K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresJFK POE

southernchic,

You thought wrong.

Yodrak

I thought that both K-3 and K-1 visa could get a temporary EAD stamp at JFK.

Or a nicer way to say it would be.....JFK only gives temporary EAD stamps to K-1 visa holders, K-3 visa holders must apply for one. Also JFK is only suppose to issue EAD stamps to NY state residents, however that policy is often not practiced.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresVermont NOA1

Hi all;
I mailed I-130 to VSC on May 24th, 2006. I recieved the reciept from post office today which indicates that the I-130 was recieved at VSC on may 26th at 7 pm. anyone has any idea how long it will take for me to get reciept from VSC? Am I being so impatience? May be I am because i miss her so much and she's very frustrated too. I appreciate help from all fellows. Thanks.

Hi,

We mail ours to vermont on may 6th, recieved may 8th and notice date of may20th (12 days for us)...didnt recieved the notice till the 24th. Your not being impatient...just anxious like most of us.....good luck and hopes for a speedy NOA.

halo and jazzy.....

For your edification, VJ is a self-help forum.

If you want to be spoon fed, go heat up some pablum and ring your mama.

In the meantime, try to have a bit of consideration for those who have already earned their stripes?

Um-kay?

You are correct...it is a self help forum...people come here to help themselves...help themselves through this process...it has been a tremendous help to my wife and I. But people come for answers and support through a very anxious and sometimes confusing time. No one is asking to be spoon fed, just for people to be supportive.... not sarcastic or pompous. And for your information, I've earned my stripes...been through the K-1 process and now the K-3.

oh what silly people you 2 are :yes: ................and I might add, Lorelle & Yodrak are both right, you might be surprised to know BUT the person you spoke to from VSC was probably a person answering the "mis-information" line so what they say realy means NOT A LOT!!!


and thats the last i'm going to ay in this thread :whistle:

You may be surprised to know that the person I talked to has been a FRIEND of mine for years....not just a person answering the phone...and Yodrak and Lorelle are wrong on this point. They both have a lot of knowledge that is valuable here, but nobody is right all the time...and this time they are wrong.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresFor those who have not recd Receipt notice

I think you guys need to look up the definition of "sarcastic". Yodrak is a lot of things, I'm sure, but 'sarcastic' is not at the top of my list.

Sarcasm...as defined by websters....A keenly ironical or scornful utterance; contemptuous or taunting language. The use of biting gibes or cutting rebukes.

This is exactly the nature of some of his remarks and answers.

Halohalo,

I agree with you about Yodraks sarcasm, its not needed or wanted at times....which is a shame because he does have alot of knowledge that can be useful to others....but most people don't want to get info that has a sarcastic tone to it, it comes off as preachy and condesending.


Lorelle,

Halohalo isnt falsely accusing....as i told you there are many people here that feel that way about his posts. Written word or not, its sarcasm! And your right members have a responsibility to learn these things for themselves...thats why they are here... to learn and get support....not to get sarcasm.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresFor those who have not recd Receipt notice

Jazzy,

There are two forms used for NOA's.....I-797 & I-797C........the I-797C being the newer version of I-797. Petitioners will receive either the the I-797 or I-797C randomly for their NOA1 & NOA2. I-797 uses the words 'receipt date' and a 'notice date', I-797C uses the words 'received date' and a 'notice date'.

By your reckoning if someone (as they do) receives I-797 (NOA) that they have two 'receipt dates'

The receipt or received date (depending on which NOA they send out) is the priorty day by which anything to do with the petition process goes from. The 'notice date' means NOTHING at all...not even your misunderstood notion that processing begins with the 'notice date'.

Lorelle

Lorelle,

With all due respect the processing begins with the notice date, that is the date the petition enters the system, the recieved date is the priority date you are correct there. This is not a "misunderstood" notion....like i wrote before this info comes straight from a vsc employee...not from opinion. One of reasons for changing the wording on the new version of I-797 © is to eliminate that confusion.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresFor those who have not recd Receipt notice

jazzy,

Excuse me? Take another look at a Receipt Notice. As you say, there are two dates - one labeled Receipt Date and one labeled Notice Date. Most of the time these two dates not the same date, and in ual's case the dates are different by 16 days. How can you say that the notice date is the receipt date?

I disagree with you that USCIS considers processing to have begun when a case is logged into their system. USCIS allows 30 days for a case to be processed before it becomes overdue (absent and IBIS hit), and the counting for those 30 days begins when the case is taken off the shelf and is given to a case officer to review and decide. The time allowed for processing does not begin with either the Receipt Date or the Notice Date.

