give me a break! there are people on here Smarter than you and have penty of money

and are struggling with AP/AR. the only leverage is your bringing over a female.

if the tables were turned unless you are a DR. then you will see a long AP/AR.

DRs and Nurses are high demand in the USA. there is even some kind of visa prefrence for them as well.

Hey Mates What Do u Think Involving Pakistani Foriegn Ministery Can help us?

No. they have no control over what the Embassy, DOS or USICS can do.

I would suggest contacting Ombudsman. I am in the process of doing just that.

when you do decide to seek help keep in mind.

1. has your AP/AR been longer than say 180 < business days >

congressman. ombudsman or anyone dont like to help when sitting on AP/AR.

thats why we are still in the abyss. Everyone is turning their backs on us.

the biggest concern that i have is.. the men are not getting approvals.

that really is alarming.

I forgot to add.

DOS, USICS, EMbassy each have Ombudsman.

I cant find the one for DOS. gagggggggggggg

180 Days

My I-130 was approved 14th of July, but I heard it takes really long after it is approved.

I only received the NOA2 so far, and my wife in Pakistan has received nothing.

We're waiting for the DS-320(Choice of Attorney Form)

I'd rather go with the I-129F(K3) after it is approved, since I heard it takes less time.

I just want to get my spouse here asap. I am tired of waiting.

We filed for the I-130 in the beginning of April, and we filed for the I-129F in the beginning of June.

I think the exact dates of the notices were April 12th,(for the I-130) and June 5th (for the I-129F, K3).

The I-130 was sent to CA, while the I-129F was sent to Chicago.

I can't wait until the I-129F is approved.

How long does it normally take for the spouse to receive the K3 visa after the I-129F is approved? Hafiz said two months. Is that correct? I heard it was like 3 weeks...

How long do most I-129F(K3 Visa) take to get approved? It's been two months for me and counting.

if you already paid the fees for CR1, sounds like you did. this will CANCELL the K-3 visa on ya.

since your I-129f has not been approved yet. might as well ignore it. coz the embassy will.

the bottom line is whatever petition gets to the embassy first will be the one she come on.

since the Cr1 is likely to reach the embassy. the K-3 will fizzle and burn. so keep persuing the

Cr1. even if you hold off on the fees at this point . the embassy already will know its comming.

Hiya there Adil....

Let me give you a summary of events for CR-1/IR-1 or I-130 that you just got approved for:

From USCIS it goes to National Visa Center or NVC where NVC will be assigning a case number for your petition and then you and your wife will be getting DS-3032 (choice of agent form) its waived only if you are using a lawyer. Also, in the same packet you will get a Fee bill for $70 for I-864 (Affidavit of Support form). Then it divides into 2 paths from there. DS-3032 path and I-864 path and they are totally independant from each other.

DS-3032 Path:

After sending NVC the DS-3032 back will generate IV visa fee bill for $380. After sending money order or certified check for IV visa you will then receive you DS-230 to fill out. After sending that back assuming that the review of I-864 is completed your case will be completed and will be send to the islamabad embassy

I-864 path:

after sending a money order or a certified check should trigger the generation of I-864 form. After sending it back and then them reviewing it and then receiving your DS-230 will complete your case to be send to the embasssy.

Now what you should keeep it mind is that it takes time for them each step of the way from them getting the forms and fees to move to the next step. On average it takes anhywhere from 3-6 months to get thru NVC but good thing is that people who went thru this step before you have created a lot of shortcuts that can get you some where from a month to 2 months time savings.

After your case gets to islamabad they will send packet 3.5 to your wife or the beneficiary. She needs to get the medical done and get a police certificate from the local police. In addition she will need to send the original birth certificate, marriage ceritificate, letter saying that you (applicant) have send off your I-864 to NVC and a filled out 2nd DS-230 both part I and II. After you send all this and they review them they give you an interview date.

As far as K-3 or I-129F goes as soon as its approved it gets to NVC where its send to the islamabad embassy. After it gets to the embassy they will send your wife a packet 4 which will have the interview date and a list of documents to bring to the interview. depending on how many months in advance is the embassy scheduling interviews your wife will get an interview date. from what I have seen right now they are giving out interview dates in Jan or feb 07 (someone please correct me if I m wrong since I m not that updated on the interview scheduling for islamabad).....

Please let us know if you have any more questions and we will be happpy to help you out. Also, you can also check the link in my signature to take a peek at interview experience of us.

Good Luck!
