Packet 3 questions

[kins 0]

OK I have my packet 3 and am nearly finished filling it in. Couple of really thick questions...

OF 169 (the checklist), do I tick 9 where it says 'If you are the beneficiary of a family-based immigrant visa petition etc'. Is being a spouse a family-based petition?

DS 230 part 1, question 14, where it says Address of Spouse... here's the situation. My husband is moving to the US in two weeks, so shall I put his current UK address down, or the US address where he will be living by the time I get to my visa interview?

DS 230 part 1, question 25, list all previous visits to or residence in the US - shall I put most recent visits first? Or doesn't it really matter either way?

The packet 3 arrived 8 days after I received the I-130 notice of approval - I was pretty pleased with that. Hope others are getting on okay?

hi kins,

The I-130 is a family-based immigrant visa petition, and you are the beneficiary (if you're the non-US spouse).

If you know his US addy, and he'll be there from interview time, use that one.

Are you sure it doesn't specify which order the visits are to go in? I confess, I'm not looking it up, I just seem to remember that for some of the dated things, the top line was for most recent & work your way backward.

Woohoo! That is a nice quick turnaround.. a few people have been asking about that. How long was it from I-130 submission to approval?

Thanks for your reply...

It doesn't specify the order for visits to the USA. I think I will do most recent first, that's how I've answered the other questions on the form.

Yes I was really pleased with how quick the packet 3 arrived. The I-130 took three months to process but the whole Adam Walsh thing happened in the middle so I guess that slowed it down. I'm hoping the rest of the process is reasonably fast, because my USC husband moves from the UK to the US in less than two weeks, leaving me and our three children behind, and we're going to miss him like crazy...

I have listed all the trips I can remember. I actually filled in one of these forms 8 years ago when I went through the fiance visa process, so I copied the information from there, and I've only made a few trips since then. I've just put down the information as I can best remember... I completely forgot one trip till I got my husband to check through the form and he reminded me that we went out there for a wedding in 2005.

Fun isn't it?!
