K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures129F sent to Vermont?
I filed my I-130 with Vermont mid Mar then filed a I-129F (in prep for K-3) with Chicago about 7 days later with the receipt from Vermont. Got a receipt from Chicago stating they got it.
Today I get a notice to tell me they sent the I-129F to Vermont. I thought it would be approved at the Missouri center? Has anyone else had this happen?

Thanks

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures?? About I-130 when K3 is approved?

Frank,
Once your K3 is approved and your wife is in the US you need to file for an AOS. You have the option of either CR-1 or K3. If she has a K3 means that you chose K3 over CR-1. Now when she is in the US you need to file an AOS. Hope this helps.!!

Hope someone can answer this:
Once the K3 is approved and my wife is in the U.S. with me what is the process for the I-130 for the CR-1? Where does the interview take place? Here in the U.S. I would assume and not at the Embassy in my Wife's native country?

Thanks
Frank

So how do I apply for AOS? Just wait 18 months then do so?

Thanks
Frank

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWho got three touches and then approval?
Try to hold off and go by the more accurate approval timelines. I am at the VSC; the month before last it was 28 days. This month it is 33. Based on the time of the year the times are increasing but not radically. If I get to 45 days I am going to be concerned.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresk3 - Vermont March filer
going by other timelines for Vermont should start to see some action in the next 7 days (by next Thursday).

Funny enough though that if the Immigration Bill is approved my wife could be here (but only temporarily) based on the expansion of the Visa Waiver program. I am tired of saying goodbye though; I am ready for this to be over.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK-3 March Filers at Vermont Service Centre

I don't know if there is a topic for March VSC filers. But it would be nice to know if anyone who has their application at VSC got an approval. I have called VSC today and spoke with a live person, only to find out that my case is still pending. His tone was very good, and he tried his best to give me explanations on why cases might take a long time to be processed. I didn't want to hear all that, but I was polite to listen because he was polite on the phone as well. Anyhow, if you got an approval please post it since we are all in the same boat. I think the last person who got an approval from VSC (4/30/2007) was "damian" if I am not wrong.

Waiting patiently

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresVSC March Filers
Yes this is very frustrating. I want to go see my wife (at a huge expense) but I just need to hang on for a few days. Wonder if they are using interns at VSC to help with the workload? I hope someone comes back from a coffee or lunch break and decides to hammer out a dozen applications or so. Maybe we should suggest they get paid by the number of applications processed. Probably see the wait time go down to two days around Christmas and just before summer holidays.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-129F or I-130? (Both are approved)
Like many others I got the I-130 and I-129F approved on the same day. Do I just forget about the I-129F and go for the I-130? Money is not my concern but getting my wife here the fastest way possible is.

Thanks

FINALLY Approved on 21 Aug. Like many the I-130 was approved on the same day as the I-192F. So what do I do? Forget about the I-129F and just go for the I-130? I don't care about the money only how fast I can get my wife here.

I thought I heard trumpets this afternoon. Not loud mind you. So I took a look and I have a touch on the 129F; after two months. No change in status just a touch. I think they are playing with me now.


That's really exciting! Congratulations! Did you call them or was this an unsolicited touch?

an unsolicited touch. Normally I would feel violated but go ahead and do it again.

I for one am quite discouraged. All this talk about the Immigration Bill is not helping either. I wish someone in Washington would pay as much attention to people trying to get here legally as they are to the illegal group. What a bummer. Sorry just having a pity party before another weekend with no news.

Should we go through the non-U.S. citizen line or the U.S. citizen line? Our son has a U.S. passport, but my wife obviously does not.

You, your wife and the baby stay on the US citizen line. Stay together as a family as much as possible.

IndiaCan petitioner go with Beneficiary in interview?

Thanks Boggy1974 :) Also, thanks for the tip about passport/ID. I wouldn't have though of that.

I understand that petitioner is not allowed to interfere in anyway. I personally think it'll be just a good moral support for my mother-in-law if my husband is there with her. Plus, if anything were to come-up, she'll have his help handy.

Yes I agree absolutely being there will be good moral support. Also, probably provide calming influence and assurance that all shall be well no matter the outcome. My very best of luck to her!

IndiaCan petitioner go with Beneficiary in interview?

Hello all,
My husband has filed for my mother-in-law but we've to get through NVC before interview so we've quite a bit of time. My mother-in-law does not speak English at all. I was wondering if they allow petitioner (in this case, my husband) to go with beneficiary during the visa interview at Mumbai consulate. Will they allow petitioner to be present during interview? If not, will they at least allow petitioner to go with beneficiary into the building/room where they wait to be called for interview?

Sure you can go to the interview. But note that it's NOT your interview so nothing will be asked of you. Probably you might just stand there and watch...even some consulate might not let you in into the interview room.

Just have your passport or ID ready if you choose go but your presence will not make or break a successful interview.

CaribbeanJamaica Packet 3

Hello,
How do you go about emailing DS-230 to the embassy. The form does not allow you to save it online. Did you have to print it then fax it to them, or did you print it scan it and attach it in the email. Trying to email it instead of mailing it so it would go faster, but I am not sure how to go about this. You help will be greatly appreciated. Thank You.


People on here have had success emailing it to them. Try it both ways.

Hello and welcome to the Yardie room!


They are well aware that Jamaica has no zip codes so therefore I would leave it blank. We did on our forms. When I mail stuff to JA I never use a zip code. Hope this helps.


DO NOT LEAVE IT BLANK! I got an RFE for no zip code, attach a note stating that Jamaice does not have zip codes! DO NOT SEND WITHOUT NOTE!
