National Visa Center (Dept of State)	RE: Confused by Information	I am going to say this but I am not being mean, there are plenty of internet cafes in Jamaica he does not needs to be computer savy, he just needs an email, and ask someone at the cafe to print out his interview date page. He will need the interview date paper to present for the medical. He doesn't even need to print it out, if he has a BB and he is using it to surf the internet he can just show his email to the doctors office. Again, those who doesn't have the internet at home in Jamaica, are using their bb. But he will need the print out interview paper to get into the consular for the interview.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)	Petition Returns To USCI From NVC	Thank you dwheels76 and Life's Journey..From your experience, is this something simple as a missing piece of paper or something more serious that USCIS overlooked? I know patience is a virtue but it's hard when someone else is in control of your destiny. Could be something simple, all you can do is wait now. The blessing will come once it is back at NVC you might be able to request an expedite for the interview date.	LIFE'SJOURNEY	Female	Jamaica	2012-12-31 14:31:00

We are in the same position and I, as well, need some advise. My husband has an actual interview date for his K3 on May 20th and an interview for his IR 1 on June 20th. Of course, we also want to pursue the IR 1. Not sure what to do. I have contacted the embassy via email since they don't discuss over the phone, however, I haven't gotten any reply other than the normal confirmation that my email was received. So, if I find out something I will let you know. This is very frustrating. Good luck. We also have to go through a waiver process, from my understanding it's not done there in Jamaica. Any one have any idea how long that process is?..................... One Love Try calling NVC and ask them to forward your case to Kingston, if it is completed, so you can do the May 20th for a CR!.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	need help	Hello, we need more information to be able to help you. I am going to assume your wife and stepson is in JA. Are you presently, living here in the USA? If your wife and step-son is here in the USA too, then you would be doing an AOS, if not then you should procedd with the CR1. Don't worry about doing the K3, because it takes the same amount of time that a CR1 does. Once your CR1 is sent to NVC, it can take as little as a month to be approved, then about a month after that to get an interview. The CR1 is better for your family, because they will enter the USA with a CG if all is approved.	LIFE'SJOURNEY	Female	Jamaica	2009-05-19 17:37:00

A K3 visa can only be denied by a Consulate. A petition can be denied by USCIS, which is what sounds like has happened. If your I-130 was approved only 5 days after you mailed your I-129F, the I-129F would have been denied simply because there was no longer a "pending" I-130. Count this as a blessing. K3 is an obsolete visa category waiting to be buried. Follow the CR1 path your I-130 is on. Please note that nobody has applied for a visa yet. You filed a petition. NVC doesn't deny visas. yes it was the ucis that denied it but denied it as a k1 visa going for th Cr1 but waiting for the funds! I am in the construction business and haven't worked in 3months my lawyer resubmitted the k3 again explaining what they did wrong thanks for the input So, if your I-130 has been approved, you will be thru the process of the CR1 at NVC, before the K3 even get approved at USIC.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Getting Marry	Hi: I am US Citizen by naturalization. In September 2008 I divorced from my ex wife I petitioned for her and she got her permanent residence. Now I am engaged and in the process of getting married. My soon to be wife is from Germany and has a 18 years old son. I have a few questions that I would appreciate if you can answer: - Since I emmigrated my previous wife and I divorced her in Sep 2008. Is there is any restriction that can preclude me from marrying, and most importantly petition for my current fiance? If so how long I have to wait until I can marry and petition for my new wife? - If I petition my new wife, can her 18 years old be included in the petition? Since both my fiance and her son are here in the US, can we do adjustment of status? -Any risk her son cannot get included in my petition becouse of his age? Thanks for your responses. Whitejuly. Are they both prepared to leave the US, so you can follow the K1 route? If they leave will they have occured any overstays? It seems as if you have left out some crucial facts, therefore I don't think an actual answer can be given for your situation.	LIFE'SJOURNEY	Female	Jamaica	2010-04-21 09:07:00
