[Eastyo 100]

Lets see some more approvals today! come on USCIS you can do it!

[PurpleBee 1]

Hey,

I'm new here at the forum. I filed my I-130 in August (PD Aug. 30th) and the I 129-F for the K-3 in September. Yesterday and Today, I got emails that my petitions have been transferred. I hope that that means that they'll reach a decision soon and we'll see some results. I haven't seen my hubby since August and am getting tired of sitting around, waiting and not knowing how much longer it'll take. But I'm not alone here, I guess.

Please help me, I got very interested by what you just wrote and I would like to ask you some questions that have me concerned.

1. After 5 months of I-129F (K3), how can the K-3 get expedited? What should we do?

2. What list of documents did you put in the K3 package? I am worried that we didn`t put all that we were supposed to...

Thank you and congratulations on your approval!

Hi,, Sorry for late reply

1. You have to called USCIS and talk with tier 2..He or She do expedite your case on the phone.

2. I do not remember exactly coz I did by attorney.

but do not worry if you forget something than they will mail you notice about missing documents.

it will take only 2 to 3 week more to process.

[Deep35472 130]

But I saw some august cases that they had the I129f too and they were transfered in a normal time is it correct? or I am wrong..how much extra time did take your case was transfered?

I was crying last night in front of the camara with my husband, it is so hard, we thought that the I129f will help!

thanks for everything, I really need some help and support

Hi,, Do not cry Sis..

I understand your feeling.

We can not judge Uscis..

I agree with you that they were transferred some I-129F cases.

But in Other side, they were some cases that did not get transferred,,

So in my opinion you should wait 2 more weeks than call to USCIS and ask them to create service request.

Before you receive NOA2, you can't call NVC, they don't know anything about you yet. All inquiries are through USCIS.

After NOA2, you can call USCIS to find out when they shipped your petition, but it's easier just to wait a couple of weeks and then begin calling NVC to find out if they've received it. I would recommend starting with NVC and only calling USCIS to find out when they shipped if there seems to be a problem. NVC is much easier to work with.

The hard copy has boilerplate text but doesn't necessarily indicate when your petition is actually shipped. You'll need to follow up with NVC in a week or two to see if they have it yet.

Thank you.

My priority date is Aug, 30th 2013. AS of today I got transferred from NBC to my local field office. So hoping to get results soon pending on how fast houston field office works. Any body else who has this date let me know your status.... Good luck

[Lisa y Miguel 62]

Awesomeness It will go smoothly havent seen my husband today six months ago ug...my i-129f wasnt transfered with my case lol funny right

yea...between that and the pregnancy its SOOOO annoying...that is funny, but hey, you don't wanna pay that adjustment of status fee anyway...tooooo much money... UNLESS we have to lol

So some of the early August NOA2 its been 3 weeks (approx) since the NOA2, has anyone heard anything from NVC about even receiving their file (I know its too much to expect a case no. yet but maybe the file has been received?)

I was transferred 2/7 and I haven't heard anything...idk when im going to start calling though..i don't want to go back to being obsessed with it...just trying to focus on my baby and working until I can't work anymore lol

Yup I was at CSC and got NOA2 on the 12th so I guess it took 6 business days (13,14,18,19,20,21) to reach the NVC. I know the 17th was a holiday but do we know if there were any snowdays in there? I don't think so?

Wow...maybe I should call then huh? lol Its been 20 days for me almost lol Although I didn't feel like its been this long..maybe all that time in the hospital made it seem shorter hahaha

Deep, do you think the I129f is the reason why I dont have my transfered yet?

I have both petitions also..i wouldn't freak out about it...MOST of them were fine....only a choice few took longer. Mine DID take longer than everyone elses, but they both went through.

Please help me, I got very interested by what you just wrote and I would like to ask you some questions that have me concerned.

Thank you and congratulations on your approval!

the k3 can get expedited by calling uscis....but chances are it'll be transferred before you even try and you need a heck of a good reason to be expedited.

my transfer came almost 6 months after my k3 pd date. patience..i know its hard.

I didn't put anything extra in my k3....they already had everything with my 130. And that was with a lawyers advice.....and many many nights of reading

But I saw some august cases that they had the I129f too and they were transfered in a normal time is it correct? or I am wrong..how much extra time did take your case was transfered?

thanks for everything, I really need some help and support

like I said..was transferred...but like 3 weeks later than the pd date of my 130...don't cry..easier said than done I know

Thanks, because yesterday i got transferred and the date changed to today lol

The date changes with every email you get lol....no one said they had any sense lol

[sohailrana23 3]

Btw are they transferring standalone I-130s from the NBC to the local field office because of the work load ? or does that mean they will interview the petitioner?

[Lisa y Miguel 62]

Wish I could answer all your questions Lisa. . However only one I can answer is.. other than gatheting all the evidence you require for the AOS and IV packages.. There isn't anything you can do other than wait for the case number.

As for the PCCs. . Find out when they will expire. If they are good for 3 months and up.. i think you should go ahead and order them..

ok ...is there a list somewhere of the evidence for those....im so...ughhhh...just ughhh lol Thank you tho

Lots on your plate, I'm sorry to hear all this As far as what to do while waiting for a case number, I would recommend assembling all paperwork ASAP except the police certificate, you can afford to wait a month or so after NOA2 before getting that one (assuming the cert is valid for 6 months, I'm not sure what the case is for DR). It'll be ~2 months from NOA2 to case number, and a few more weeks before DS-261 is accepted and IV fee invoiced, so there's no sense rushing right out for a time-sensitive document.

Plus he said he can get the PC within 2 days...so I guess im not worried about it Thank you too

my notice said local field office too but my file ended up in California (I am in Texas too) so I think local field office does not necessarily mean "Your local field office" ...just wait until you get the mail notice (it should have the service center your file was transferred to )

Thanks Lisa, I was seeing your timeline so I can have a little hope plus some girls in a latin foro told me that I should see your timeline because you had a k3 petition too, you are famous in the latin foros too

What kind of evidence have you been gathering up?

My i130 has not been approved yet but I am trying to gather some of the stuff needed too in hope that needed documents don't hold me back

I have birth certificates, marriage certificate , my tax transcripts , what else ?
