K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhen should I start k3 visa processing

I would go ahead and submit it now. Get it started and then file online or call to change your address. That is just my opinion. I moved shortly after filing, and I got a confirmation of my address change soon after. Best of luck on your journey! star_smile.gif

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI want to know what happens after the i-129f is approved and sent to NVC!

 

Okay, im going to call tomorrow and see what they have to say. Do i have to wait the 60 days for the k3 visa packet to be sent to the consulate in mexico?

 

 

Thank you for your help, I see that a lot of people are at the same page so it makes me stronger :)

are you talking about the I864? and the papers that go with that? If so, those papers will be sent to NVC after you have paid the fees online for them. (you need your case number and an invoice number to do this) Once completed with the NVC the approved papers will then be sent to the consulate by NVC. 

Here is a link that may help you. http://www.visajourn...rs-august-2014/ you can also view others timelines as well!  :star:

and this site is great. there are a lot of others going through the same thing. It helps to have the VJ support system!

Like NLR says..2 weeks up to 8 weeks..

If you want to call to see if they received your package, you can, they may not have your case number ready yet, but they can verify they received your packet.

I would call each week until you get a case number.  For me, I got a letter stating about my I129f was being closed after my I130 was sent to NVC.

Since both were approved, they will close the I129f and continue with the I130. NVC is backlogged now and are telling people the time may be longer than 30 days to get your case number.  The normal processing time at NVC right now is 60 days.

USCIS Service CentersTSC!!

star_smile.gif  I am only speaking for myself, I do not know of anyone else's situation, I have received texts in the afternoon, and I also have received them as late as 1am my time! I guess the time varies depending on when the information is available from USCIS to send. Best of luck with your journey! star_smile.gif


HettyandSaidFemaleMorocco2013-07-26 20:04:00
USCIS Service CentersSent I-130 package July 4th and still nothing

I would definatly call as well. It has been 30 days.  You should have heard something by now.  It only took 4 days for me to hear something.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Is taking a persons passport a good thing?

I have to agree with apple21.  If the US embassy took his passport, that is a good sign for you! Hopefully the AP wont last too long after they get the papers! Good Luck!! star_smile.gif

Mexico, Latin & South AmericaIs DCF still available in Bogota?

I found this when searching online, but to be sure you may want to contact your embassy directly. Here is the link, and under the link this is what I found. 

http://www.usaimmigr...Fcountries.html

 

Colombia: (U.S. Consulate in Bogota has advised that as of July 01, 2003, they no longer accept DCF in routine cases. In unusual circumstances, they may still accept some cases. Contact theConsulate in Bogota for further information.)

 

Hope that helps you, but like I said. I would contact them to verify. Best of luck on your journey!

 


HettyandSaidFemaleMorocco2013-09-04 14:48:00
Mexico, Latin & South Americacash or debit card

I would check with your bank. I had to go to my bank to give authorization to use my card out of the country. They asked what country and how long I would need it for. I never had a problem using my card... just the fees that went with my bank and the currency exchange rate that were added on!

National Visa Center (Dept of State)30 Business days and now 60 days

I was told it was 60 BUSINESS days by the person I talked to. I am hoping it is 60 days and not business days!! This seems like a never ending process, and I am going crazy!  :clock:


HettyandSaidFemaleMorocco2014-08-05 00:05:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)25 business days for nvc to get the approved petition ?

NVC told me on the phone 2 weeks ago that due to the volume of the petitions coming in it could take up to 60 days. It will show they have received the packet, but it does not mean they have gotten to it.  They are very backlogged right now. My question to them was about my response to an RFE..would it take that long?. They said ALL mail. They are swamped. I am hoping they are able to get some relief or hire some people to help with the extra case load!

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionCover Letter for Packet 3

the best way to make a cover letter is to list everything that you have included in the packet. Also make sure to have your names and case numbers on it.  I have read many things here too, Some say send one, some say you don't need it. I would rather have one and not need it, then for that to be the reason my case is held up! I would also sign it at the bottom as well as the date you are sending it.  Best of luck!

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionfriend visitation from Morocco to U.S

There is such a thing. just search "invitation letter for B2 visa" and you will find many examples. I was told by the Embassy in Casablanca that I needed to send him one if he filed for a B2 visa.  But that was before the procedures changed August 19, 2013. So they may not require the letter now. I just stated from personal experience. 


HettyandSaidFemaleMorocco2013-11-18 16:20:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussionfriend visitation from Morocco to U.S

it is very hard to get a tourist visa from Morocco. he would have to prove strong ties to his country that he will return there, such as a job, money in the bank, property, etc. even with strong proof he will return, they do not always grant it. you also need an invitation letter to show you are inviting him to come to the u.s. as a visitor. best of luck! 


HettyandSaidFemaleMorocco2013-11-18 00:22:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussionregarding interviews

As the others have said... you have to have an interview to get the visa... just a heads up... the Casa embassy is a tough one make sure to have everything ready and lots of proof!

We have a similar date. My Noa1 was May 10.  MSC is The national benefits center. If you fill in your timeline it gives you an estimated time for when your case can be adjudicated.  Right now mine is saying between November 28 - December 12 as possible time to get NOA2.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsThe unfairness of it all

I know the waiting is hard.  But with everything I have been reading lately... we should start seeing some movement in october with the service center (NBC) saying  september 28 is the day that they will start things moving with i 130.  I have not been waiting as long as you, I have been waiting 4 months..soon to be 5 and I have braced myself for a long wait.  With our husbands being from where they are, it will be a longer wait, and pray that we do not get put into AP.  I have a friend who has been approved, but then put in AP for 6 months and still waiting for visa. If anyone else knows more, please chime in! Best of luck, and I hope it goes faster for all of us when they start up next week!

I don't know if this is happening to you, but I just got a 3rd update on my case that it was transferred to another office. It said first that it went to another uscis office, then it said my local office, now today it updated again that it went to "a uscis" office. Does yours still say your local office?! I just want ONE office to review my case! lol
