K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Important notice about k3 visa	I'm just pointing out the difference between filing a petition and applying for a visa. It is always helpful to use the correct terminology. There are numerous examples of confusion that occur as a result of referring to a petition as a visa application.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Important notice about k3 visa	In a nutshell.... CAN you apply for a K3.... YES ..... Should you ??? ..... My suggestion ..... NO Amen brother!! Actually, no, he can't, because he's a US Citizen. Only foreigners apply for visas. He can file an I-129F petition for his spouse but it's a bad idea. are we even talking about the same thing push? Yes, we are. I'm telling you that he can file a petition but he cannot apply for a K3 visa. Only a foreigner applies for a visa. We agree that to file the I-129F petition for a spouse in this case is a bad idea. For him to apply for a K3 visa is not an option. Hint: Don't confuse a petition with a visa application. They are separate things. Hint: If you are confused on what I am saying then please verify before jumping to conclusions, I thought I was clear but evidently I needed to spell it out for others....... In my opinion, should you apply for a K3 visa? No... can you still apply for a K3? yes, but they are unlikely to do anything with you I-129f petition I thought when you cut and highlight a quote, that you could just reference to that statement, didnt know I had to reply to the WHOLE context of the post... my bad..

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Important notice about k3 visa	Say Whhhhhaaat? Well, I am anxious to see how this actually plays out. Normally with anything it takes a little time to iron out all the kinks and implement something. How this effects us... well... all I have to say is I am happy that I have studied up on the CR-1 process But a little discouraged to think that even more time will have to be spent away from my Hubby. I agree with some of the other post, I am sure that they knew this was comming and you would of thought that they would of stopped taking applications. At the very least they could honor the petitions that were already filed. Then starting Feb 1 would be when this new policy would take place. Who knows, not saying that they are really thinking correctly, probably some man running it hehehehe JK Sorry I am a little bit late posting...

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	221(G) Letter	My fiance got the same letter. When he called they told him that the case is complete and they will contact him once the processing is done. So, I am waiting as well and added myself to the AP tracker. We are in internal processing. The consulate just recently stopped emailing me. My fiance usually calls them and they tell him that we are still in AP. Star Hey Star, which consulate were yall at? How long have you been in AP?	Amit-N-Melody	Female	India	2010-06-21 09:47:00
Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	AP @ New Delhi 2010	Thanks "Amit-N-Melody" You rocks with all the information... you knew that we are in AR- Administrative Review" We were told to submit documents to VFS offices... We are in process of making those documents, all are complete except for one that is expected to complete in couple of days. To me, it only make sense to call embassy after we submit the documents...(losing it) Am I correct? You will loose it alot during this stage... But calling the embassy will be the only sain thing that I can give you advice on doing So the answer would be "Yes" call the embassy... Good Luck Will be prayin for you +++++++UPDATE++++++++ HUBBY has landed at JFK airport... he is on AMerican soil... WOOT WOOT will post about everything soon!!!

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	AP @ New Delhi 2010	ooo on an after thought... when you are calling the embassy from the US you should dial 911124198062... I use Amantel as a calling service <love them> and normally when you call india you will have to dial 011 then 91 then number... I am not sure why... but you dont have to dial the 011 and you have to add a few more 111's	Amit-N-Melody	Female	India	2010-08-01 20:02:00
Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	AP @ New Delhi 2010	To anyone reading this that is going through AP at the New Delhi Consulate: On Monday the 26th my Husband called the Embassy to let them know that he was out of town on buisness and would not be returning for a few months. He wanted to confirm with them how they were going to contact him about this visa... I dont know if you have read my whole thread but they told him that they would call him or email in in a few days to a few months... well... they did neither... I called the embassy <I woke up at the witchin hour> and they told me that the visa was issued on the 29th.... to this day they have not called him/or emailed him... and when we call DOS they still have that we are pending AP... IMO, I think that you should call the embassy twice a week, on Tuesday and Friday... Forget about calling DOS they are just d!c&s and do not give you any useful information. My Husband was told by the embassy that they try to do everything in their power to complete the AP within 90 days... so the other websites that say this are pretty right on!! I am sorry in advance for anyone going through this... but honestly now that it is over... it didnt take that long... the months tick by and your crazy kicks in and before you know it you have had tantrums with everyone in congress including your own parents... my best friend at this time was a bottle of jack... and of course VJ... I honestly could not have gone through this process without YOU... VJ... I love you!!!!!	Amit-N-Melody	Female	India	2010-08-01 19:58:00

