Hi, yes i'm aware that the K3s get closed, that is also what im hoping for (to get a push on my I-130 and not get the actual K3 approved) However, I thought they all end up in California as it technically is an I-129F (which should be handled by California? So i'm trying to see where others K3s ended up, and the timeline from submitting to approval/denial (approval of the I-130 and denial of the I-129F).

Hi, I see that you filed a K3, would you be able to tell me which Service Center your K3 ended up in? The first 3 letters in your receipt will tell you. 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!

Hi, i'm assuming you filed for the K3 by now. Could I ask which service center it ended up in and does it differ from your I-130? The first three letters on your K3 receipt should tell you where it is. Thanks!:)
