I received the approval letter today. I had applied for an I-129F for my husband who is in Turkey.

On the NOA1, receipt letter, it states:

Case Type: I-129F - Petition for Fiance(e)/Spouse

But on the approval letter, it says:

Case Type: I-129F - Petition for Fiance(e)

Is that normal for them to drop the 'Spouse'? He is not my fiance anymore! hahah

Also, I also received the approval letter for his I-130 Petition, but something in the letter confuses me.

It states:

The petition indicates that the person for whom you are petitioning is in the United States and will apply for adjustment of status.

I looked over my copy of the petition, nowhere does it indicate that he is in the USA but that he is living in Turkey.

Why would they say that? Is it because he will be receiving the K-3 visa, come to USA, and finish the immigration process in the USA

so his petition won't need to be sent to the embassy in Turkey? That he won't need to complete the process as if he was waiting the

whole process out while overseas?

I am a little confused. Please help!

Thanks

Congratulations on the approval, that's wonderful news :)

I'm guessing the fiance/spouse thing isn't a big deal. But I haven't seen an approval, so not sure :)

As for the note on your NOA2 for your I130, that is part of the new USCIS procedure. If you have an approved I129F they presume that your spouse will Adjsut Status in the U.S., so they don't send it to the NVC for processing.

Dayna,

They might be saying that because of the I-129f petition that you submitted in parallel. In a recent change of policy, USCIS has decided to hold on to approved I-130 petitions in anticipation that K3s will adjust status in the USA rather than return to their country to apply for an immigrant visa unless specifically indicated otherwise by the petitioner. Historically, most K3s have opted to adjust status rather than go back for an immigrant visa so the new policy saves a lot of unnecessary work on the part of both USCIS and the NVC while reducing the risk of the petition getting lost in its' travels.

You have not specifically indicated that you want the I-130 to go forward to the DoS. If you want the I-130 to be sent to DoS so that your husband can apply for an immigrant visa, submit form I-824.
