K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Transfer Notice	Hi I am currently going through the same process. I have the I-130 filed with the NOA-1 notice and the I-129 NOA-1. It alarms me that so many people are giving advice not to file the I-129. You need to determine which USCIS field office your application is at and determine which is faster. In my case CA the time is exactly the same for the US portion of the visa process. Where the I-130 ends up being longer is at the Embassy. In the case of the Philippines it takes much longer to get an embassy interview for the I-130 than the I-129 K1 or K3. This site and the USCIS site gives great info on the time lines for the different visas. http://www.visajourn....php?history=90 http://www.visajourn....php?history=90	BRB	Male	Philippines	2009-07-19 14:52:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	im confused	QUOTE (pushbrk @ Jul 21 2009, 04:06 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (b1978 @ Jul 21 2009, 09:32 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I would not file the I-129F at this time. I was just approved for the I-130 and my NOA1 was March 24. So they are not that far away from processing May. Maybe another month or two, or even 3. But even if 3 months, the K-3 is running 5 months right now per USCIS. So it would not speed things up, and might even delay things. And then I-130 (CR-1) is a superior visa. There is no adjustment of status when you get to america, costs less, and gives you an immediate green card upon entry. So I would recommend just sitting back and waiting for the I-130 to be approved. Your already 2.5 months into the 5 months stated wait time for the I-130. A strongly agree. Follow the CR1 visa path and guide and look at the CR1 timelines not the K3 timelines. K3 is a virtually obsolete visa. In this case I would agree. You really need to send in the I-129F very soon after you get your NOA-1. There is a difference in wait times for an interview in Manila though. The wait for the CR-1 is around 155 days and the K3 is 45 days. When you take into account you will have more fees and work to do if you come in on a K3 I would stick with your I-130 (CR-1) visa. You might gain a little time but it really is not worth it at this point.	BRB	Male	Philippines	2009-07-23 19:05:00

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	I-864 Total income	Yes it is true if you are close to the poverty line you probably would not be putting much in one. They do just ask for your current gross income (ie..salary) for the current year.

I noticed for total income per the I-864 you can not show any deferred amounts like 401K contributions. I thought it was strange that the gov is looking at your ability to support someone else but does not take into account money you could use for this purpose. It does not effect me but I was wondering if there was a way to include this? Thanks	BRB	Male	Philippines	2009-07-25 16:08:00

I AM WAITING ON CITIZENSHIP NOW ...ALREADY HAD FINGERPRINTS TAKEN ,EXPECTING INTERVIEW LETTER AT THIS TIME . I ALREADY APPLIED I 130 FOR SPOUSE AND HAVE THE I 797 (NOA1 ) WITH ME . PLANNING ON SENDING I 129 F AS SOON AS I BECOME A CITIZEN. I WAS GOING THRO THE FORUMS HERE AND DID SEE PEOPLE WHO GOT THEIR NOA2 FOR I 129 F WITHIN A MONTH . SO THATS WHAT MADE ME THINK THAT I CAN GO BACK TO INDIA AS SOON AS I GET NOA 2 ( HOPING THAT IT WILL BE SOON ) AND WILL WAIT FOR THE INTERVIEW OUT THERE . PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR RECOMMENDATION . THANK YOU .... I really do not feel qualified to answer about what you should do since you are working on your citizenship now. I have co-workers who are from India on a HB-1 visa and they have told me that when they decided to get married they just flew back to India were married and submitted some paperwork and a few days latter came back to the US with their spouse. You really need to get some feedback from some other people who have gone through the process in India. It appears it actually takes longer to get your spouse to the US when you are a US citizen. I know the foreign workers in my office give me a hard time about it since they really did not have to wait.	BRB	Male	Philippines	2009-07-26 13:11:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	k3 visa timeline	QUOTE (MARTIN VARGHESE @ Jul 26 2009, 10:08 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> thanks for your reply . do you happened to know how long it normally take to get NOA 2 (approval ) for i 129 f . I would like to go back to my hubby who is in India . is it safe to go out of country to stay with my hubby till he gets k3 ?? will that be ok if have the pay stubbs and letter from bank and employer if its like 3-4 months old ? I appreciate all the help.. Right now it is saying 129 days from the 1st NOA to the NOA-2 for the I-129F but I would not leave the country after you apply for any long periods. You need to file the I-130 first and get your notice back and then send in the I-129F. I don't think you get to decide which service center you get. If you reside and a citizen of US you send the I-130 to the address for your state. When you get the NOA-1 for the I-130 you then send a copy of the NOA-1 for the I-130 to the service center on the form with the I-129F application. I think you will need more documentaion about your employment and pay than just pay stubs and bank account when you get to that point in the process. Edited by BRB, 26 July 2009 - 10:41 AM.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	k3 visa timeline	I have a NOA-1 for I-130 and NOA-1 for the I-129 currently at the CSC. The I-129 and the I-130 will be processed at about the same time (5mos) in the US but the time till you will have to wait for an interview at the American Embassy in Inda is 68 days for a K3 and 138 days for the ICR-1. So it becomes a personal decision to either go for the K3 and be in the US faster on a non-immigrant visa or wait and come into the country on the I-CR1 on an immigrant visa. If you enter the country on the K3 there will be other fees and things you will have to do once you are in the US to get immigrant status.	BRB	Male	Philippines	2009-07-23 18:53:00

