Philippines	I-130 APPROVED 21 DAYS FROM FILING :)	QUOTE (MJ3lasvegas @ Aug 26 2008, 08:11 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (ryandgracey @ Aug 26 2008, 03:36 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi guys! I was awakened at 3:48 Manila time by a YM message from my husband saying that he got the I-130 approval notice in the mail for both me and my daughter. We had filed that July 28th. The NOA1 was dated July 31st and this one was dated Aug 18th. really fast, we recieved NOA2 2months and 15 days after we got our NOA1. lucky you! QUOTE (ryandgracey @ Aug 26 2008, 03:36 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It said there that the original docs have been sent to NVC. We have not yet filed our I-129F (thanks to the ever-dependable Philpost and USPS...dapat last week pa nakarating sa kanya)..but will in the next couple of days (ki-nourier ko na). the application for I-129F (K3 route) should have been submitted right after you received your NOA1 which was last 31st of July. Since you're I-130 has been approved then id say you should set aside the thought on the K3 process and read more now on the CR1/IR1-CR2/IR2 visa process. now a days, the USCIS (though it has not been clearly told to the public) simply waives the K3 visa application once the I-130 has been approved. why i know about this, based on experience plus i really asked someone from USCIS to clarify the whole thing to me since we were thinking of going through the K3 route. QUOTE (ryandgracey @ Aug 26 2008, 03:36 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It is my understanding that NVC will notify us and the USEM? What should happen next? Are they going to wait for the I-129F? TRUE, you will be notified, but NOT the USEM just yet but by the NVC. they will send you DS-3032 (Choice of Agent) for yo to proceed with the visa process (now, understandably on the CR1/CR2-IR1/IR2 route). it is best that your petitioner (who has an address abroad - USA address) be your Agent, that is if you have NOT hired an attorney to assist you through the whole process. next comes the fee bills for the I-186 and Immigrant visa application...so on and so forth.. QUOTE (ryandgracey @ Aug 26 2008, 03:36 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Admittedly, I had only been asleep for about an hour when the message came and have not been able to sleep again (halata bang excited?), thinking of all that needs to be done. its normal to feel that way, i once did..lol. just stay focus, follow whatever they need you to do and pray of course.. So we need not/cannot file the I-129F? And even if we do file for K3, USEM would disregard it and ask for CR1/CR2-IR1/IR2 instead? I am really confused with this turn of events. We wanted to file for K3 as the process is faster. We were not expecting so quick an approval and we are surprised as well. And he hasn't slept that well too!	ryandgracey	Female	Philippines	2008-08-26 09:55:00
