K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresadjudicating process
I would also like to know that since we got an answer from senator office that our application is in the process of adjudication.When they say it's in the process of adjudication does that mean that it has been assigned to an officer?

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresANY K3 FILERS FROM FEBRUARY STILL WAITING???
OMG I've just realized that it has been 300 days since we filed I-130!Had somebody told me when we filed that we would wait for so long I wouldn't have believed him! And here we are 10 months later still in the same position. I don't know about you guys but my patience is in the end.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresVSC Approvals / Touches - Week of Nov 10
My husband called NVC and talked to an officer and she said that both petitions are there and that I-129F will be sent to the embassy.Is there any other way to find out if I-129F has been sent to the embassy except for talking to an officer directly?When he typed the application number the message said that they have no record of that application but the officer said opposite.I'm so happy that my petitions were approved that I cannot think clearly! I'm so excited! YAY!!! kicking.gif

november 10th cases approved but only I130 reached NVC what happened to I-129F?

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresApproved
Thank you all, the reason why we want to follow K3 route is because CR1 route seems so complicated to us and we don't understand it completely, we don't want to go through all that trouble, we want this over as soon as possible. We don't care about the cost of AOS and all that. I'm so happy that this waiting is finally over, I'm guessing 2 more months for the interview which is ok because i'm going to stay here for new year's anyway.Thank u all I feel so relieved and so excited!

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresApproved
Thanks!!!My husband asked for expedite on I-129F and they sent us a letter saying that expedite request has been denied because I-129F was approved earlier in the morning.Then we called NVC and learned that both petitions were there.But we haven't received NOA2 hard copies nor emails.I think their system is still down.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresApproved
Both of our petitions were approved on november 10th.Can you please tell me how to check if I-129f is received by NVC?My husband called NVC number and chose option one for immigrant visas but when he typed I129f application number they said that they haven't received our case yet.However I-130 was received and case number was assigned.I know that everyone would advise me to go for I-130 but we really want to follow K3 so please tell me how to check if I129f has reached NVC.Thanks

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresFor the recent approvals thru VSC, how were you notified by USCIS?
First, we received a letter from VSC saying that the expedite request was denied because I-129F was approved earlier that morning.Then we called NVC and learned that both petitions were there. The day after, we received NOA2 for both petitions in the mail.However USCIS website still says pending.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresJanuary I-130 Filers
They don't apply to K3 because procedure at NVC is different for CR1/IR1.Once approved I-129F doesn't stay at NVC longer than couple of days and then it is forwarded to embassy.I-130 stays at NVC longer than that.Read James shortcuts carefully and you'll see that there cannot be shortcuts for I-129F.

I'm confused.When I last checked for updates on I-130 it said 03/16 and today I checked again it says 03/10.What is going on?How can it be going backwards?

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresJanuary I-130 Filers
My husband called USCIS today to inquire about our I-129F because it's been a month and we haven't got NOA1 yet.The person he talked to said she was surprised to have found the application at all because it wasn't supposed to be sent to Vermont but California instead.I don't know why she acted surprised when our I-130 was sent there from Chicago lockbox.She said they can work on it since the are not that busy.Anyhow,she found the application and said that we should expect NOA1 to arrive in a couple of weeks because of the holidays.We had two touches on our I-130 and it wasn't because they put the two applications together as I thought.

OMG! A touch!!!I hope it means something!By the way, we sent I-129F on feb. 18th and it was received at VSC on 19th but we haven't received NOA1 yet.Is that normal?

You don't need to use jame's shortcuts if you want K3 visa.This is used only for CR1/IR1.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresJanuary I-130 Filers
My husband called customer service to inquire about when to expect the receipt and they told him that he should wait up to 15 weeks to get it.They just told him what's already written on their website.I hope it doesn't take that long because we haven't filed 129F yet and we are not sure what to do next.If it takes that long for NOA1to arrives then there is no point in filing 129F.Well, we'll just have to wait and see.Good luck to all of you guys at your journeys.

I don't think the congressman was any help in terms of expediting this, but they were a great moral support and gave me a better insight into this process. I highly recommend those waiting for their approvals contact your congressman, but don't have high expectations unless you have a genuine expedite criteria or are outside of processing times....


anyhow, i am besides myself now.....NVC here I come!!!!!!!!!!!! kicking.gif

I received this notice via e-mail today at 2 PM when I was least expecting it. It's amazing how life has ways to surprise you when you least expect it!

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCan a denied tourist visa be a problem at K3 interview?
Thanks! I was worried because there is a question on DS-156 form if the applicant has ever been denied a visa and what type of visa. I'm relieved now.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCan a denied tourist visa be a problem at K3 interview?
They didn't tell me for sure why it was denied but I think its because I didn't show enough ties to my home country and they are very strict about that.I certainly hope I won't have any problems with that.

It took me a month to receive packet 3. I sent it right away and received interview date within a week. I called them a couple of times and each time they said that they had sent me the packet 3 but I still had to wait a while to receive it.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-130 approved, I-129F still pending
I wouldn't wait for my I-129F to get approved because VSC is at standstill with those petitions and you can't be sure that they whether they are going to approve it or not.I would pursue CR/1 because it's a superior visa and NVC time is much shorter now.I noticed that we have similar timelines and that we also got touched on the same day.My file was touched yesterday also but no sign of an approval yet.I hope that there is no RFE coming!Good luck at NVC!
