K3 interview date, I130 at embassy too

[torteval 0]

Hi

We have just heard from London that we have an interview date of 1st April for our K3.

Last week we were told that NVC had finished with our I130 and presumably this is being sent to London too, (we have not been told this is being retained in the States). Has anyone managed to get the Embassy in London to convert a K3 interview to I130?

It would be so much better to wait for the CR1 but we dont want to go to the back of another long queue at this stage. Any ideas anyone?

You may want to contact NVC to make sure that the I-130 was sent to the Embassy. Recently USCIS and NVC have started the practice of holding the I-130 in K-3 cases, because most K-3s tend to do AOS in the states, if this is the case you may have to file I-824 with USCIS to request that the I-130 is sent on th the Embassy.

Thanks for your reply. NVC now states that our I 130 has been sent to the Embassy. So, I emailed the Embassy asking if they could be put together - what a silly move that was!

I got an immediate reply from them saying my email had been deleted.

As there is no telephone contact regarding Immigrant visas and they dont answer email how are we supposed to contact them at all?

Did your email contain attachments? I know that some government agencies will automatically delete emails if there are attachments.

Also, here's contact info for UK:

Hey.

If you want to contact the London embassy via email, you have to call first and get a reference number to put in the subject - otherwise they'll delete your email. You could try putting your case number in the subject of the email, I've heard that works for some, but it didn't work for me!

Lots of luck with the rest of your journey!