Getting back to ual's question, the origin of this discussion, he asked what the Receipt Date and Notice Dates mean. I agree with you that the Receipt Date is the date that the petition was recognized by USCIS as having arrived. The Notice Date is merely the date that the notice was issued, nothing more. It does a disservice to tell people that it means processing has begun on their petition, giving them the expectation that a decision must be forthcoming, when in fact nothing is yet being done that would lead to a decision (except possibly at the VSC, where 'shelf life' was very short pre-IMBRA).

'Touches' can be created by any number of activities, the activity not always having to do with working the case to reach a decision. Again, call it processing if you wish, but it is not necessarily a type of processing that is part of case review and decision making.

Yodrak

Yodrak,

MY God!!! First of all there are 2 dates on the NOA..."recieved"...NOT reciept....and notice date. On the date of the "notice"...not recieved....the PROCESSING begins with the entry into thier system and the issueing of a reciept number....thus the "reciept" date is same as the notice date....its not nothing more than the date the notice was issued...its the date the process has begun.
How in the world does do a disservice to anyone to let tell them that thier processing has begun?...Most people realize this process takes time and this IS the first step in that process. Websters defines "process" as "acourse or method of operations in the production of something, a forward movement, progressive or continuous proceeding". By definition this is the start of the processing. Further, I have a friend at the VSC who confirms they consider this the start of the processing!! It does not give people the expectation that a decision is forthcoming...its merely the beginning of the process...step one! As far as touches go, they are all part of the process, even if nothing has been done with the petition on a review level.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresFor those who have not recd Receipt notice

jazzy,

What you said before, in your first post in this thread, is that processing began on 25 May in ual's case - his Notice Date, not his Receipt Date.

That aside, if you want to consider sitting on the shelf to be in processing, so be it. The USCIS considers that processing begins when a case is taken off the shelf and in given to a case officer for review and decision. Hence the Processing Dates that they publish.

Yodrak

Yodrak,

The notice date IS the reciept date. There are 2 dates on the NAO #1..the recieved date date...when it was physically recieved via mail...and the notice date, which is the reciept date being that it is a "reciept" notice. Further the USCIS conciders the processing to have begun when they enter it into the system not when they "take it off the shelf". Each "touch" is part of the process.

Jazzy
jazzyNot TellingPhilippines2006-06-02 04:18:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresFor those who have not recd Receipt notice

jazzy,

The petition has entered the system effective the Receipt Date. And from then on it sits on a shelf until moved to a case officer's desk, regardless of when the Receipt Notice gets issued (the Notice Date).

Yodrak

Yodrak,

As I said before, and you just repeated...."The petition has entered the system effective the Receipt Date"...this is when the PROCESSING begins...wether it sits on a shelf for a while or not.
jazzyNot TellingPhilippines2006-06-01 17:07:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresFor those who have not recd Receipt notice

jazzy,

Issuing a Receipt Notice does not mean that processing of the case has begun. Unless you consider the act of issuing the Receipt Notice an item of processing, but that would be a rather trivial bit of processing.

Yodrak

Yodrak,

Trivial or not, this DOES mean the processing has begun, its when the petition/application first enters the system. To most people this is not trivial...its a very much anticipated and important part of the process.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresG325A for I-129F

Hi,
Can somebody tell me what is the right phrase to answer in form G325A where it asks for "This form is submitted in connection with application for:". This is for I129F subnmission for K3 visa.

For G325A in I-130 application I have put in the following.

-- Status as permanent resident [G325A for non-USC wife]
-- Other - I-130 Petition for wife [G325A for USC husband, myself]

What should I fill in for the corresponding question when I submit G325A for I-129F (K3)? Thanks a lot.

Regards,

Hi dougalted,

All that is needed is to check the box that says "other" and write/type in I-130 for the I-130 petiton and I-129f for the I-129f petition. Checking the box that says "status as permanent resident" is not correct. Just check "other" and put I-130.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI am not recieving emails from USCIS


I have also signed up on the USCIS website to receive e-mail updates. However, I have never received any e-mails from them despite the fact that my case has been "touched". From what I understand this seems to be the case w/ some people. Meaning, some people do get notified by e-mail while others do not - it all seems to be luck of the draw. Remember it's the USCIS we're talking about - everything is chaotic. Good luck.

You only get an email when they have somthing to tell you, all other touches mean NOTHING!! therefore they dont email you :thumbs:

True you usually only get email when then have something to tell you about your case, however...every touch means SOMETHING...even if it means a check was cashed, someone looked at ect. Your best bet to know if your petition was "touched" is to check the USCIS site daily and see if the "last updated" date has changed.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresFrom K-1 to K-3


Hi all


I am about to have my interview and I was wondering if anything goes wrong and we get denied or our petition sent back to the US, could we get married and file for K-3 right after ?

