

Hello everyone! It's my first time to write something here in VJ. My interview is fast approaching

my husband and I fixed all the papers we need for the K3 visa interview. He sent me through email

his Form 134, pay stubs, Form 1040 etc. Do they need the Form 134 with his actual signature or the one from

email will be fine?..I also did the schedule for my interview online and got the confirmation via email,

when I printed it there's no logo of US Embassy but my email account stating "Appointment confirmation"..sorry

for these questions I just need help from you guys especially those who had finished this stage. I appreciate you

help.

Are you sure it is a K3 visa? Your timeline shows that you applied for a CR1 visa. If that is the case, then your interview should be for a CR1 visa, not a K3 visa. K3 visas die at the NVC if the CR1 visa is already being processed.

Besides the path from a CR1 visa to a permanent 10 year green card is less expensive and less hassle.

Yeah it's K3, I received a letter from the US Embassy stating this "IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Please read and follow all interview preparation instructions for immigrant or fiancee K1/K3 visa applicants located on the Embassy web site..etc.."

Did your husband also pay $88 and $404 fees to NVC and provide an I-864? What happened to your I-130 petition?

If it really is a K3 visa interview, you'll need the actual signed I-134.

mt husband didn't pay for $88 and $404 fees to NVC and didn't provide an I-864. My I-130

petition was approved but they just forwarded the I-129F here in Manila and he received a notification stating that our case was under K3.

Thanks for the update. Can you confirm whether both petitions were approved the same day? We've seen three such instances of I-129F petitions being forwarded to NVC ahead of I-130 petitions. Yours might be the fourth such report. Trying to determine if there's a new procedure at USCIS to counter what NVC has been doing.

Thanks. It appears that your two petitions arrived separately at NVC with the I-129F probably arriving AFTER the I-130. Why is unclear and really it's not clear which arrived first. I'm speculating the I-130 did because of the "appellate" language in the notice. It's a data point to consider but not particularly helpful. Thanks again.

You do have a point there. Because when my husband called the NVC to ask if they received I-130 they said they can't find it but when he ask

about the I-129F they said "we literally received it today". What I think the I-129F arrived first...confusing..

Ok, thanks. That makes at least the fourth example of an I-129F petition arriving ahead of the I-130 and getting through, with no plausible explanation I can think of except that USCIS is holding the I-130 so they don't arrive together. It's a long running ####### for tat between Homeland and State.

Would you be kind enough to contact NVC again and ask for their receipt dates for each petition and report back. It would really help in understanding whether USCIS is now forwarding the petitions separately.

Thanks in advance.
