weird situation

[Divine Mercy 0]

I don't know if any of you will be able to help me but here goes...

July 2007 My I-130 was approved and sent to the NVC.

September 2007 I asked NVC to put it on hold for AOS (Adjustment of Status) when my husband entered the country on a K3 visa.

... K3 was murdered by USCIS because I-130 was approved already... that's another story

Last Tuesday - I asked the USCIS to pull my case out of storage and start processing for the CR1 again. They said DO NOT send in the AOS (Aff. of Supp) fee bill or the Choice of Agent form. They said they had to generate a new bill and choice of agent form.

This led me to question if they are going to change my case number. They said no.

Then I wondered, can I just send it in anyway using James' shortcuts? I thought I better wait until I get confirmation that they have pulled my file out of storage and are generating the new bill.

I got an email today saying they have pulled my case, they are generating a new bill and I should expect it to arrive in 2-4 weeks.

Here's the question (finally) would it be ok to use James' shortcuts now? Not by generating a barcode or anything like that, I already have a bill.

What would you do?

First I would call and speak to someone else to ensure that the case number is still the same. I still would wait for the information to come in the mail just knowing me I want to make sure that there are no further delays. there is one part of the Affidavit of support that cant be shortcutted (if thats a word) so you have to wait for that to come in the mail anyway. It is totally up to you on what makes you feel more comfortable. If you feel good about using James Shortcuts then go ahead, if you feel unsure then I say just wait on the mail. I know that it is difficult to be without the person you love and the father of the baby, I am in the same boat. All I know to do is pray, pray, and pray. I just have the firm belief that we will not have to wait for the length of time that they say. I know and believe that the case and interview will come so soon. In Jesus Name. I pray that the same God that grants me his favor, will grant you the same in your life and case

Thanks Mrs. I think I will wait, I'm a little paranoid that it might be different than the first one. I hope and pray the length of time is shorter too!

If I remember correctly, the bill for the I864 was $70 and the bill for the DS-230 was $380. But, since CR-1 visa numbers are a different series than K visa following the first 4 digits which are the year, I believe I would wait for the first bill and double check that the case number has not changed.

Hi Kathryn,

I am was wondering, I thought you said NVC did not return the I130 to USCIS way back in Sept. when you asked them to. Did they actually return it to USCIS to send to NRC?

Hi Kathryn,

No. In September I asked the NVC to send my I-130 back to VSC so I could process the K3. I was nervous then that they would force me to take the CR1. They told me that it is "common procedure" for the NVC to hold the I-130 in their storage until my husband comes to the US on his K3 visa and applies for AOS the UCCIS will request the I-130 to be sent back to them. Until then, the NVC will hold it.
