No. K3 is already obsolete and it was only meant for spouses of US citizens.

Your husband will file i-130 for you. You will be under the F2A category (Spouse of Lawful Permanent Resident).

Read the I-130 instructions: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=16aa3e4d77d73210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=16aa3e4d77d73210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD

USCIS especially CSC is moving fast now. April 2013 F2A filers have already received NOA2 approval.

Check your case status here by entering your USCIS receipt number: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis

what do you mean F2A visa? how long it will take?

You belong to the F2A category (Spouse of a Lawful Permanent Resident).

How long it will take will depend on the upcoming Visa Bulletins. But normally it will take 2-3 years.

but our lawyer said it will take 1 year to 6 mos? how does it true?

what do you mean receipt number of what?

I'm not sure what your lawyer is saying. You need to clarify that with him.

USCIS receipt number can be found on the i-797c Notice of Action form. USCIS mails it to the petitioner after they have accepted the i-130. Go ask your husband.

diamond member what is the meaning of NOA1 AND NOA2??? ANSWER PLEASE! thank you smile.png

Notice of Action 1 (NOA1) is simply a notice that they received your I-130 application. Once your I-130 application is approved they will send you NOA2 ( approval notice of action).

"Have faith in God, Jesus answered. I'll tell you the truth. if anyone says to this mountain, Go, throw yourself to the sea, and that does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen. it will be done for him. Therefore I'll tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours" (MARK 11:22-24)

Tutz01, your lawyer could be right. Since there are fewer applicants under the F2A category these days, more VISAS are available. Therefore, the wait time should be considerably shorter. Some petitions are being approved within 2 months whereas it used to take 2 years. ~~~~
