Hi Folks,

Are you planning on returning to Nepal for the I130 interview? That's the only reason to file the I824, otherwise you could have saved the $200 and just filed for AOS since you're already done the K3.

And by the way, congrats on the succesfull interview!!! Two months from applying to final approval, you are REALLY lucky :)

Yeah! I did my paper work very well. That's what I believe.

The reason I paid $200 for I-824 is "what if consular denied K-3?", which is over now. I'll be doing AOS here.

reblet, what's the procedure for AOS, EAD, SS# if you don't mind.

Thanks

Ma and Timi,

Why?

EDIT: OK, I see you've answered that question, but it doesn't make sense to me. The reasons for denying a K3 visa are also grounds for denying an immigrant visa.

Sounds like you were worried for nothing :)

The best way to start preparing for AOS/EAD is to check out the guide:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...page=i130guide2

And FYI, K3 can't get SSN until after EAD or AOS, whichever happens first.

I thought that immigrant visa is more stronger than k-3 nonimmigrant visa. I guess I was wrong. I just spent $200.00 for nothing.

As I said in my previous thread "Can k-3 visa be denied?", Consular Officer denied visitor visa. I wasn't allow in the interview that made me so sad. I thought our fellow citizens will be helpful. They could still deny visa, I wouldn't worry as long as I could try to convience. That's the reason I was worried. I guess I was wrong as per Yodark "The reasons for denying a K3 visa are also grounds for denying an immigrant visa." I spent $200.00 for nothing.

By the way, thank you for the link.
