K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMarch Filers with NO APPROVAL yet.

I've finally decided I'm going to try calling to see if I can find out anything.........which number should I call? Just the customer service # on the USCIS website? My petition is at CSC.....



Well, I called, and the girl I got was actually really friendly and helpful. As usual, she told me it was still pending, but she did check to see if she could find anything else, then told me that they're processing petitions with a date of Feb. 1 right now. Who knows if that's accurate or not, but it's better than what is listed on the website right now for CSC processing times.

today it has been 140 days for my I-130 and 130 days for my I-129.
Just saw the timelines of other people from India and most of them got their interviews on average 155-170 days after NOA1 :crying: INJUSTICE OR WHAT

Is there any one at CSC whose been waiting longer than I have?



Yes, just a little bit.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMarch Filers with NO APPROVAL yet.

Can everyone Sound off who's not yet approved? How many of us are there still?????


Still no approval on K3. Is there anyone else left who filed as far back as me and still has no approval?


I guess I am missing something, why do you need to wait for 129F approval when your 130 is approved? You should move forward with 130. 129F through K3 only helps to bring your spouse to the US sooner if the 130 has not been approved. You show an NOA2 for 130....so I am assuming that is approval (or did you mean something else?) I am just wondering if there is something I have misunderstood about this process.


Even with my NOA2 in March for the I-130, it will still take more than a year at this point to get an interview for Mexico. If I get a K3 interview first, I'm going for it.

Lilikoi

Thanks for your encouraging words.
Today we reached our 95 day mark from our NOA1.
107 days.. :unsure:

95 days not a big deal then...

What else can I say...Wish we all have behind us.
But I thought that we'll be approved in this month.That 's why we are SO frustrated.



I am now at 126 days since the NOA 1, and I feel so hopeless. I can't live here in Mexico much longer. I just want to go home with my husband!

OK everyone. I got some news today - not good new, mind you, but it may shed light on other people's delays:

I wrote my Congressman who said that the official recieved date was changed to May 1st, 2007, 35 days after they actually recieved it. Aparently, they don't count the other office having recieved it first - they've started the clock over, moved the goal posts. Damn.

So everyone who was moved to the CSC or is in the CSC, you may expect longer delays.



Somehow, that is actually a little comforting. At least there is a reason.

Our approved K3 petition was sent to Ciudad Juarez the first week of September. I know we're waiting for a package with instructions to prepare for the appointment.......but how soon should we expect it? Will it also include our interview date, or does that come later? Also, do they only send the packet to the beneficiary, or also to the petitioner's US address?

Sorry, I couldn't find info that specific anywhere. Thanks in advance!

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresApproved March Filers past NVC
I'm feeling really frustrated and discouraged...........I called the consulate in Ciudad Juarez a few weeks ago, and was told that our petition was there and had been 'qualified' on Sept. 19. The guy told me I could expect an appointment letter in 2-12 months (!!). So I called again today to see if there was an appointment scheduled. I was told there was none scheduled, and he told me I could expect an appointment letter in 5-8 months! I know I probably shouldn't believe anything they tell me, but I'm freaked out. I mean this is a K3...........I thought the whole point was that it was supposed to be quick. Someone please reassure me that it will be soon!

Mexico, Latin & South AmericaHow did you bring your car to USA?
cray5ol.gif comun y corriente, suena feo pero es cierto!
La realidad es que no podemos venderlo en Mexico en el precio que nosotros queremos, practicamente seria "regalarlo" el carro es modelo 2006 y yo creo que con lo que nos den por el en Mexico no podemos comprarnos uno por lo menos del mismo año y kilometraje que el de nosotros. Ademas del valor sentimental, pues el carro lo hemos tenido con nosotros todo este tiempo (casi dos años) lo sacamos de la agencia y como ya sabes como se devaluan creemos que podemos explotarlo por lo menos otros 5 años mas para que valga la pena la devaluacion...
Mi esposo es quien lo traeria, el tiene la doble nacionalidad y el carro esta a su nombre por ese lado no habria problema.
El detalle es que no se realmente cuanto se pueda gastar en legalizarlo aca en USA o si solo puede estar como un tipo de permiso no se...
Estamos concientes del gasto que implica pero cruzo mis dedos para que alguien me diga que no necesariamente tiene que legalizarse

QUOTE (Len_and_Bren @ Jul 17 2008, 03:31 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Yo supongo que los oficiales de migración están acostumbrados a nuestros apellidos dobles ''' mi consejo sería llenar la forma con el nombre que aparece en el acta de nacimiento y si hay algún sitio donde diga "other names used" ahí ponga el que aparece en el otro documento. No está de más añadir una carta de cubierta explicando la discrepancia.
Suerte!


