strange situation...

helloo,

I asked a similar question udner CR-1 section earlier, but this one is more related to AOS proc. Basically, my wife's interview is on August 23 , 2007 for K3 visa. Now yesterday, I got some papers from NVC (AOS fee bill + choice of agent for CR-1). Somehow, ( I did not file I-824) my I-130 got forwarded to NVC and also assigned a new case number. Now when my wife comes to US on a K3, can we do AOS if the I-130 is at NVC and has case number assigned..?? does this happen to everyone..?? for AOS does it matter if I-130 sitting at USCIS vs I-130 sitting at NVC with a case number..??

I am really confused at this point. can anyone shed some light here please..??

thanks for your help in advance..!!!!!

This is normal process for K-3,

The K-3 allows you 2 options, either keep the CR-1 (I-130) in process, and either travel back to home country to interview for the immigrant visa, or just hold the K-3 visa and wait out the CR-1 visa in the home country, one member here did that, their CR-1 interview was scheduled a few errks after the K-3. They save a lot of $$ doing that in the foreign country than here.

Other option is to abandon the CR-1 visa process and adjust status from K-3 in the USA, Fee after July 29th will be $1010 to adjust status.

Continuing the CR-1 and entering the USA using the CR-1 can be much less expensive option.

Typically USCIS will recall I-130 from NVC when AOS is applied for.