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	AP @ New Delhi 2010	Hubby called the embassy yesturday... He said that he talked to a really nice tempered girl.. <I'm not thinking this is the same cranky Lady> And, of course she said that we are still under AP. He then wanted to verify how the embassy was going to contact him because he was out of town on buisness... So she said that they would call him or email him in a few more days???? I was like 'say whhaaaat??' but after the 4th time of him repeating it too me I have come to the conclusion what this girl meant was that when the visa is ready they will call him and as we all know this can take a few days to a couple of years.... Sometimes I wish he would record his conversations with them so I wouldnt have to read inbetween the lines	Amit-N-Melody	Female	India	2010-07-27 11:21:00

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	AP @ New Delhi 2010	Melody my heart really goes out to you (as it does to everyone in this AP mess) I really wish I had some words to say that could make you feel better but I don't. I'm sure you have your good and bad days, but try to keep yourself busy and stay strong, and remember this too shall pass. I agree with the other post that you should take pics of your dishes. My fiance is from Egypt and I am practicing on my kids as well hehe. And thanks for sharing the video from your wedding, it looked like a very beautiful wedding. You are in my prayers!! OOo Thank you soo much.. it is nice to know that I am not alone But it sucks that we are having to go through this. I am planning on starting to take pics of the food that I am cooking.. Our poor kids <LOL> but I can say they have been lovin what I have been cooking the last few days. You looked GORGEOUS! Thanks for sharing part of your wedding video. This waiting is really killing me too. Poor FI's heart jumps every time his phone rings thinking it might be the Embassy. It is so hard to explain this whole process to people. They just don't understand why he can't just come here. I know the feeling very well, I am constantly checking my Husbands email and mine... My Hubby keeps his cell on him at all times and mine is on my pillow every night just in the hopes that me might call me with some good news. It sucks.. you know I agree and the ppl that it hurts most to explain why he isnt here is my children... they just dont understand and they want him here right now	Amit-N-Melody	Female	India	2010-07-19 14:17:00
Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	AP @ New Delhi 2010	And of course I recieved an email this morning... but it is the same generic bullsh!t that they emailed to me last week : Dear Petitioner: Thank you for your e-mail inquiry.

Please note that there is no definite time period for administrative processing. When administrative processing is required, the timing will vary depending on circumstances of each case.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	AP @ New Delhi 2010	Inspired by the Julie/Julia Project... I bought a book... '660 Curries' by Raghavan Iyer.. As Julia Child learned to cook at age 37 for her Husband, I am going to attempt to learn how to cook some edible Indian food for my beloved Hubby. I will assume that I have some more time before my Hubby is here with me... so.. this will be my little hobby until he comes... who am I kidding...This will have to be added to my list of hobbies But I can happily say that this one is just for my love. So far looking at this book it seems to be extremely over whelming.. I keep thinking to myself why didnt I get the book that had alot of pictures and only 100 recipies... I was reading this Modern Womans Guide on keeping your Indian Husband happy in the U.S. This guide says that if you ask your Hubby what his favorite dishes are that he will not have over (5). Were they serious?? I asked my Husband tonight... and he couldnt even tell me 1!! LOL.. he said that he likes Rajma...<sigh> So... I flip in my handy 660 Curries book... and there is like 20 Rajma recipies... geeez. He was trying to be helpful and sweet and told me that he will love anything that I cook for him.. As sweet and kissable as he is... helpful isnt on the list... sooo I will have to torture my children over the next couple of months... heheheh they might want to disown me when this is all over... Tomorrow starts Day One and we will be having Butter Chicken and Rice... yumm yummm My Rosetta Stone Hindi is intimidating me... it seems that it jumps drastically from level 1 to level 2... I havent given up... just it is going to take alot longer then I thought.	Amit-N-Melody	Female	India	2010-07-17 21:58:00

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	AP @ New Delhi 2010	Daya Mataji's private guidelines thoughout the years 1.) Think one thought at a time. 2.) Don't interupt when others are talking. 3.) Read books that require your concentration, that inspire and uplift you. 4.) Don't eat so fast (Rajarsi even chewed his water..<joke>) 5.) Exercise regularly 6.) Relax; dont get bogged down in the little things 7.) Learn to appreciate whatever you do; you are as important to God as any other child that has reached him 8.) Set aside time for seclusion to be alone with God 9.) Keep your mind at the Christ Center all the time 10.) Try always to follow in Master's Footsteps; Let his will be done with the work.
