[Ryan H 3,812]

what is driving me nutts is WHY DO THEY WRITE SOMETHING ON THE WEBSITE AND THEY DO STH TOTALLY OPPOSITE TO IT? "Can i have my spouse in the US while she has a pending request?" SPOUSE: means WIFE..and why do they advise stuff that would destroy and delay!!!!

The K3 still appears on the USCIS website as a viable option because the provision in the LIFE Act that created the visa in the first place has never been repealed. Therefore, the K3 officially remains on the books even though it is obsolete in practice. Additionally, administrative closure of the K3 occurs at the NVC, a State Department agency, USCIS is not involved in State Department policy and planning.

actually it did not cost us more money.. it is like dependent on the IR1/CR1 so we did not pay anything more.. the idea is not with paying more.. the idea is with the fuss it made! they have to be more precise and accurate and explain everything not just throw words without explaining anything or explaining it in a way that people understand and they mean sth else!

Your husband can put in a service request and he can also call the USCIS and talk to an ISO (tier 2 human) vs the first person who answers the phone who is a CSR and cannot help him the way he needs to be helped. He needs to dig a little deeper. I think they are working on cases around your timeline right now so you may receive something this month but it doesn't hurt for your husband to call and ask. Best of luck to you!

It's an indication that your thread was moved from the "Process & Procedures" forum to the "Progress Reports" forum.

on the USCIS website in the spouse section; there is sth written below: Can i have my spouse in the US while she has a pending request?.. the answer was yes by doing the I-129 K3/K4 visa type while you are already doing her the IR1/CR1.. and when he called the USCIS an agent told him the same so he did it.. we noticed a delay in our case and whenever we call anybody he just says next week and next week.. so few days ago he's been to the Immigration office in Cincinnati and they told him that everything was smooth until you applied for the fiance'e visa (I-129) on September.. my husband told them that he did not do it cz he wanted to, he was trying to get me to the states faster and an agent at the USCIS has advised him to do that.. so the guy at Cincinnati told him that they are trying to consolidate 2 files under one name and that everything is going good and he thinks it won't take too long and that if he hadn't done this move i would have been with him in the states now and that he should write a letter to explain his case to VSC..

You have an I-129F in play, with a receipt notice in September?

Yes? No?

If Yes, then your calendar is shifted back to September - forget about anything occuring in May 2012 with the I-130 submittal,

as

When an I-129F is submitted, the I-130 is yanked out of it's place in the queue, joined up with the I-129F,

and

the two casefiles now have a place in the queue based on the date the I-129F was submitted.

So, IMO, you're going to wait 6 months from the I-129F receipt date, not 6 months from the I-130 receipt date.

A nice caveat MIGHT be - the I-130 was pulled to join with the I-129F in September, and all was sent to MSC.

So, call USCIS, get an ISO (see ISO - http://www.dhs.gov/files/publications/gc_1305658440339.shtm ) and ask what's up.

(The USCitizen Petitioner must call, inquire)

Alas, USCIS thinks a K-3 is a viable visa, where NVC thinks it's NOT a viable visa.

my husband has been to the immigration office in cincinnati and the guy told him that the I-129 application made the delay and that it's been 2 months for them cosolidating files and our goal was to speed up the process as it is said in the USCIS website at the spouse section...: you can have your SPOUSE in the states if she has a pending request.. so the officer asked him to send a letter to VSC so as to explain the misunderstanding and he told him that they are almost done and everything is ok and that it should not take too long.

[Darnell 8,478]

I'm sorry, but the officer's response , send a letter to VSC so as to explain the misunderstanding and he told him that they are almost done and everything is ok and that it should not take too long. is laughable.

That officer, on that one part, was clueless.

Please remember, 5 years ago, this 'get here faster' thing was a viable option.

Today, it's not. Indeed, filing an I-129F after filing an I-130 delays the casefile processing at USCIS - something you have learned firsthand, recently .