Si, yo tambien creo que en teoria asi es con nuestros nombres pero nunca sabe uno cuando podra haber problemas futuros. Me parece muy bueno tu consejo solo que no te entendi si llenar como aparece el nombre de ella en el acta de nacimiento del peticionario o como aparece el nombre en el acta de nacimiento de ella?
No se quien podra ser mas exigente imigracion, cuando mandemos la forma aqui. O imigracion en el consulado debido a la coincidencia de los nombres...
Ya vi y si hay un espacio en la forma para poner "other names used"....

Mexico, Latin & South AmericaPeticion de madre, ERROR de nombre en el acta de nacimiento
Hola. Finalmente estamos llenando la forma para pedir a la mama de mi esposo. El es ciudadano. Estamos llenando la I130 pero nos topamos con un problema. Veran, el acta de nacimiento americana de el dice que es hijo de Guadalupe Lopez. En el acta de nacimiento de ella su nombre es Ma. Guadalupe Lopez Reyes. Mi pregunta es que debemos hacer?
1) Llenar la aplicacion para ella como Guadalupe Lopez y concuerda con el acta de nacimiento de quien la pide pero no con el nombre que ella tiene en el acta de nacimiento de ella o,
2) Llenar la aplicacion como Ma. Guadalupe Lopez Reyes y concordaria con su acta de nacimiento (de la beneficiaria). Mi esposo en dado caso el podria probar que si es su madre por el acta que le dieron cuando legalizo su doble ciudadania (mexico-americano).
Me preocupa que se hagan mas lios porque yo se que en su momento ella tendra que probar con documentos que es la madre legal de quien la pide, por ese lado conviene llenar con el nombre que ella tiene en el acta de nacimiento. Pero por el otro lado imigracion puede ver que no es el nombre de la madre tal y como aparece en el acta de nacimiento americana de el...
Que hacemos??
Mil gracias de antemano.

Te refieres a tu acta de nacimiento?? Si es asi, no necesitas apostillarla. Yo misma traduje mi acta de nacimiento para el AOS solamente notarice la traduccion. Hasta ahora no ha habido ningun problema mucha gente en VJ lo ha hecho asi. En las instrucciones no dicen que deba de ser reciente pero al menos yo si mande uno actualizado.

According to the CDJ consulate, Mexicans don't need that letter for the interview. But as you said, the best thing is to have it anyway. You never know when they are going to ask for it. Personally, I didn't need it. My mother in law had her interview this past September and she didn't need it neither.

Hi Guys,
My fiance's interview is on the 4th march...
And so far I thot that since my co-sponsor is not self employed I wont need any tax papers! I wud really appreciate if someone cud tell me by personal experience what all is reqd.....( it just gets awkward to ask my uncle for all these personal details unsure.gif )
since my personal income is nil.....am a student....do I still need a bank statement...I have negligible savings???
pls help....dont have much time!!



The income tax for the last 3 years are neccesary. If your co-sponsor have W2 he can show that. If you're not working for now I think that a letter explanation of unemployment would be fine, but i think that the most important thing is that you show them that you're planing to get a job o explain why not you're not able for work... It's my opinion.

You can use your income/assets to help your spouse to reach the poverty line. But you can't do it by yourself (only your income). It's better look for a co-sponsor. Good luck

However, I could only get a statement of non-filing for 2005. They won't give me a statement of non-filing for this most current year 2007 because you can still submit taxes until June. How do I go about giving them these transcripts? Do I write a note explaining why I don't have 2007 because you can still submit taxes or do they only want 2006, 2005 and 2004 since this tax year is not over yet? I'm so confused about this.

You can attach a explanation of unemployment letter, also you can provide proofs wich support your statement (as school records). And you must look for a co-sponsor or joint sponsor.
