K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI130 and I-129F Status Info

I just got of the phone with a tier 2.

I had a question about a typographical error in my A number (I am a USC) on the NOA1.

He said that it does not matter since I am a US citizen.

I also asked him about the I-129F i filed for a K3.

He said: " I'll be honest with you, they are not going to honor that"

he also added: "if you don't hear anything by Dec 26 (6 months after I filed the I-129F), call us again"

 

So, I guess K3 is dead, but I'll still call them the first week of January to check on that.

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK-3 Not Being Processed b/c of I-130?

In your case I guess it was time for your I-130 to be transferred anyway since you are an April filer.

the I-130 saves money and time overall.

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK-3 Not Being Processed b/c of I-130?

I am a USC, and filed an I-130 & I-129F for my Israeli husband in April 2013. Both were sent to NBC. The K3 should have been processed by now, so I put in a service request on 11/20/13. Two weeks later, I received a transfer/processing notice about the I-130. USCIS says no action whatsoever has been taken on the K-3 - it is just sitting at NBC. Does this mean they will not process the K-3 and go forward with the I-130? good or bad?

 

If I'm reading this correctly, your I-130 has been transferred as a result of the service request on the I-129F?

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsproblem with i-129f

Once you file I-129F (for K3), the application gets paired with your I-130 and both will be processed at the same time on teh I-130 timeline.

So, basically I-129F for K3 is useless. I'm on the same boat.

 

you should still get your I-129F NOA1, but it is almost useless.

 

The fact that your I-130 case was transferred to Nebraska already, it may be processes faster than most of us that filed earlier.

 

Good luck

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDuplicate file accepted for i129f

Forget about the I-129F. They will process both the I-130 and I-129F at the same time.

Once you respond to the RFE and they get what they asked for, they will approve both of them at the same time and move both of them to the NVC where the I-129F will be administratively closed since the I-130 is the superior visa process. Nothing to worry about

Already advised

http://www.visajourn...r-me-in-my-ask/

 

I am getting to wonder if the SO has any SAY-SO in this process....

 

Your wife should post the questions and info on here and we will be able to communicate better.

I do have a question for you...is your lawyer from the U.S. or Maroc?

 

je crois pas que l'avocat serai du Maroc. Ils n'ont aucune connaisance de la loi de l'immigration Americaine.

On a besoin de bcp de details pour comprendre l'histoire.

 

Translation: I don't think the lawyer is from Morocco. They have no knowledge of US immigration laws.

We need a lot of details to understand the story.

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK3.....Really?

Hi all,
Usually it is the people that have been through the same case are the people that can give good advice. Please, if you have never been thru it don't argue much.
My wife recently joined me on a K3 visa and our green card interview is next week September 2013, K3 visa applies to those who are already married and wants to speed up the process to be together. The USCIS won't lead you to the wrong thing nor lie to you, yes it a little more expensive but a faster way to bring your spouse.
Some of the members think that K3 visa is obsolete. They are wrong, I have been through the process and my wife is here now, the type of visa on her passport says K3.
Good luck on your journey



Salam brother, how long did it actually take you for I-129F process? from petition to NOA2 and also how long did it take you after NOA2?

You are giving me hope brother, my wife is in Morocco and it has been almost 4 months that I filed I-130 and I-129F?

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsFiling I 129F for wife, anyone else done this already? Help needed!!

The OP already filed through Chicago lockbox.

I think K3 is a valid option. I'm going that route (K3 route). Already have a case # for K3 and it is about to be sent to the embassy for visa processing.

The embassy WILL process the K3 if not just to get the money for the filling fee and I've seen recent example of K3 visas from the US consulate in Casablanca Morocco.

My wife already has all the paperwork ready for the interview. Just waiting for the file to get to the consulate before paying the fees. getting the medical and scheduling the interview.

DS-160 will become available as soon as the file is shipped to the embassy.

 

OP, unless you are OK re-applying DCF (DCF available and paying the fees again is not a problem), go ahead and file the I-129F for K3. It is free, so you have nothing to lose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

National Visa Center (Dept of State)NVC supporting Docs Divorced

My husband was married before what if I didnt put on i130 that he was married will they know and send me a RFE?

 

That's called falsification and they will find out during the background check.

It could have significant impact on the petitioners ability to immigrate to the US.

 

I hope it is not your case!!!!!!!!!!

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK-3 Visa is it still an active or an obsolete visa?

Hi! I just want to ask where did you file your i-129. I was reading guides and other topics and i just wanted to confirm. Do you send the application where the marriage took place?

the I-129F has to be sent to the following addresses here in the USA: (from teh USCIS website): http://www.uscis.gov/i-129f

 

Where to File

File Form I-129F at the USCIS Dallas Lockbox facility:
For U.S. Postal Service (USPS):

USCIS
P.O. Box 660151
Dallas, TX 75266

For USPS Express Mail and courier deliveries:
USCIS
Attn: I-129F
2501 South State Highway 121 Business
Suite 400
Lewisville, TX 75067
 













etrangaisMaleMorocco2013-11-08 16:37:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK-3 Visa is it still an active or an obsolete visa?

Yeah cause we can't file a K3 visa unless we filed first a CR 1-Visa. That is a requirement to file a K3 petition.

I'm in the same boat, I filed I-130 and after I got the NOA1, I filed I-129F.

eventhough the chance of getting a K3 visa throu is minimal, I'm hoping that with the long wait periods for approving I-130, they will give the I-129F a chance to go throu.

Who knows?

hello evrey one can some one explain me if it s ok if i have k 3 non immigration visa should i worry ??

If you already got a K3 and you are here in the USA, you need to start the AOS process (Adjsutment of Status).

 

Good luck

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsUpdate i-130

On November 7, 2013, your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please check our website at www.uscis.gov for further updates on your case. Please wait until the end of normal processing time before calling customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for live assistance.

 

any idea what this update all about?

it depends on when did you send in your I-130. if you just sent it couple of weeks ago, it means that the USCIS just assigned an A number to your spouse, but you still have to wait between 8 to 10 months for approval. I've got the same message 10 days after I sent in my I-130.

but if you sent you I-130 months ago, it means they are working on your file and a decision is around the corner.

 

Best of luck

And you are wrong. There have been cases where the petitioner was called for an interview with  a local USCIS office before the final decision on the petition is rendered.
