Hi Guys,

I have a Question...If I130 approve before I129.. does this mean my I129 will stop processing or both petition will be going at the same time...??

Appreciate ur inputs

Asmo

Your 129f will be processed first and sent to NVC, and your 130 will stay with USCIS.

So it means I have no choice but to follow K3?? I heard on this thread that K3 and CR1 both runs until one of each reach consulate.

Thanks

It depends on how much each peition has practiced for the race, just kidding, bro relax, it will take some time. All i can say is if you can wait for CR1 to ride through the process, it is well worth the wait.

But I heard CR1 is taking 3 or more month longer than K3. If thats the case than should be worth it to stick with K3?

Thanks

Well, after having 2dn, 3rd, 4th and 5th thought, I decided to mail DS320 from Lahore, PK. NVC usually generate letters on Monday, so I dated the cover page July 30th.

Does NVC really pay attention to date on cover letter vs. the date it generates letter in case my July 30th guess is wrong? Whats the worst can happen?

Fingers crossed........ Wish me, specially my wife, luck.

Once NVC receives DS-230, it takes them 8 to 10 days to complete the case.

Next step: Transfer the case to ISB Embassy, usually takes about a week. Then Beneficiary receives Packet 3 within a week. Packet 4, which also includes Interview date, depends if you applied for IR1/CR1 or K visa. What I have seen here in this forum, K visa applicant get interview date after 2 months. IR1/CR1 may take 4 to 6 months for interview date.

I believe medical in Lahore costs about Rs 5,000 to 7,000

Hello guys,

My wife's EAD has been rejected, please see the message below:

Application Type: I765, APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION

Current Status: Case Rejected

On August 15, 2007, we determined that this I765 APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION was not properly filed, rejected it, and mailed it back to you with all supporting materials along with a notice describing the reasons the case was rejected. The notice will also describe what will need to be done to properly submit the case.

I am trying to figure out what it can be. Someone has told me that it might be that I have sent them wrong amount or they never got the payment. I sent the money order for $180.00 for EAD, was it the right amount becasue I cant find the old fee schedule. I am so frustrated cuz I already arrange for her job but.....

Why they have to wait 2 months to realize that application was filed WRONG?

ALi

For K visa the wait is about 2 months. 4 to 6 months is for IR1/CR1 applicants.
