See...and my lawyer suggested it. Lol...I need an interview in early march to get back before birth. Highly doubtful

I already did contacted my senators office last night begging lol. I contacted my congressman in october just to clarifiy something about my case that worried me. I had a representative reply to me and said i should be approved before april she said that if im not shes gonna help me out so my pd date is august 29 im at one month and a little over a week i would start contacting them when it hits 7 months for the rest of you who have priority dates a few weeks before me. I-129f for a k-3 visas is meant to unite families faster while waiting for the i-130 i did mine as soon as i got my firts letter about the i-130 do i think it will work maybe slight chance. It doesnt hurt to try but if your i-130 has been pending over 3 months whats the point.

And now that youve reminded me....my congress woman never even responded.

There seems to be quite a few July filers being approved out of CSC........ my guess is that they are doing a few late ones to get the average time town when they report their stats.... this is the only real explanation I can think of as to the sheer non-sensical processing methods!

Something to keep in mind. The Supreme Court struck down the DOMA laws on June 26th. This means that every gay couple who had been waiting for years to file their paperwork (like me and my wife) probably did so in July. I know our lawyers were so overwhelmed with clients wanting to file their applications that they had their own backlog, and I'm using one of the largest same-sex marriage immigration firms in the States.

Not trying to burst anyone's bubble, but maybe it can explain why things are more delayed for us August filers. Add the expedited applications for those caught in the typhoon, and we're looking at a big 'bump' in the timelines at our end.

So you think August will be 9 months, or longer? It doesn't bode well for the May 5 month target!

The target my wife and I have set for ourselves was to be back in the USA this summer. I'm still hoping for that one.

[Eastyo 100]

Does anyone know the total timeline for a K3 visa?

Can I also file an i129 if I have a pending i130 filed?

What's your PD? That's a great target, that's approval in 7 months and 3 months at NVC? ours is early September, 9 months away!

I see you are in the UK? Do you know much about the speed of the embassy

in offering interviews? I hear if your ultra flexible they can be very quick?

[Eastyo 100]

I'm thinking if the next update is garbage, with no real improvement, we send a letter!

I'm happy to help put it together, although I would probably use the template of the one before, however

I would need help from someone who understands the system/timelines etc more....

Our PD is Aug 7th. We figured it would be about year from 'start to finish'. Our lawyer had a much more optimistic timeline that's already been passed.

The only thing I've heard about the embassy is what I've read here. We're flexible, so I'm hoping to get in sooner rather than later once that stage hits us.

FYI if I were you, I would be prepared to wait till April 10th (Unless you get CSC, which takes 30 days less) just to get i-130 approval

Why April 10th?. To be honest I would take early April is i knew it was going to happen. I would love to see it by mid March thought. (i am 22nd Aug so a few weeks behind you guys)

To be honest, I am ok with a year, but we just don't know if it will be. I see people writing that i130's are 10-18-16-7 and 9 months, so i guess we just dont know.

What did your lawyer say? Mine said a year, but maybe 14-15 months in total.....
