Sumon

Did you ever figure out which petition the NVC has? I remember you saying that when you called, they gave you the same case number for both the I130 and the I129F. If they are processing the I129F and you wife will be applying for the non-immigrant visa, she must pay the non immigrant visa fee at or before the K3 interview. If its the I130, then you can become her choice of agent, and get the Immigrant Visa fee bill sent to you and pay that for her.

If they are saying it is going to Dhaka in a week, it sounds like they are doing the I129F. This goes through NVC faster, and then she will have to pay the K3 fee.

thank you

+1-802-527-4816 IS THE FAX NO FOR EXPEDITE REQUEST...REGARDLESS OF THE LOCATION OF THE SERVICE CENTER (CSC,VSC,MSC,NBC,TSC, WHATEVER)IF YOU SEARCH THE GOOGLE, WITH "EXPEDITE USCIS CASE" YOU WILL GET MOST RECENT INFORMATION. I HAD REQUESTED EXPEDITE 2 TIME AS MY CASE WAS DELAYED ...DURING THE FIRST REQUEST THE WEBSITE POSTED DATE WAS STUCK AT MARCH 12 2006. SO THEY DENIED MY REQUEST AS I FILED ON SEPTEMBER 2006 (EVENTHOUGH PEOPLE WHO AFTER ME GOT APPROVALS, THEY DENIED MY EXPEDITE REQUEST SAYING, IT IS NOT BEYOND PROCESSING DATE), THEN JUNE 18 THE DATE CHANGE DIRECTLY TO NOVEMBER 2006 AND I REQUESTED AGAIN... AND I NEVER GOT ANY REPLY TO THAT,HOWEVER AFTER INVOLVING MY SENATOR AND CONGRESSMAN MY PETITION GOT APPROVED ON JULY 3.(I TRIED ALL PROCESSES THAT WAS POSSIBLE, AND DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE WORKED) GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR EXPEDITE REQUEST...

After numerous tries I finally got chance to speak with a live NVC rep @ 11:35pm(eastern time!!!) and came to know that the case# associated with my I-129F was forwarded to consulate in Bangladesh on 07/10/07, I had sent mails to the consulate but didn't receive any response acknowledging that they have received the case.... still waiting for interview.... can't wait any longer to see my wife....I regret that I didn't file my 129F petition earlier [if I would apply I-129F on september.... my wife would be by me now!!!!..once again I never knew that I-130 approval will take 298 days for me... :( ] Any way, those of you who are still awaiting for the approval....I hope that those approvals will come soon.... wish you all the best..

Sumon

P.S: If any of you have ideas about a K3 interview, please tell me if my spouse has to pay anything dureing the interview??? any fee associated with the visa itself... None of my family member or friends had faced K3 Interview. before so I don't have any idea..
