I130 and k3 pending need help

[Camelott 2]

ok let me try to explain once you file with uscis and you get the approval then the case will go to NVC there u have to submit more paperwork and pay fees and then once all that is done you get case complete and then the interview is schedule. For example I file both the I-130 & the K3 for my husband on March 19 the I-130 and the K3 on April 4 2013. The I-130 was approved completely on October 22,2013 the K3 was approved completely on October 22, 2013 as well, so at the USCIS stage it took 7 months. Then it went to NVC, received case number and paid the two fees and filled out the DS260 and submitted more paperwork that case was complete on February 18, 2014. My husband interview was schedule on February 28,2014 for April 21, 2014. As you can see a bit over a year all this process takes. One thing I do want to add to prepare you (cuz I was not prepared) just cuz he has an interview does NOT mean he will get visa, it seems a lot of case are being put on AP. Which is basically a hold for further investigation. My husbands and my case was put on AP, so needless to say we are still not together. This process is very difficult and you two should prepare for a wait, Im sorry I know this is not what you want to hear but it is the truth. I think you and your husband need to discuss if he will be going back to India and maybe look for a cheap place to stay in the mean time. That is what my husband is doing. This is all very trying and very stressful, it will take its toll on both of you. so talk make decisions together. If you need anything please let me know I will help anyway I can

Sorry if i say, but that was last year.

Now the USCIS timeline is 5 months. That means the from noa1 to noa2 must not be over 5 months (usually 3/4 months).

So atm the total timeline is much less than 1 year. (FROM noa1 TO the visa on your passport)

i am really upset as i saw many i 130 and k3 filled in march 2014 and feb 2014 but approved already in april .what is this all about? k3 is meant to get the families together while i 130 is pending than y it also takes longer? y k1 is so fastest?

I am totally agree with you-

K-3 MUST be much faster than K-1.

K3 is a family that get back together.

K1 is just for to engaged ppl usually without sons/daughters.

Hi there,i m us citizen got married in January 2014.My spouse was in USA on b1 b2 multiple visa when we got married.Due to his job commitments he had to go back to Dubai.I applied for i130 in feb and k3 in march.Now both are pending.My problem is that my husband work visa is expiring in june.We applied the consulate as Dubai consulate for interview purposes.Now if his case doesn't get approved by may then its gonna b hard coz then by june he has to leave Dubai coz thts the law there.I dont know how he will take care of his interview stuff.Please help

Q22 on I-130, right? We applied the consulate as Dubai consulate for interview purposes

You can get that rehomed at NVC, during the Visa Application process, once the I-130 and I-129F make it over to NVC, after approval at USCIS. Takes a telephone call with a supervisor.

i agree. yes it was NOA2 but when i phonned the uscis office they said right now TSC is processing sept 30th 2013 cases then how these 2014 march and feb cases got approval? i dont get it. And i m really sorry for wat u goin through.its so hard being alone. I came to know nw a week ago that i am pregnant.My husband has multiple b1 b2 but he doesnt want to be turned away,he recently was here few months ago when we got married in USA.so he stayed for lil over 2 months.so he wants to come stay for a month but i knw it might not b a good idea

please restudy the I-797 formletters that you received.

I am betting that there are only 2,

where the first one is the receipt notice for the I-130 and

the second one is the receipt notice for the I-129F.

Receipt notices are NOT approval notices.
