April K3 Filers

[neenuh 0]

Now how about Neenah and Feelick. Their I-130 arrived the same day as Manu's. Hopefully their NOA1 arrived already!!

oh gawd, i swear i dunno what's going on

feelicks has been calling the USCIS and our name's not in the system yet

so we decided to contact moneygram to at least find out what happened to our money order

lo and behold the money order was encashed last may 18

now what?

it's bad enough that we've been waiting for 8 friggin weeks

and we have to wait some more

we don't even have a clear statement that our papers are with USCIS

either california service center sucks or california service center sucks

either way... california service center sucks

damn you murphy, leave my husband and i alone!

*shakes fist*

So sorry to hear that. It has been way too long. My only two suggestions would be to try and get a copy of the money order to get the receipt number. My other suggestion would be to make an infopass appointment as quickly as possible.

Maybe someone else will make a suggestion.

I received an email stating that the I-129F was sent to California yesterday.

Anyone else with news?

[Catou1181 0]

Still no news on our I-129f. We sent it June 1st and have not received the NOA1 yet, the check wasn't cleared and got no emails concerning our petition. It's a bit frustrating because in the past months, people have been getting their NOA1 in about 7-10 days and we are at 13. Okay so it's not dramatic, but still it's frustrating. I'm just hoping it doesn't take a month like it did the NOA1 of the I-130

It does get frustrating comparing your timeline with others. I hope you get your NOA1 soon.

My example is that I was comparing our timeline with another VJ member that had their I-130 packet arrive one day sooner. The difference grew from 1 day up to a difference 12 days.

The timeline is a comparison only. Each couples journey is different.

Hi All,

I just talked with a USCIS cust service rep about my I-130 application that I sent on April 21,2007. Since I have not received the NOA1 nor my check has been cashed I wanted to find out the approximate time it would take for me to receive any kind of info from USCIS. She said, that the California Service Center is running a little behind due to overwhelming H1 visa applications. This has considerably slowed down the K-3 visa processing. However, she indicated that I should check back with them after June 15. If I do not receive any notice by June 15, then they will provide me a "non-receipt referral". The non-receipt referral basically provides information regarding the filing if the filing can be confirmed.

So for all the K-3 filers out there who sent in the I-130 in late April and have not received any NOA1 or check cash confirmation, please do not panic. Give yourself another 2-3 weeks and then call USCIS at 1-800-375-5283.

Thanks!

any news on your NOA1?

I NEVER did receive my NOA1 for the I-130. I did have a receipt number from the cashed check. I went ahead and filed the I-129F last week on 6/12 without the I-797( sent a copy of the Status Report, and copy of the cashed check), and I just received the I-797C NOA1 for the I 129F today! Yea!!

So if you have a copy of your Status Report that shows the case number, it looks like you can go ahead and file the I-129F, and you don't need the actual I-797 for the I-130.

[edp333 9]

Great news iray. This should help other members continue on with their k3 journey.

It appears the next step is to get the I-797c for the I-130 before it is needed futher down the line.

you folks have patience

[Urge To Race 2]

Anything new guys? Anyone get to pending status at CSC for 129F after their transfer. I think edp333, you had yours sent last week?

[Catou1181 0]

check was cashed but no noa1, and the file number is not working in the uscis system

[edp333 9]

I had the same problem and called USCIS. The number on my check was one digit different from my actual wic/case number. If you are more patient than I am you can wait for the NOA1 to arrive by snail mail.

@ Urge To Race. I just received a pending at CSC at 7:45 PM tonught.

Congrats... your really moving now.

Thank you.

It is time for some good news from other VJ members. Anyone else with good news?

This is an invitation to anyone who filed a K3 in or close to April to post on this thread. It seems that many of us who have filed in April are having delays with checks being cleared and receiving a NOA1. I think it would be helpful to keep each other updated with concerns or activity on our visa applications.

I plan to call USCIS within the next two days because it will be 30 days since my packaged arrived without my check clearing or receiving a NOA1.

Are you really an April filer? You didn't send your I-129f until late May. Are you not a May or even close to June filer?
