    It's free to file an I-129f after an I-130. Best case scenario is they close the I-129f, then immediately approve the I-130 to continue. Worst case scenario, in my opinion, is they actually issue a K-3. Who would want to have to adjust status? To my knowledge, only a very, very few K-3s are still issued.

    Yes. Once you enter the US with a valid immigrant visa, CBP will stamp (endorse) the visa. At that moment, you become a legal resident (Green Card holder). Your endorsed visa then becomes a temporary, Full Fledged Green card until the plastic one arrives (or 1 year). You can immediately return to home country to tie up loose ends before returning to the US. I would not tell CBP that is your plan...but it is perfectly legal to enter, then immediately exit the US.

    I think those are a very, very small fraction of I-130s as a whole as I don't think that technique works as well for shortening the I-130 processing times as it once did. But, for those who are successful at that technique, it makes the CR-1 even faster than the average....by months.

    Filing date and date of interview is all is needed to calculate overall processing time.

    VJ data is calculated using information entered into member timelines. Error prone only if users enter the wrong dates...which I would find odd. However, sample size could come into play one way or another. I guess VJ timelines based on consulate might be helpful. Maybe I should ask Capt Ewok which dates he uses for the overall average calculations.

    The VJ reported average difference from filing to interview is 24 days :

    Sometimes, they do at Irving. Sometimes, they don't. You can ask after your interview. About a year ago, they offered for some days and not for others.

    Jan22 should see that I tagged them in this thread.

    @jan22 might be able to shed some light on this.

    If you are submitting a return, you must include every page of the 1040, schedules, etc. I would just submit transcripts. ***Moved to Removing Conditions on Residency forum****

    OK. Thanks. I am at a loss as to why they would say that. Weird. Time to contact your Senator, imo. Find your representative's web site. Many, if not all, have an immigration Laison within their office.

    Are you sure that is what it says? The current medical exam expires in early September. If it says "no earlier than September", it makes no sense to me either.
  13. Crazy Cat
    As @JeanneAdil said, contact the clinic to see if they will finish the exam soon. If they insist on a new medical exam, I would have it done somewhere else, if at all possible.

    Nope. You may or may not get a combo interview. Some of us have submitted request letters, but there is no requirement to do so. In my case, we did undergo a combo interview after requesting one during the N-400 application process. You could upload a letter if you wish.

    Very, very vague source for that refusal rate. I think those numbers are unreliable. Bottom line is that there is a history of VJ shows that more time together is better than less time together.

    In my area, DPS appoints are always are booked months out. They do open appointments on a daily basis at about 8:00 to fill any openings for that day..

    I have read that you can try to submit a notarized affidavit, but I have my doubts. Perhaps a divorce attorney could help find the official vital record. You can also get some info by Google search "How To Get a Copy of a Divorce Decree".

    Just don't pay the NVC fees or submit documents. You can delay the case indefinitely at NVC by contacting them at least once a year.

    For accuracy, the visa will expire 6 months after the medical exam...or even sooner. Expiration date is not based on visa issue date or interview date.