Thanks !


If something goes wrong it will go wrong the one way or the other. If your K1 gets denied your K3 will get denied as well.
Being married doesn`t lead to a 100% approval. Of course you must meet the requirements.

This is VERY UNTRUE. We actually had our K-1 denied last year. We married this year in the Philippines and petitioned for K-3/K-4. We don't anticipate any problems. The reason for the first denial was that my wifes previous marraige had not been properly desolved...the problem is now rectified, she got her annulment...and we were wed. There is no reason now to be denied.

Hi Tom,

You can't copy the G-325A's from the I-130's...you must submit new ones...the same information of course will be there...but you have to have an original signature and where it says "this form is submitted in connection with"...you will check other and type/write I-129f.....you can use the online fillable form to save you some work filling up the form....hope this answers your question.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhen filing i130 for child

Thank you, I read that and as stated at the bottom it only reminds you to send for a husband or wife.
But now another question?
should we even file a i-130 for my daughter, can we do aos without it? This is so confusing. We are just waiting for the packet 4 for the K-3. Any suggestions would be of help!

If the step child enters on a K-4 visa you will still need to file a I-130 for the step child at some point in order for the child to adjust status. So you can file the I-130 now...which would be needed to enter on a cr-1 or file later which is needed to adjust status on the k-4....it just depends on which way you wish to go...we filed the I-130 for both my wife and step child as well as the I-129f for the K-3/k-4....i figured i would have to file it anyway at some point so why not now......hope this helps.

These questions, I'm sure have never been asked before! :hehe:

PLZ HELP???

1.) My husbands G235-A is dated 5-22-06. Do they really have to be 30 days or less? Am I setting myself up for an rfe?

2.) Family name, his last name for me on the I-129f since we are married or should I just use Houston (MY MAIDEN NAME) like I did on the I-130?

3.) Pictures Im sending are the same ones I sent with the I-130 and yes they are over 30 days!

4.) Question #10 on the I-129, do they want the # from my birth certificate? I'm a natural born citizen.

5.) Quest. #11, shouls I put pending I-130 or something? I know I have to send the NOA1 from the 130. I dont want to leave anything blank, you know?

6.) Quest #18. says explain in detail why the requirement that we should have met shouldn't apply. I posted something about before. Instead of me going to Morocco prior to marrying my husband, I used that money to take my daughter so she could be a part of the wedding. Is now the time to send in her airplane tickets and passport and stuff like that. It does only say to "EXPLAIN". I want to send it anyway. Opinoins on this one PLEASE?

7.) Last 1............ For part C of the 129f.. I put n/a for EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!! Of course I have more than 1 copy of the 129f. Are these questions for me or my husband. It doesn't really matter, it is still not applicable to either one of us. Soooooooooooooooo, should I NOT answer them at all?


Thank you for responses. I really and truly appreciate everything yall!

Hi there,

1.)...the date on the G325a does NOT have to be within 30 days
2.)...if your using his last name now then you should use that....probably should have on the I-130 also...
3.)....your pictures are fine...we used the same pics and they were older than 30 days...
4.)....check the box that says "birth in the U.S." if you were born here...nothing else is required.
5.).....put in the name of the benificiary, USA, date of I-130 filing, and "I-130 pending"...that should be suficient.
6.)....for question #18...the instructions tell you it's not applicable for spouses...just put N/A as the instructions tell you


hope this helps..:)

Hello Guys,

Its my first time to hear this kind of seminar, is it mandatory for all spouses of foreign nationals? If I dont attend the seminar what will happen? I have a friend and she left with K1 visa, I know she didnt attend the CFO seminar and left for US with no issue.

Thanks,

Kim,

it is not possible for a filipino to leave the philippines on a k visa without taking the seminar/getting the CFO stamp in passport...it is philippine law...they will not allow you on the plane without that stamp. If your friend did indeed have have a k-1 visa...and she left the philippines for US...then she must have taken the CFO seminar.

The CFO seminar is NOT required to obtain the passport....we have already checked on this and gone through the motions in Cebu for this. The CFO seminar is required AFTER the passport and visa are obtained. John your correct ...the web site does say that.....but you can get the passport without that non the less ..just use your marraige contract and nso marraige certificate...thats all thats needed.
In our case ..she already had a passport prior to marraige so we are just getting an official stamp to ammend her name to show her new name in passport as they will not issue a new one until this one expires. She already did her CFO seminar last fall....but that is not a requirement here....just the nso marraige certification.....we should get that back this week. Alot of times in the Philippines things are different then what is written on web sites.....believe me...we've been through the wringer!

