Hi

I dont believe so, the transfer is just another step in a long road.

No interview before a noa2 and it has been at NVC.

Hi. I called them too and they gave me my case number. Unfortunately they assigned me to the wrong embassy. Im in Canada but for some reason they assigned me to a philippine embassy because i was born there.

How weird!

I guess you had indicated the Canadian embassy when you filed the I-130, but they got it wrong if they saw you were born in Philippines.

Hope it can be solved quickly. Keep us informed and best luck!

Will call later and see if we are so lucky.

Called CSC to hear about my I-129F has that noa2 had more info on it, but dead end.

I believe the K3 way is not viable anymore, since the I-130 was approved before the I-129.

Hope you have some good news soon as well!

Well the I-130 is not approved before it gets a case number at NVC.

But no number yet for me, but we did call right when they open, so may call them tomorrow again.

I didn't know that. I thought it was the USCIS center approving the file (and, therefore, forwarding it to the NVC for people like us, who are living outside of the US).

Good luck by the way! =)

I think that USCIS and the service centers are "only" there to look at the papers and make sure that all is there.

When they are okey with it, they forward it all to NVC that makes the final call about the paper works.

If they, as the case with me have a I-130 and a I-129F they will take the I-130 over the I-129F.

But right now they have not given me a number for either of them, so i don´t know what way they will go, but i think they will go CR1/IR1 :)

And thx.