If the applicant is already married to the US citizen how did your spouse explain that on the form? It looks like it is a form that is needed even though you are already married. I think you need one copy of the DS156K form and two copies of the DS156 for a K3. Please let me know if I am incorrect. Thanks in advance.	BRB	Male	Philippines	2009-07-26 17:24:00

If your fiance/fiancee came to the US on a tourist visa with the intent of immigration and marriage, and you are not yet married, then he/she should return to his/her home abroad, and the K-1 visa should be filed (using an I-129f) instead of the I-130 to avoid a denial, deportation, or even being banned from re-entry to the US. http://www.visajourn...page=i130guide2	BRB	Male	Philippines	2009-08-29 09:37:00

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Pursuing both K3 and CR1?	Trying to figure out the time is not easy. Not everyone updates their timeline on VJ and it depends on the USCIS center your case is at. There will be a difference in time before the interview once you get the NOA-2 depending on the visa you are trying to get. For my own case it is looking like two months difference between the K3 and CR1 but I have to evaluate it often and compare it to others who filed before me. To me it appears to be taking longer to get a visa for those who filed before me but it is hard to say. I think the other poster is correct. If you decide to go forward with both visas you actually will interview for the CR1. This is not a bad thing but you have to be prepared and have the documentation for the visa you are applying for. The reason it may take longer if you go with both visas is that there is generally a longer delay to interview for the CR1 vs K3 if you look at the timelines.	BRB	Male	Philippines	2009-08-28 06:15:00

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	In need of some help!!	Hi Mike you can go to USCIS.gov which is also a good place for info. There are two ways to get a spousal visa. A K3 (I129) or a CR1 (I130). The K3 is a non-immigrant visa and the CR1 is an immigrant visa. The first package that needs to be sent is the CR1 (I130 ) there are other documents you will need to send with it like the G325 for each of you and proof of your relationship and pictures. You can check the guides here for more info. After about a week or two you should receive your NOA-1. If you want to submit the K3 (I129 with paperwork) with a copy of your receipt from the I130, you do that at that time ( there is no extra charge to send the I129 as you are given credit by paying for the I130) Many people will tell you not to bother with the K3 but it may allow you to join together earlier. Some people who are not involved with getting a visa will tell you it may be just a few weeks longer but it could be much longer than that. I am currently doing both and seeing which one gets to the NVC faster.	BRB	Male	Philippines	2009-08-28 18:53:00

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	K3 Visa- Divorce Shanghai battle	I think you can stop her from being able to enter the US if you want. She did not act in good faith if she intends to still immigrate to the US and the reason she is being allowed to enter the US is that she is the spouse of a US citizen. She can not say she is married to you. If she does this is fraud. The visa she has is a conditional visa and the condition is that there is a relationship. You should contact the Embassy in China and tell them you wish to revoke the visa for her as you are not going to be married and do not want to be held responsible for her support.

I would'nt say it's obsoelete it's dependent upon what embassy your going to be working with and the time to interview for the specific visa. While it's true that with the CR1 you do not pay the $1010, you do pay $470 in other fees that replace the $131 visa application fee for the K3. As a result, the actual difference is more like $671 in government fees. For many, that's next to nothing compared to the earnings potential lost waiting at least 4 months for work authorization after US entry. My I-130 (CR1) and I-129 (K3) NOA-2 was sent on the same day.
