NOA2 for K3 and I130 issue

[Cetin Tonya 0]

Hey, I received my NOA2s for the K3 and I130 BUT the I130 says that my husband is in American and that I should now file for an adjustment of status..... He is not in America... Is this wrong or just how they word it because I am processing the K3?

Did they make a mistake on my I130 or is this nothing to worry about???

The wording was something like "your petition indicates your husband/wife is residing in the US, you should now file for an adjustment of status"....

Thanks for any help you may have... Tonya

I thought they got rid of this type of approval.

Basically just about a year ago, they started approving I-130's and I-129f's at the same time and started sending letters like that. What you got was a notice basically saying your I-130 was retained by USCIS (and not forwarded to NVC where it would've lead to simultaneously being in processed for an IR/CR-1).

So yes, it just means you're now only pursuing the K3 route and will file for AOS once your husband arrives to the states. You can call USCIS telling them they made a mistake like I did, but all you'll get is a letter in the mail 4 months later basically saying nothing of use.

For the next few steps in your K-3 filing, check my timeline and Ankara consulate information for some useful info.

Good luck

Thank you soooo much for the fast reply!!!! Okay. I thought maybe so but you know how it is only only worry all the time...

Question for you though. Your wife went for medıcal before getting the packet in the mail, this is okay? I thought we had to wait for the packet and then just before the interview go for the medical. I thought you had to have the medical just before the interview so that not much time had passed... So we could do that now???

What do you think?

Thanks again!!! Tonya

If you have gotten your case number from NVC, ( It will be something like ANK2007XXXXXX) then you can go for the medical. All you need is that number. As soon as you get that number you can also get a lot of your paperwork done in advance, DS-156 DS-157, DS-230, I-134, and send these in to Ankara about 1-2 weeks after you get that case number from NVC.

I'd tell your husband to also get his police record as that's a bit tough. And have all those translations done.

tells you what you need. You will eventually get that from Ankara, but do like we (and others) have done and send this stuff once you get them all ready.
