I answered Yes... and put my name in there (since I filed the I-130 petition for my wife as the beneficiary)

I-156 is a standard non-immigrant visa application form and hence not tied directly to a K3 application so thats the reason I answered yes. We have yet to mail in ours (waiting for the documents to be sent to the consulate) so if anybody thinks thats an incorrect answer, I'd like to know.

Hey NY IZMER

Did you ever find out what happened with your retained I 130? You had the same letter I did saying the spouse was IN the US already. Did it ever get forwarded to NVC or are you just trying to go with the K3 after all? We had an appointment with an officer in Chicago and they didn't know what was happening. They thought either it was too soon for it to arrive at NVC (approved Feb. 7) or it they were retaining it in California in error, awaiting me filing an AOS as if I was already in the US. I might have to contact California Service Center or have "the consulate in Montreal try to intervene." (Like I believe they would do THAT for us..... ). Did your serice center give you any advice?

I wrote VSC a letter last week asking them to correct THEIR error but I have not gotten a confirmation or a reply just yet. As there's no phone number for VSC, I can't really check up. Unless a miracle happens, I am going to be just pursuing the K3 route and AOS after. Which sucks, because of all the extra time we'll waste, but we shall see.
