US Immigration from Norway

Hi everyone,

I m looking to hear from anyone who has attempted to expedite their I-130 petition for a spouse through a senator or congressperson. Were you successful in your request?

If you were, I d love to know how the process went did the senator or congressperson seem helpful? How long did it take to get an update, and what was the outcome?

For those who weren t successful, I d also appreciate hearing about your experience.

Did you feel like the senator s office provided support? Were there any specific hurdles you faced or things you wish you d done differently?

It s been hard to find real stories about this process, so any details you can share would be incredibly helpful.


Thank you!:)

Hi everyone,

I recently applied for a K-3 visa, and the first step was filing the I-129F petition with the lockbox. From my research, it seems that all I-129F petitions should be processed at the California Service Center unless there are specific circumstances like Adam Walsh Act (AWA) flags or criminal backgrounds, which we absolutely do not have.

However, I just received my receipt, and it shows that my case is being processed at the Texas Service Center (SRC). I m confused because I thought all K-3/I-129F cases went to California unless there were AWA-related issues.

Am I misunderstanding the K-3 and I-129F processing flow? Has anyone else experienced their case going to Texas instead of California or any of the other Service centers? If so, any idea why this happens?

It would be helpful to hear about your experiences where your K-3 case ended up and the first three letters of your receipt (mine is SRC Texas Service Center).

Thanks so much for any insights!

Hello - I know it might be something I should just call USCIS about, but I thought I'd try here first.

In July 2020 I sent in an I-129F for my now ex-husband and it was approved in February 2021. He was Russian and there were issues with cases even getting sent to any embassies at that time, so we decided to just get married in Russia and I moved there. I never sent anything to USCIS, NVC or the consulate/embassy withdrawing my approved petition. Well...now four years later I find myself in another relationship with a man from Norway and we were thinking about trying the K1. I saw on the application that you have to put your old case number and when you filed, and I did find this online through my old USCIS account, but the status still says approved. Do I still need to contact USCIS to withdraw the petition? I figured after four years it would have just expired and been removed from the system.

Thanks!

Hi. I just have a few questions regarding my AOS and DS-3025. I recently came to the US with a K1 visa and got married in november. A couple of days ago I mailed my I-485 and I-765. However, I did not put a copy of my DS-3025 nor a I-693 as I thought I didn't have to. The reason I thought I didn't have to, is because I did a medical exam abroad in august and the CBP took my package at entry and I assumed all the medical paperwork would be in there. But yesterday I read online that they require a I-693 either way, and I'm worried that the DS-3025 is not in the package that the CBP took from me at entry.

Is my I-485 gonna be denied because of this? or are they gonna send me RFE for I-693 plus my DS-3025? Any tips?
