Not sure what's happening!

[andy2006 0]

Ok, this site is amazing and helpful I've spent days reading through old messages. Still not sure I've exactly found what I'm looking for, or if I have maybe I haven't realised it.

Began my k3 visa process December 2006 and hoping to have it all finished soon, my paperwork has been forwarded now to the London Embassy about 10 days ago so hope to hear from them soon. However my I-129F form is still being processed in the USA. (my I-130 was approved a while ago) So I don't understand? Will I have to wait for that before I hear from London? Or is this the CR-1 application. (Confused )

Also as I've filed my Affidavit of Support forms to the USA do I still need to take these with me to my interview in London?

Thanks for any help!

Your I130 approved and not the I129F? Well if the I130 is at the embassy, i am sure your husband will receive his packet 3 hopefully within about 3-4 weeks. ( my husband received his about a month after being at the embassy) I dont know how long it takes the london embassyto mail it out. Your husband will need the affidavit of support papers at his interview. Just becareful about the date, these forms do expire. If this is correct about the I130 at the embassy, then yes, this is the CR-1. Good luck with everything.

If your I130 is at the embassy (meaning you have completed the NVC processing and paid the IV fee bill, etc.), you are headed for a CR1. Even if the I129F is approved and forwarded to the embassy, you really can't do a K3 anymore. The embassy would cancel it since they already have your I130. The CR-1 is a better visa anyway (your spouse will get a green card shortly after arriving, SSN, etc., no need to adjust status which means paying $1010 and waiting for USCIS to process another petition).

For CR1, the packet three equivalent comes from NVC, so only the "packet 4" with interview appointment letter etc. will come from the Consulate. Of course, you've already submitted the I-864 but the Consular Officer may want to see one more up to date, depending on how long ago you sent yours to NVC. I'd have a fresh one with fresh pay stubs if I were you. If your 2006 tax return wasn't included already, bring that too.

Thak you for your replies they've been a great help and very good news I'll be very glad if it's the CR1 visa now and not the k3.
