updating the timeline is not hard. Go here: http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/intro.php

Then go to the Visa Type dropdown (the fourth item on the screen after you put in your email). Switch this to K3 from CR1/IR1. Then you can enter the I130 and I129F dates.

YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!

It is great to hear we at least have one approval this week .... and Venezuela to boot.... please udate your timeline so that we can see the effect of changes....

Hey, thanks. I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to change/edit the timeline for the K3 section. Now after reading everyones stuff for months and staying quite, I've got to get it together and figure out what next....thanks. It's been crazy
