I called them last week and she said that i should call again yesterday, I think that they have an estimate date to give you ! Try to ask this question next time you call.

Thank you and Good Luck

Hi, thanks for your answer.

So, yes I called last week and they say the same thing. I ask if they have some estimate, they say that they cannot say...that need to wait the schedule...but yesterday, they told me that they are still scheduling for december...So, I will try again today, because Jeff send me the affidavit forms..and in the question 11 of the form I-134, he answer yes..and I read that this question is only for temporary visa..so, now I am worry.

I would give them more time Ali try to call on Wed.

You have your paperwork done right ? so dont worry !

Where did you read this question is only for temporary visa ?

The question is : Do you intend or do not intend to make specific contributions to support of the person ... right ?

So we answered Yes too.... so now i am confused !

My husband is going with me , no problem !

Could you send me a PM message please, then we can share trip arrangments as I am pretty nervous about that !

Abracos !!

update your timelines please...it helps bump us along

Nothing to do with anything..

I've been trying to push this out of my mind during the day. I started to become non functional which is not really an option when I have to raise my three kids and work everyday. I've been praying for peace of mind and patience which I believe God has granted however, my dreams have taken up the extra work of worrying. Every night for the last week I have dreamed of visas, petitions, USCIS, approvals blah blah blah. This morning when I woke up I almost reached for the phone to call my husband and tell him we've been approved. Thankfully I realized it was just a dream before I dialed his number! This whole thing is a real life nightmare.

I think a lot of us understand the non-functional feeling. Until I am finally with my hubby, I am just existing. Going day-to-day wishing every single one of them to just pass quickly. No one should have to wish 10+ months of their lives away before they can be happy. The only thing that gets me through is talking to Josh, but this process is taking it's toll on both of us. Our abilities to be happy and motivated have greatly diminished throughout this whole journey (but our love has remained strong). I blame it on the small amount of "highs" and the huge amount of "lows" that this process throws your way.

At this point our petition is winging it's way to the embassy and I should be really happy that the end line is almost in sight (potentially 3 months away) but I just can't muster up the feelings that should be there. It must seem strange that I have so much hope for other people's petitions but daren't have any hope for me own

Today is just one of those days *sigh*... I'm sure I'll be back to my more cheery self tomorrow

AMEN C & J!

Hi everybody !!!

2007/18/12 ....

Many hugs my friends !!!

Like some of my VJers friends said... wait and you will see both cases NOA2 coming in the mail not just I-130 like the online stated.

Thanks to The God, I have received my NOA2 for both cases

but ... I don't know how big of issue is this

the wording in the NOA2 for I-130 is different then what A & G got,

I have the exact following in my NOA2 for I-130

[The above petition has been approved. We Have sent the original visa petition to the Department of State National Center (NVC), 32 Rochester Avenue, Portsmouth, NH 03801-2909. NVC processes all approved immigrant visa petitions that read consular action. It also determines which consulate post is the appropriate consulate to complete visa processing. NVC will then forward the approved petition to that consulate.

The NVC will contact the person for whom you are petitioning(beneficiary) concerning further immigrant visa processing steps.

If you have any questions about visa issuance, please contact the NVC directly. However, please allow at least 90 days before calling NVC if your beneficiary has not received correspondence from the NVC. The telephone number of the NVC is (603) 334-0700.

The approval of this visa petition does not in itself grant any immigration status and does not guarantee that the alien beneficiary will subsequently be found to be eligible for a visa, for admission to the United States, or for an extension, change, or adjustment of status.

THIS FORM IS NOT A VISA NOR MAY IT BE USED IN PLACE OF A VISA]

I am not sure why they forwared both cases to the NVC?!!! does any wone got the same above wording?

And I have the following in my NOA2 for I-129F

[The above petition has been approved. We have sent the original visa petition to the Department of State National Visa Center (NVC), 32 Rochester Avenue, Portsmouth, NH 03801-2909. NVC processes all approved immigrant visa petitions that need consular action. It also determines which consular post is the appropriate consulate to complete visa processing. NVC will then forward the approved petition to that consulate.

The NVC will contact the person for whom you are petitioning (beneficiary) concerning further immigrant visa processing steps.

If you have any questions about visa issuance, please contact the NVC directly. However, please allow at least 90 days before calling the NVC if your beneficiary has not received correspondence from the NVC. The telephone number of the NVC is (603) 334-0700.

THIS FORM IS NOT A VISA AND MAY NOT BE USED IN PLACE OF A VISA. The K-3/K-4 nonimmigrant classification does not provide immigrant status.

To obtain immigrant status – once your spouse has been admitted to the United States in K3 status – the K3 nonimmigrant must properly file Form I-485 (Application for Adjustment to Permanent Residence). A K-4 nonimmigrant must have a From I-130 filed on his/her behalf by his/her U.S. citizen parent/stepparent and must file a Form I-485.

The approval of this visa petition does not in itself grant any immigration status and does not guarantee that the alien beneficiary will subsequently be found to be eligible for a visa, for admission to the United States, or for an extension, change, or adjustment of status.]

The above I-129F wording just make %100 sense to me

Congratulation

For your approval, what a great news this week, let it snow in green G & A

Did any of you got the above wording on their I-130, supernova got the same, and verified that it’s ok and that the I-130 will not be sent to NVC and it will be kept in the archive, while the I-129F will make it to the NVC, can you confirm if you got the same wording

The wording on my I-130 is different.

The above petition has been approved. The petition indicates that the person for whom you are petitioning is in the United States and will apply for adjustment of status. He or she should contact the local INS office to obtain form I-485, Application for Permanent Residence. A copy of this notice should be submitted with the application.

Hi Guys !!

Wintime

Both petitions having the same words like you said but just I-129F got here in the brazilain Consulate.

They made it clear the last time i called to the Consulate here .. They have my I-129F - k-3 process.

I mean I do not have these words on mine : The above petition has been approved. The petition indicates that the person for whom you are petitioning is in the United States and will apply for adjustment of status.

Myhoney + supernova and me... we have the same approval dates...lets track each other process time going forward

[Dr. A ♥ O 203]

Nothing from the June K3 Filers yet?

[Urge To Race 2]

Ok, the consulate would only have the K3 now even if the I130 was sent to NVC. NVC takes 2-6 months to process an I130 for CR1/IR1. Did you get anything from NVC for the I130? You can call NVC and use the automated system to see if your WAC (or EAC # for VSCers) is in their system for the I130. There is the DS3032 (choice of agent) that goes out to you and your spouse. There is the 2 fee bills (affidativ of support and iv fee) that you would get after that.

Like some of my VJers friends said... wait and you will see both cases NOA2 coming in the mail not just I-130 like the online stated.
