What is the current consensus on I-130 question 22?

[Puerco 0]

I have searched the archives on this and am not sure I see any solid consensus on this question. At first I thought that the question did not apply to me (N/A) because my wife is not in the USA but then I read things could be delayed or they may not forward to her country if part 2 of question was left blank (FWIW, I will be applying also for K-3 and K4 for child)

I did read this: http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/PN_i-129f.pdf

Anyway, I read everything last night and remember thinking that the route that seemed to offer the most possibility or probability was to put: "Wife not in the USA" (Even though it pains me to write something in a field that they did not specifically request) and ALSO put her embassy/consulate Guayaquil Ecuador.

I realize that it may get held at the NVC if the I-129 beats it and that I "could" pay $200 and send a form (that appears to take months negating the purpose) to ask them to continue to send the I-130 abroad.

Ufff!

I just want to keep my CR-1 option alive for the longest amount of time possible before deciding (or having decided for me) whether I go CR-1 or the K-3/K-4.

As usual, I hope this made sense.

Thanks in advance,

THE PLOT THICKENS!

Wow, from the looks of things ALL immigrant visas in Ecuador are handled through Guayaquil Embassy BUT the Quito Embassy can do (at a minimum) non-immigrant interviews. (My wife resides in Quito Embassy District)

"The petitioning process is a previous step to the process of the immigrant visa. All immigrant visas in Ecuador are processed in the American Consulate in Guayaquil"

See: http://guayaquil.usconsulate.gov/https/ecu...a_petition.html

BUT

"If the applicant lives in any other province or region of Ecuador, he or she must apply for a Non-Immigrant visa at the U.S. Embassy in Quito." (FYI:She lives in Quito)

See: http://guayaquil.usconsulate.gov/general_information4.html

Interesting it doesn't specifically say non-immigrant K visa. Ok, I can see this is going to require some calls to Ecuador, this is too much to get answered here, the website just seems to vague about this.

If all this were correct it seems there is at least a chance that the I-130 would have Guayaquil Ecuador and her I-129F would have Quito Ecuador

If you read this far you are a trooper. ;-)

On our I-130 I left the left side blank since my wife is not in the US. And wrote our choice of embassy in Taiwan on the right. I think you have to fill this one out, it's where they will mail your approved petitions so she can be interviewed. Hope this helps.
