K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	JANUARY APPROVAL, Let's do NVC together	Ok a little help please!!! What is AOS and DS-3032 ?? My i-129f for a k3 visa was approved in January. Before i even knew it had been approved it was sent to NVC and forwarded to my consulate. I then e-mailed asking if they had recieved my case and they had so they e-mailed me my packet 3. Once i had completed the checklist and stuff i was able to e-mail them back and they set me up for an interview straight away. Passed my medical and now my interview is next week but i have no idea what everyone is talking about when they say AOS and DS-3032 and some bill or something. PLEASE HELP!!!

Does anyone know what paperwork it is? Id like to start getting everything ready as things in my country seem to take forever to get a hold of. Any help would be so appreciated. Thanks Kirst I found also more info about K3 Visa on the website of the U.S. Department of State: Applying for a Visa The embassy or consulate where you, the spouse of an American citizen, will apply for a K-3 visa must be in the country where your marriage took place. Here are the procedures to apply. The embassy or consulate will let you know any additional things to do, such as where you need to go for the required medical examination. During the interview process, an ink-free, digital fingerprint scan will be taken. Some visa applications require further administrative processing, which takes additional time after the visa applicant’s interview by a Consular Officer. The following is required: Two copies of form DS-156, Nonimmigrant Visa Application One DS-156K, Nonimmigrant Fiancé(e) Visa Application form Police certificates from all places lived in since the age of 16 Birth certificates Marriage certificate for spouse Death and divorce certificates from any previous spouses Medical examination (except vaccinations) A passport valid for travel to the United States and with a validity date at least six months beyond the applicant's intended period of stay in the United States (unless country-specific agreements provide exemptions). Two nonimmigrant visa photos, two inches/50 X 50 mm square, showing full face, against a light background) Proof of financial support (Form I-134 Affidavit of Support may be requested.) Payment of fees, as explained below Have a look at this limk for more details : http://travel.state....types_2993.html Can i ask you where did you file your i-129f?? It looks like on your time line that your docs where apporved in about a month. How did you manage that?? HELP!!! lol	kirstg	Female	South Africa	2008-10-15 07:13:00

We received our 1st NOA about a week later. Im just wondering if anyone has an updated idea how how long it will be until we receive our 2nd NOA?? I also keep looking at the USCIS website at the processing times and really dont understand quite how to read it. A week ago it send for september they were processing forms from Feb 2008 - now it says for July 2008 its processing forms from Feb 2008. Im very confused! Does that mean the processing time has shortened? im so baffeled. my husband and i got married in Feb of this year and he had to return to the USA in April. So we have been apart since then and its just too long. I have seen post that it takes 8 months to process the I-129F then i have seen post that say 3 months. Any help would be so apreciated. I am desperate!! Thanks so much xoxox #1 ignore anything you see about timelines on the USCIS website. They are required to post them and do so in a manner designed to reduce phone calls, it is in no way accurate or meaningful to you, the consumer. It is meaningful to them (reduces phone calls) and to bloodsucking immigration attorneys who use the inaccurate information to demonstrate how they will get you a visa "faster than normal" which is, of course, complete BS but if you are a bloodsucking immigration attorney, truth of is little interest to you because if you were truthful you would have no immigration clients at all. 'nuff said? It has nothing to do with actual processing times. Check the VJ timelines which are based on actual experience. I filed my I-129f in Vermont in March and got the NOA2 in May. 61 days. Could have had visa in hand in about 110 days but could not make the first interview date offered, our problem, not theirs. If you put your timeline in at your VJ membership it will give you a much more accurate estimate of when you will receive your NOA2. Gary I don't think any of the timelines are accurate. You are correct that the USCIS timeframe shows a date to help limit the number of calls from petitioners and Congress that they must address. VJ timelines don't consider expedites and the sample size is small. This means that if someone who filed in November is finally approved, the VJ timeline will alter your approval date. If someone files an expedite and their petition is approved in a matter of weeks, the timelines are altered. My timeline date on VJ showed September 16th all the way up until September 14th. Every day I look at it, it moves out about 4 days... so I just stopped looking. As Gary's post shows, Vermont processes K1 applications much much quicker than they process CR1/IR1 or K3 applications. I also filed both my I130 and I129 in March (K3) and I am still waiting on an NOA2. Good luck with your journey! No with the VJ timeline shown on here why does that keeo changing? one day it says that my forms will be adjudicated between march 20 ad april 2009 then the next day it say they will be adjudicated between 14 Feb and March 2009? I JUST DONT GET IT!!!! LOL I feel like im going crazy cause we have no definate timeline to go by. so how can i keep checking this timeline if it literally changes every single day. it now says that my I-130 will be adjudicated before my I-129F!! Im so confused. i just want a month to look forward to and just when i see some light at the end of the tunnel the dates move.	kirstg	Female	South Africa	2008-10-30 05:30:00

