Mei wen ti. The additional information was received by the USCIS on April 27, and the I-130 was approved today, May 4, 2007...just a week later.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK-3 RFE's
Citizen, In my case, I received notification via email from the USCIS that they had received my response to the RFE within two days of them actually receiving it (I sent it Priority Mail with confirmation, so I knew when they received it).

Are you signed up with the USCIS to receive email notifications? If not, sign up.

All the email said was that they had received my response, my case was now active again, and I should hear back within 60 days. However, I expect to hear back from them within 2 or 3 weeks.

Good luck!

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK-3 RFE's
I have seen threads on the K-1 visa topics about RFE's. I want to start one here for those of us applying for the K-3 visa for our spouse, and hopefully help others avoid potential pitfalls and delays.

My spouse lives in China. I am in the USA. We first applied for the K-3 using form I-130. The instructions say wait until you receive the I-797 Notice of Receipt before then sending in the Form I-129F. That was my first mistake. I received Form I-797C and waited a few weeks for the Form I-797 until calling the USCIS and finding out there was no Form I-797 to expect. I had already received what was needed. 4 weeks wasted! My mistake.

I then sent in the I-129F to the Chicago office as instructed, only to have it sent to the Missouri office and then back to the Vermont office where I initially applied. Does anyone know why the I-129F is instructed to be sent to the Chicago office? Another couple of weeks wasted.

Then came the RFE. With our application we mailed in a copy of her divorce decree, with a certified English translation and a copy of our marriage certificate with a certified English translation. The problem was that they had apparently not been notarized by a Chinese government official. (To me, both appeared official, with government seals and signatures of the officiate.) With the RFE I was requested to send in 2 (TWO) notarized copies of each document, with another certified English translation.

With the original application of the I-129F we also sent in the G-325A Biographical Information for each of us. I am not sure what happened here. When I printed it off, it was a one-page document. It is a 4-page document, each page being the same. I guess the government does not have copy machines. So, we sent in another G-325A for each of us. 4 identical pages for each of us. Also, the RFE requested another "one (2)" (sic) passport photos of me taken within 30 days of the RFE. I guess the two photos I had taken a few months before and sent in were now too old.

So my advice: When the application asks for a copy of a divorce decree (if your spouse has been married before) and a copy of your marriage certificate, ensure you send in two copies of each, and ensure they are notarized, signed by a government official, with certified English translations (if the documents are not in English). Make sure you send in all 4 identical pages of the G-325A Biographical Information, and ensure all are identical, signed and dated. If your spouse writes in a language other than English, ensure he or she signs it both in English and the native characters.

My birth certificate also was blank on the back. I just submitted a photocopy of the front page, and wrote at the bottom that the back was blank. As both our I-129F and I-130 petitions have been approved, I wouldn't worry about this. I agree with your husband, you might as well insert a blank page. Good luck to you both.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIs it worth having your state senator inquiring about your petition?
So, as you can see from the most recent response, there is no downside. These staffers enjoy helping the constituents of the elected official for whom they work. She told me she had nothing to do with being approved for both petitions in only 7 days after the USCIS received the RFE information, although my RFE receipt of information said it would take a "minumum of 14 days to process this information. If you have received no response in 60 days contact the USCIS" Okay, so they processed mine in only 7 days instead of the "minimum of 14 days". But there is no way I would have waited 60 days. This is where they can find out information that you could otherwise not find out, and they are there to serve the constituents of their boss. This is where things can perhaps be sped along, and make a staffer's day.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIs it worth having your state senator inquiring about your petition?
This is what I learned. While attending a several-day conference in Washington DC this past February, I was prepared to visit my US Congressman (US Senators and their staffers are MUCH too busy addressing upcoming legislation). While sitting at an afternoon session entitled "Effective Hill Visits", I realized my concerns were way to personal to bring out as a topic of discussion, let alone actually visit my Congressman or US Senator at his Washington DC office. Instead I waited until after the session and talked to one of the panelists.

The most effective way to get action on your petition is to contact your US Congressman at his local office in your state. Find and contact a staffer. Send in the forms that allow them to contact any government agency and ask questions and receive answers on your behalf.

There are few things they can do to speed up the process. But a few Congressional inquiries on your behalf CAN find a petition that is sitting on someone's desk, collecting dust, and get it back into the mainstream of processing. My Congressman's staffer has now called me twice in the past two months, and now that both our I-129F and i_130 petitions have been approved, will contact the NVC this Friday to ensure it is immediately sent to the US Consulate in Guangzhou, China. Then, weeks before I can find out if it has arrived, she will then contact the consulate to ensure it has arrived and is in process.

