Following your advice, we filed ours this weekend  They will receive it today at the lockbox. Our PD is Sept 21st 2018... We also have our senator and congressman checking on our case. Maybe some of this or a combination of all will make things move forward. I’m getting pretty drained from the separation and back and forth.

We expedite our case but denied frm uscis now we fwd expedite  letter to senetor 17june 19.but still no response.can u tell me how much they will take time

NOA2 happened officially June 26, 2019. I actually got it out of the mail on Sunday. I checked my mail 5:30ish Sat evening and nothing (my mail usually runs 1pm-3pm). For some crazy reason I checked my mail maybe for the first time in my life on a Sunday and there it was! 🎉🍻🎉🍻🎉🍻🎉

You're only 3 days after us and our official approval was 5 days ago. I'd definitely do whatever you need to inquire with USCIS. I'd have your mom or mother in law or whoever that called before go on as you. They won't know the difference. They asked me the inv#, my date of birth, the NOA1 date. I think that was it. 

Yes I called but lady wasn't so helpful

This is promising. In an attempt to benefit from this also, we've recently submitted our 129-f (pd of june 17), while our i-130 pd is only dec 31 2018, so I hope this pattern holds, since hoping for a performance improvement at Nebraska is unrealistic.

Our NOA1 is Dec 21, 2018....maybe we should give the K3 a try too. I going to visit my husband in about a month, so if i send it now maybe we can get lucky and get an approval while I'm there by our anniversary...i can dream lol

Well, exactly - learning about the time it took @Devon&Sandra's petition to be approved has really lifted my spirits - we can always dream.

I was just reading the instructions for the K3 and it asks for passport photos of both of us...how do you get that when your spouse is in another country? I don't remember having to send them for the I130.

If I remember we send passport photos for our I130 .

the  solution to have your husband picture could be for him to go somewhere to have new ones and ask the photographer to put a copy  on a USB key like that he can email to you and you print it 

[Michael_194 24]

You guys are mistaken go to uscis and look under i-129 and then special Instructions. Hopefully you all take from this.

 

All you need is  copy of nao1 and marriage certificate. NOTHING ELSE whatever extra you want to add sure.

I spoke to one that was very nice and one that was a freaking #######!!!! but she eventually put me through to an officer/tier 2 person and they are the one that helped me. The tier one had no info at all.

Good luck to you but I wonder if this makes any sense if you are living together abroad? K3 visa purpose is to bring the immigrant spouse quicker to US to live with their US citizen husband/wife

We don’t live together abroad. My husband is in US, I am in France. 

As the sponsor, I’ll have to repatriate to the US to establish domicile, get a job, etc.  Being a mother, our son will also come with me. The K3 is meant to minimize time a family spends apart during the visa process. It’s really applicable regardless of where the citizen spouse is.

 

I feel for all of you in newer marriages, where you’re apart. My husband and I were long distance for just about 2 years before we decided to live abroad together.  Of course as time goes on, your lives become even more intertwined, you may have children, etc. and it certainly doesn’t become easier to be separated.

https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/files/form/i-129finstr.pdf    

On page 11 of 14 of the Instructions item 9 states the following... 

Quote

9. Evidence for Petitions to Classify a Spouse as a K-3 Nonimmigrant In addition to the evidence described in Items 1. - 5. above, you must submit: A. Form I-130. Submit evidence that you filed Form I-130 on behalf of your beneficiary; and Form I-129F Instructions 11/07/18 Page 12 of 14 B. Marriage Certificate. Submit a marriage certificate, issued by the appropriate civil authority, showing your valid marriage to the beneficiary

Quote

5. Photographs You must submit one color passport-style photograph of yourself and one color passport-style photograph of the beneficiary taken within 30 days of filing this petition. The photos must have a white to off-white background, be printed on thin paper with a glossy finish, and be unmounted and unretouched.

Careful in how you instruct people if you did it wrong, and it worked out that's great. It was still wrong either way and you got lucky.  


To get passport photos of your loved ones from another country it's simple. Download a passport photo app on the app store (android or ios). Save the photo. Send it. Have it printed at walgreens/cvs or photo place on a 4x6 make sure you follow the passport photo requirements. It will cost you 33-50 cents to print. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/requirements/photos.html   If you're paying 5-15 dollars for 2 photos you're doing it wrong