I've searched the archives as best I can with regard to this topic and find little of assistance. My Filipino GF and I were married in Phils on April 24 and we have just begun the I-130/I-129F processing and are waiting for any news. I-130 submitted on June 16 and no word yet on anything. She does not have a Philippine passport yet and according to the requirements to obtain her first passport she needs to attend the CFO Guidance and Counseling session for workers and spouses who emigrate to a foreign country. She needs the certificate of attendence when she makes her passport application appearance and then her passport will need a stamp certifying that she has attended, I am assuming, before she is issued a visa to leave the Philippines. This session is offered only in Manila and Cebu City. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks so much!!!

Michael in Ohio

Hi Michael,

you got married around same time as us....we were married on april26...:)...ok...her passport. You do NOT need the cfo seminar to obtain her passport. All you need is her birth certificate, NBI clearance, Barangay clearance. If she is to use your sur name then present also a NSO copy of marraige certificate. My wife obtained her passport before we were married so it has her maiden name on it....we are now getting it amended to have my last name...which only requires the nso marraige certificate. The CFO seminar is needed for she leaves the philippines....she will take the seminar either now...or closer to interview date...your choice...doesn't matter......then after her successful interview and the visa is issued in her passport...bring that to the cfo with your seminar certificate and they will place a stamp in the passport....and she is free to leave the country then....:) If i remember correctly she needs to have her passport already before she can take the seminar.....hope this helps

You DO NOT send G325a's with the stepchild I-130. You do however need the childs birth certificate and the mothers BC as well as your own, marraige cert. and any applicable divorce/annulment papers. The marraige cert shows the relationship (married to the childs parent) and the BC's show the relationship with parent. The birth certificates show the names of the natural parents and that is required.

Yes, in the subject line of his post he indicated that the girl is a K4. But nowhere did he say or imply that the I-130 he is filing is for her K4 visa. He simply let us know that the girl is a K4 and now he's submitting an I-130 for her and has some questions about what to submit along with the I-130.
I still don't see where Robee says anything close to the I-130 being a K4.

Yodrak....yes he did....in his title of the post..."replying to K-4 checklist for the I-130 application". She is a K-4 in relation to the I-129f...not the I-130. He can file I-130 for his step-daughter without filing a I-129f in which case there is no K-4.

Yodrak...again yes he does...the title says just that...."K-4 checklist FOR the I-130"...i'm actually surprised you didn't point that out first. Further the girl is not a K-4 under I-130...its not until he applies for(if at all) the I-129f...which some people choose not to do.

hi robee,

If you are filing the I-130 for your step-daughter then it is not the K-4....that comes with filing the I-129f for your spouse(k-3) and the step-daughter is listed on that petition and becomes eligable for a K-4.
If you are filing an I-130 for your step daughter you need same documentation for yourself to show you are a US citizen...BC or passport...for your step-daughter, you will need a copy of your marraige certificate showing you are married to her parent, copy of any applicable divorce decrees or annulments. Though not required we enclosed a copy of my wifes bc and step-daughters bc. We also enclosed photos of the three of us together as further proof of relationship.

hope this helps.....jazzy

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNo RFE? any other K-3 still waiting for RFE?


To date we still have not received a imbra RFE. Our notice date was june 2nd, of course i called the 800 number and of course they couldn't tell me anything...."they have no information on the RFE's". Is anyone else still waiting for their imbra RFE?


Im curious, were you by chance married in the USA?
We were married in the USA and maybe that made a difference.... but again, I doubt it.. probably sitting lonely on the bottom of a pile somewhere.

twood,

We were married in the Philippines. If they are truely processing inthe order in which they are received then we should have got an RFE by now...we'll hope for this coming week i guess...

Did you use the newer updated I-129f? I am not sure when they becme available, but if you used the new form you may not get an RFE, with that being said you just may have to wait until processing is complete. Good luck and a speedy Journey!!

Based on his timeline, the new form was not available... I don't know what to tell you jazzy, I submitted my I-129F after you and already received and return my IMBRA RFE (both of them)

Hi there,

Thats just my worry...lots of people here who had nao's after ours have the rfe already. Thanks sherry....we are hoping for that speedy journey everyday...:)

Hi,

K-3's are just as affected by imbra as K-1's. We used the old form, new one wasn't available yet. We should be getting the RFE.....just being impatient i guess.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedurespls help in how i can save the chat session of my hubby!
Hi,

In addition to the archiving features...you can print out copies as you chat. On yahoo, which we use, if you print while your chatting you should be able to get the whole window. If you archive you will only be able to print out words and times and dates that you chat. Another idea which we used is to take a few photos of you on the comp chatting...we use the cams and voice chat through yahoo...so we took a few pics of me on the comp talking with my wife, showing both cams ect. A few print outs of different chat sessions from the archives should be sufficient though.