Trust me, there is absolutely no downside to your actions. At worst, you remain within the USCIS, NVC, Consulate timeline guidelines.... at best, things move along a bit faster.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-130 and I-129F approval
I am thrilled. In March I received an RFE. I mailed my response almost 3 weeks ago (April 23). I received a receipt notification on April 27. Just one week later, May 4, I received separate email notifications that both the I-130 and I-129F petitions were approved. I have no complaints. Only a question. Is it normal to have both petitions approved on the same day and just 7 days after receiving the RFE response? Or am I just incredibly fortunate?

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAnyone else with touches this week?
I received an RFE in on March 21, 2007 for our I-129F. I returned to China last month, and we got all the additional information and signatures. I mailed them in the day after I returned (April 23, 2007). USCIS acknowledged receipt on April 27, 2007. Today, May 4, 2007 I received an email from the USCIS that the I-130 has been approved. But the RFE was for the I-129F. So, is that still being processed and awaiting a response? I don't understand.
ChinaDavidMaleChina2007-05-04 16:19:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion about RFE
If you are signed up with the USCIS to receive emails about status changes, you will receive the email many days before the snail mail copy. However, the actual mailed copy is essential in giving you instructions as to what additional information is required. Also, in my case, the Original RFE letter was required as part of my response. I did make a photocopy so I have one, but I was required to mail in the original RFE letter with my response.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK-3 petitions, I-130/I-129F
This has probably been discussed many times before, but I cannot find the threads.

Last Friday I spoke to someone at the NVC and they told me that I will receive a letter and then pay a $70 fee, then get another letter, fill out the I-864 (Affidavit of Support), then pay another fee of $385 for the immigrant fee.

However, today, I received a letter from the NVC just saying that within a week the petition will be forwarded to the Guangzhou consulate and my wife will "soon" receive her packet, and what documents she must prepare. This letter referred to only the I-129F petition. Will I receive another for the I-130 petition?

Also, how does one know when the packet leaves the NVC for the timeline? Do they send another letter in a week after it leaves?

God grant us all patience and understanding.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCR-1 vs. K-3
Thanks, beckypua. I came to the same conclusion after posting my question and then coming across the new fee schedule. The CR-1 is DEFINITELY the way to go, as they are both so close to conclusion. Plus, I much prefer having the paperwork processed in the USA instead of in China. It is also much easier to get responses to questions, and you are not required to pay to talk to someone. I return to the USA in a few days and will immediately pay the CR-1 processing fees (while continuing the K-3 until we bump into the next set of fees).
ChinaDavidMaleChina2007-07-13 01:56:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCR-1 vs. K-3
I know this has been discussed before, but I am at a crossroads now. Both the I-130 and the I-129F have been approved. We have sent in the Choice of Agent form for the I-130 and it has been received and responded to. I now have a letter asking for the processing fee of the DS-230 and I-864 for the CR-1 visa awaiting me in the USA (I am in China with my wife at present).

The I-129F continues to process and her packet 3 with the DS-230-1 and OF-169 forms was mailed to her from Guangzhou on July 2 (but has not yet been received). We have prepared the DS-230-1 but must await the packet for the instructions checklist (OF-169) that must also be returned. She already has all the documents required in the OF-169, so it is just a matter of getting the packet, checking off everything on the OF-169, returning the necessary forms, and awaiting Packet 4 with her interview date.

So, visa gurus, should I continue to process the CR-1 and pay the $405 US (or whatever it is) processing fee, or should we just let the K-3 run its course as we seem only a few weeks away from being notified of an interview date?

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresFinally!
At long last, my wife has her interview for the K-3 visa on November 13. Every day we talk two times a day, and often use the word "soon", but now "soon" has a date. I go to China on November 10, accompany her to Guangzhou, anxiously await the interview results, and... being as optimistic as we are... she comes to the USA on the November 20 flight that has already been booked and paid for.

Incidentally... althought this interview is for the K-3 visa, the file for the CR-1 visa has been approved and was forwarded to Guangzhou early in September. So I have emailed the Consulate and asked that the interview be for the CR-1 visa instead of the K-3 visa as both files are there. After their Chinese National Day holiday this next week, I hope to get a response. Will keep you posted. I am floating on Cloud 9!

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCalling on our Senators and Congressman
QUOTE (seanconneryii @ Nov 29 2007, 02:11 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I had a very bad experience at the US Embassy in Moscow with what is known as the Public Liaison Unit trying to DCF. I don't hold out a lot of hope for much but I felt some accountability was called for, so I contacted my Senator. I guess the best outcome would be for the Embsasy to get chastised for their bad behavior and dishonesty to a US citizen and that my K-3 might o be expedited to some degree.

I am asking other VJers to tell me if they had any luck working with a senator or congressman. Did they help? Did things move faster? Or is it all a waste of time?

