K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	I am sad.. =(	Hi GoGo, I know its frustrating, and just like you said, you are not in this alone. The fact that no one at USCIS can give you any reasons as to why our petitions are taking so long makes the waiting worst. If your anything like me, I can't even rest fully until my wife is here with me. Hang in there, and we will bring all of our love ones soon. Try and stay positive, (very difficult,) for fellow VJers, for your wife, and most importantly for your own peace of mind.	JG0407	Male	Brazil	2007-10-23 11:06:00

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	6 months to start processing or finish??	I was told the same as C and J. Although I've sent my petition in on 4/9/07, it took USCIS a month to open and input my data, so the date USCIS uses is 5/9/07.	JG0407	Male	Brazil	2007-10-30 13:46:00

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	still nothing for April filers??	Yes my pictures were 3 by 2 1/2 and not , 2 by 2. That was my only RFE. I still have a hard time trying to understand keeping families apart for something like this.	JG0407	Male	Brazil	2007-11-16 14:12:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	still nothing for April filers??	I received my RFE on November 9th asking for more pictures of my wife because the two photos I sent of her were to BIG. Until this RFE was sent to me, I heard nothing from USCIS, only that my I129F had been transfered back in June. So it took USCIS 7 months to let me know my photos were too big. I have mailed my new photos in which the California office has received on November 14th. I called to ask how long the photos would take to be recognized with my petitions, and USCIS told me to call 2 TO 3 WEEKS LATER. I have written my governor, senator, and 2 congressman,and a State Rep. I received an email back from the governors office saying that this issue was a federal issue to contact my congressman. I received a call back from one congressman's office, and they said my case was still within USCIS time frame. The others I have received a typical form letter stating the got my email. I had to stop looking on VJ because I was getting way to upset knowing others had received their RFE several months ago. And I also have a friend who filed only the I130, after I filed both of my petitions, needed RFE, and his 1 petition is at the NVC already. The frustration sets in because I feel helpless, and I can only hope that they approve our petitions soon.	JG0407	Male	Brazil	2007-11-16 10:49:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	approved March and April lucky ones	I think if they told us how the process works in CSC, and gave us a little more information about our petitions being reviewed when we called, that would help for the waiting. But leaving us in the dark without knowing, why, when and what....thats the frustrating part. All of us put our lives on hold.	JG0407	Male	Brazil	2007-11-01 09:46:00

I have no idea as to how CSC are processing petitions. C and J , many congratulations.. Maybe G & A's chart could be of some assistance in figuring out how many K3s are left to be approved. I am not sure CSC has an idea on how they are processing petitions. I think my hypothesis is close to reality on each ajudicator is like a cashier and it depends upon which checkout line your petition is in. Edp333, I think you are right. Depends on who is reviewing the petition. Good luck next week for those of us who have yet to be approved. And those of you that have been approved, please keep posting and sharing the info as you go on to the next step.	JG0407	Male	Brazil	2007-10-26 15:36:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	April K3 Filers	Sorry for my last post. But what I was saying is, why not give people proper information when they call, that way if people need to send RFEs they can start the process of sending the data.	JG0407	Male	Brazil	2007-10-26 12:45:00

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	April K3 Filers	Honey, I agree one word per day.. Talking with friends and family who have never gone through this process, cannot believe how long and frustrating a time we are having. But saying this we have to remain positive or it will eat us up inside. Some days I am border line crazy, especially after speaking with my wife. USCIS, whatever you all are doing, please hurry up.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	April K3 Filers	I have just called USCIS, and the customer service agent, who was very nice, told me it actually took USCIS almost a month to open and input my I130 petition. So although we are all April filers, USCIS is using the May "received" date, which gives them until November. My issues are these, are they going to wait until the last possible date to approve my petitions? , and why are they approving K-1's faster than K-3's, when we all filed and paid extra for faster processing. The agent could not answer my questions... I have heard nothing from USCIS concerning my petitions, the agent said that was a good thing, meaning they do not need additional information. My guess is as good as you alls in regard to how USCIS are approving petitions.	JG0407	Male	Brazil	2007-10-19 09:11:00

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	We are the longest one from Guangzhou, China	I believe USCIS are just hiring people to fill in positions. I called twice today and spoke to 2 separate Customer Service reps. I know more information than the Reps. Very frustrating. After the last Customer Service rep read the list of question from a computer prompt, and took my receipt numbers, I had to tell him that my petitions were in California, and that yes you need two petitions for a K-3. I mean unbelievable. I finally had to tell them at the end of the conversation, that it was not comforting for people who have been waiting 6months to a year for their love one, for the Reps to say things like " I don't know." and read back to me the same things I'm looking at right on line with my computer.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Question about RFE	Waiting for, If the RFE concerns both petitions, then both petitions will be held. In my case it was the size of my wife's photos for both petitions, so both were held. The good part for me was , once I gave them the proper photos, my petitions were approved within a week or two. But its very frustrating to call and have USCIS and have them tell you that you must wait for the RFE in the mail. USCIS usually gives you somewhere around 6 weeks to return RFE.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	I WAS WRONG!!!! (AGAIN!!)	If you felt that strong to make a post about your ill feelings with your wife, I think you should take a couple more trips to see your wife, before you bring her to the US to live with you, the results could be devastating. Really find out if you two are together for the right reasons. In a relationship people should want to be together by choice, not what someone can do for them. I wish you the best of luck.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	What happens in Brazil after we recieve interview date?	Yes we never got package 3. I called the consulate and they said just to bring the forms in at the time of interview. Also I was told they now use a courier service to deliver the passports after the Visa has been approved. I believe you will have to pay for this as well. I was also told that if you stay in Rio it should be delivered to you within a couple days.	JG0407	Male	Brazil	2008-01-31 16:09:00