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Vermont Processing Dates	QUOTE (cjgator @ Nov 6 2008, 03:18 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The people that you hear say they are processing june and july are feeding you a line of BS. If someone with those dates is getting processed it is because they got blindly lucky and slid into the system. Both national and VSC have agents have reported directly to me on the phone over numerous discussions within the last 10 days that they are presently processing March, and all you have to do is look at the numerous posts of people waiting on this website, or go to Igor's list to see who is waiting and who has just been approved and you will see where the timeline is at. My NOA1 for my I 129F was 4-4, and my case was just sent to an officer on 11-1. Another guy, CJ Vasani, has dates very close to me also and was just assigned an officer on 10-28.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	K3 Visa approvals for December 2008	QUOTE (Mrs Rhoades @ Dec 12 2008, 01:48 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (siyaram @ Dec 12 2008, 04:03 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mrs. Rhoades - Congratulations. Can you please fill up your timeline or let us know when you sent your I-130 and I-129F and when did you get your NOA1? That could help the rest of us to guage VSC's working timeline. I applied for I-130 in fed, and got NOA1 on 27th march. I applied for I-129 in july, and got NOA1 on 1th august. I called the congressman and some one at USCIS told him that they were doing late feb, march and some april. So even when VSC is so slow it is moving along. Don't give up keep on going at it. WOW You sent you I-129F in july and already got an approval??? Thats awesome! Congrats. Does this then mean that they are going by i-130's now??? IM SO CONFUSED!!!!	kirstg	Female	South Africa	2008-12-12 01:20:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	K3 Visa approvals for December 2008	WHAT IS GOING ON AT VERMONT THIS WEEK!!!! Not one approval!!! AAARRRGGGGGGG!!!! LOL Sorry iam very frustrated! as im sure all of you are too! I just really dont get this process. To keep loved ones apart for so long is just so cruel! Especially this time of year! I just wanna start my new life with my husband and have my happily ever after! lol	kirstg	Female	South Africa	2008-12-11 07:03:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	K3 Visa approvals for December 2008	Congrats to the two of you that got approved. Still though, only two this week?? thats just disgusting!!! And to be honest i hope that the I-129F NOA date is irrelevant cause i only filled that in August but filled my I-130 in May. And i have seen someone who filled their i-130 in May and their 129f in July and they got their NOA2 for their K3 last month. I wish we really knew how this thing worked and they stuck to what they say they are doing. but they say one thing then it changes 5min later!! How can we keep up!!! Well lets just hope we get some more approvals today and the process hurries the hell up!! Good luck everyone	kirstg	Female	South Africa	2008-12-05 07:47:00

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	K3 Visa approvals for December 2008	Hi all Thought id start this thread to see if we have any K3 approvals as yet!!! I have seen one so far but all the other approvals seem to be K1 or CR-1!! Or K3 approvals from CSC! Have you seen that someone from CSC was approved in like 3 months! They got there NOA1 in November and NOA2 now in december!! What happened to Vermont??? ANY ONE WANNA JUMP OFF A BRIDGE WITH ME!!! So as you can see im desperate for some good news so please if you have had an approval or even an update please post here. Good luck to all and hope you all get a speedy approval! My heart goes out to those who are Feb/March/April filers. I only got my NOA1 in August and im loosing my mind!!	kirstg	Female	South Africa	2008-12-03 01:40:00

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Vermont picking up the pace????	aaww man that would be incredible!! feels like i have been waiting for ever!!! lets hope they pull their finger out now and start processing them quickly - get rid of the so called "backlog" so we can all be with our loved ones again!! Hows your journey going Deepak?? as frustrating as mine? i understand what it feels like seeing people who applied the same time as you or even after you and have been approved! Have you seen all the K1's that have been approved!!! aarrggg its very frustrating. people who filed in september for their k1's have already been approved! how wrong is that! well lets just hope there is good news on the horizon for us all.