Also, I'm a little worried that the Moscow embassy might black list me and make things tough on my wife when she comes for her interview. Any thoughts or feedback?

Thanks!



I have had an aide of my Congressman intervene on several occasions, but only to seek information. I was required to fill out a form and send it to my Congressman to allow access to my wife's case records, with me as petitioner. It is similar to a limited power of attorney. They cannot, however, expedite the process. They can help find out what is going on, the status of the case, etc. I had little luck with either of my Senators. One did not respond and the other's aide send me a useless response that paraphrased (erroneously) the USCIS timelines. She did not understand the information and how it was presented. Hopefully, your Senators' aides are more responsive and better informed.

However, this same Congressman's aide was able to work wonders for me in other issues. One in particular... I had sent in my passport for additional visa pages. I did not realize how backlogged they were (the form gave one timeframe, but when I went looking for my passport, the website gave a much longer timeframe). I was running out of time to get back my passport and obtain my visa to China for my upcoming trip. I emailed the Passport Center several times and got the most ridiculous responses. Time was really running short, so I contacted my Congressman's aide. I called her early in the afternoon, and before the day was over, she had located my passport. It arrived the following day by overnight mail WITH the additional visa pages, and without me having to pay the fee for expedited processing. It was amazing.

But when it comes to visa applications, the Embassies or Consulates are seemingly in worlds unto themselves. The Congressman or Senator can ask for status, but can fix few wrongs, if any. I am on a first name basis with my Congressman's aide, we have emailed each other numerous times and telephoned each other several times. However, she can do almost nothing when it comes to my wife's visa application.

In my opinion, it is never a waste of time making a good contact at your Senator's or Congressman's office.

Hello,

My sister has been living aboard for a year now. She wants to move back to the US and is trying to get her husband a visa. Since she has been over seas she does not have an income for 2007. How much? assets does she need to show if she doesn't have a current job in the US? Someone told me it is 3times the amount of the household size of 2 which is $17,800. So the amount without assets would be $53,4000. Can this be correct?


Yes, three times is correct but there is never a guarantee that meeting a minimum standards will result in a visa. A joint sponsor is a good idea if one only exceeds the minimums by a modest amount.


For assets, it is 3x the minimum poverty level for the family size for a spouse's visa. It is 5x if sponsoring someone else. These assets must be easily convertible to cash within one year without undue financial burden for her or her family. Such assets are: Checking and savings accounts, CD's, stocks, bonds, etc. If she has any reportable income in the most recent tax year (2006), they subtract the income from the asset requirement prior to the multiple.

While I agree with pushbrk that meeting the requirements does not guarentee the visa... they accepted my Form I-134 (Affidavit of Support) without question, but we got the blue slip anyway because they wanted me to write a hand written statement about my first visit (out of 6 visits): 2 visits before the marriage and 4 visits after the marriage... they still must follow the income/asset guidelines. If not, the overcome should be no problem if the income/asset combination is well-documented and exceeds the minimum requirements. I just hope the very best for your sister and her husband and that the visa is soon issued. My wife's should be issued in the next 3 or 4 weeks..... I hope (if my hand written statement is sufficient for the overcome).

Just to clarify, the amount of ASSETS easily convertible into cash within one year without undue financial burden must be $53,400 for a spouse's visa for a family of 2 (her and her husband). Reported income in 2006 reduces this amount (there are no tax returns for 2007 yet as the year has not ended). Her husband's documented assets can also be used in addition to your sister's to meet the asset requirement.
ChinaDavidMaleChina2007-12-01 02:46:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhat to do now?
Since they seem to have no records of your application in the computer system, I suggest you write them at the address where you sent the Form I130, provide all documentation you can (a photocopy of the original I130 form), a photocopy of the money order (the front is sufficient, as it shows to whom it was made), and anything else.... and ask for an update. Explain you have heard nothing and that the application is not in the system. This is not a perfect solution, but it is not a perfect system. Eventually someone will respond. A poor response, I know, but you need to document what you have done.

Another suggestion is to write your US Congressman. During my odyssey, I have had the help and intervention several times from an aide to my Congressman. She cannot expedite the application, but she is able to find answers to questions such as yours. However, you must wait for a response from your Congressman and execute a form that gives them a "limited power of attorney" to request and receive information about your case. This will also take some time, but time well spent.

The Congressional assistance is much more timely and helpful while the application is still in the USA than after it goes to a Consulate or Embassy in another country.

Good luck to you. Don't wait any longer. You have waited long enough. Keep us posted as to the responses and your progress.

