I 130 approved, I 129 STILL PENDING WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

[SumonLopa 0]

An I-129F and I-130 would not have the same case number. You reached NVC at 11PM Eastern time. Really?

That's sound unbelieveable right?? I was shocked when the automated system keep coming back on saying due to heavy calls it was routed to the Automated system again and it said call back after 6PM to till midnight Eastern Time to reach an operator so I started trying again from 10pm and finally reach one of them at 11!!! and surprised too...(I was so desparate to see the end.. ha ha ha). I already knew the Case No for I-130 when I checked the system with my EAC receipt. So when I reach operator I just gave her the info of my I-129F(MSC #) to see what went on with this... and she read me back the same number as I heard from automated system while provided the EAC#(I-130). Looking at the 1010 dollars of AOS bill and 3 months wait for green card I am now confused whether I should be more patient and continue with I-130 so that after she comes in we don't have to dill with all this fillings... and she needs to go to University as soon as possible too.... now could you please tell me if I choice to continue with IR-1, what should I do?? and if I just let you to decide (may sound funny...but just wondering about your suggestion) what you would do??

Thanks,

Hmm now I am getting worried... I am already screwed by USCIS once with my I-130 it took them 298 days to aprove my I-130 after a lot of influence by my senators, congressman and USCIS local office (Please note that I am a citizen since 2004). While the I-130 had taken so much time I filed for I-129F on March 2007... First I never tried to do any inquiry for my I-129F.... till I got the approval email on July 7. I prefered I-130 as I always want less trouble. I came to know about my I-130 approval through an email and since then constantly check the NVC system with that EAC# and on July 6 at night the automated system finally acknowledged the receipt. When I got the Approval email on July 7 I tried to check the automated system but it needs operator assistance for MSC# therefore I waited waited ...tried tried...and finally got them on 10th July at night.. and she gave me the case number ... but since you said it can't be same I am little confuse as I didn't note it just because it sounded like same numbers...therefore I am now not sure... and calling them again is a nightmare... I don't understand why don't they respond my email???

In think you should call NVC again and address the issue of case numbers. Ask specifically if your I-130 and I-129F would have the same case number. I've never heard of this. Let's verify first that you have two files at NVC and take the next steps from there.

Nevertheless, I would call them again. Now that you've given the prefixes, it sounds like you do indeed have both cases at NVC. This is probably because they never got together at the same processing center. Do you recall which processing center your I-129F actually went through?

Anyway, I found that about 11AM eastern time was good for calling NVC but you definitely need an operator for K3 cases.

Hi pushbrk, You are absolutely right about the fact that the case number assigned for I-129F and I-130 is different. I have received a letter from NVC on 07/14/07,dated 07/11/07 stating that they have received an approved I-129F and will be sending it to consulate aboard within a week and I notice the last two digit of the case number is different for I-130 I have DHK2007****27,and for I-129F it is 26. Does that mean they assigned case # to I-129F first?? I thought when they get I-129F they don't even bother with I-130... any way I couldn't talk to an operator yet... still trying... my luck is not fevoring me.

Sumon, yes, the I-129F case number is ahead of your I-130's. Since your I-129F will be sent to the Embassy before your I-130 case, I-129F's case number is ahead of your I-129F. NVC will pursue both cases, unless you tell them otherwise. When Embassy receives both cases at the same time, they can cancel I-129F and continue I-130 case. Good luck!

Sumon,

The bit about the I130 being held back is that USCIS holds the I130 back and only sends the I129F to NVC if they are approved by USCIS at the same time. Both made it to NVC and both will be processed there.