I have a copy of the cashed money order from the money order company but unfortunately we can't read anything from the back. We tried to make out the numbers but they don't work when we use them to check the status. I called the CS center and gave them my social, my name, my husband name and they can't find anything.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK3 failed interview -- Guangzhou Consulate
The unbelievable has happened. My wife was denied her K3 visa (for now) at her interview.

First, a little history. We met on-line 7/3/2006 and it was magic. We spoke every day until I first went to China to be with her in September 2006. I returned in November 2006 and we married. I have since returned in January 2007, April 2007, June/July 2007 and November 2007 (for her interview). We bought an apartment under construction in Zhanjiang, China in December 2006 with construction completed in June 2007.

We documented 648 internet "telephone" conversations by date, time, and duration. We documented 151 actual telephone calls from my telephone to hers in the 6 month period of May - October 2007. We documented DAILY internet contact from July 3, 2006 until the date I printed the documentation (10/15/2007), the only exceptions being when I was with her. She showed 22 date-stamped photos, a few from each visit.... including many wedding photos. She showed my passport and the entry and departure stamps. She showed our official wedding documentation showing we were married on November 23, 2006.

He wrote: "We need a bit more clarity of the relation because the timing is not clear. Please have your husband hand write a statement of your first meeting." He cited section 221(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act as the reason for the denial.

I wrote the statement and they received it two days after the interview. I was told by a Vice Consul that she will be asked to return in 4 - 6 weeks and get her visa then. But why not at her interview? Wrong guy on the wrong day? This should not be so arbitrary!

I hope this is helpful to you. I married a Chinese citizen on November 23, 2006 in China. On December 6, 2006 I filed the I-130 Form to the required office in the USA, which is determined by where I live in the USA. In my case, it was the Vermont Service Center. I soon received the I-797C Notice of Action that told me the application had been received. The USCIS website is not clear in its instructions as it says to wait for the I-797 Notice of Action (not the I-797C). It took a telephone call to the USCIS 6 weeks later to learn that the I-797C that I received was what I needed. 6 weeks wasted!

When notified that the I-130 has been received and you have a case number, that copy of the I-797 or I-797C then needs to be filed along with the I-129F application (and additional fee), to the Chicago office. Then the waiting game begins. You do NOT file in the Phillipines, the applications are sent to US offices, then forwarded to the US Consulate in the country of marriage. I mis-spoke in my earlier response, as I was thinking you were married in the Phillipines, not in Vancouver. Sorry!

I suggest you search the USCIS website for instructions.

You WILL need to return to the country of marriage for the interview and receipt of your visa. The paperwork will be forwarded to the US Consulate in the country of marriage for further processing. If there are several Consulates, then it will be sent to the one with jurisdiction over the city where you were married.

Good luck!

I am sure there will be a cap in which they have to send you packet 4 but you really don't want to wait for that period. Email embassy and ask them if you can pick up packet 4 directly from the embassy. If so, please visit the embassy and save some time. Meanwhile, also contact DOS and ask them if your interview is already scheduled and also confirm with them that you want to pick up packet 4 from the embassy.

Others can also shed some light on this - ones who have actually done this.


I know different countries do different things, but we got packet 4 via e-mail (my request, I am the USC). I was asked to forward it to my fiance. Don't know if this is an option for you.

You need to register your case on line with USCIS. Go to uscis.gov and on the menu to the left click "case status on line." Click on create/edit customer portfolio account and you will be asked to create a user name and password. I think you need to have the receipt number from your NAO1. Anytime your case is "touched" you will see a different date when you check your status.

Este es el peor de todos, tan malo que el hijodeputa le queda pequeno, corazon, entiendo por lo que estas pasando, pero Dios quiere para nosotros lo mejor, si esto sucedio, fue porque tarde o temprano ese imbecil te iba a pagar con esa moneda. se fuerte,y que sea el quien te busque para que diligencien el divorcio, y que pague por abogados y entre en un proceso, no se la dejes facil al infeliz ese. Lo siento mucho corazon, pero pa'delante, la mujer latina es fuerte y tiene buenos sentimientos, tu obraste de buena fe y fue el quien fallo. Dios te bendiga y saca fuerzas para adelante no te estanques ahi.

I believe after a very short marriage with little or no c o habitation the amount of money he wiull need to give her is NOTHING. He can simply file and get a divorce in most states.


You may want to check with an attorney if 10 months is "little or no habitation" -
In any case you are better off without him. Divorce is more painful the longer
the relationship.

Also - having a green card is not guarantee of admission into the UK - he would need a visa for the UK as well.

Mexico, Latin & South AmericaBest/cheapest way to mail things to South America?
Look at Aeropost - they have locations in Peru. I use them to Jamaica - they are fast, reliable, and inexpensive compared to the traditional shipping costs.
