K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNeed advise on K3
Hi can someone please tell me what happens next after the K3 petition has been
approved? Also the I-130 says it will take between 150-999 days to be approved
nothing has moved on it it appears that it is taking around 4-5 months before
they even start to look at it..Also I am going to need a co sponsor what is required
from them? And do I need to show all of this for the K3 interview? Sorry for sounding
so stupid on all of this..I am very confused and nervious about it all...




Thank You

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresquestion about SSN


So once he comes back to the US he can just apply for a lost card?


With K-3 status he can't be issued a replacement card until he is issued an EAD card or after the AOS is approved and is issued an I-551 stamp or card.

In the meantime, he can go into any SSA office and request an SSN Verification Printout. That will give him some proof of his assigned SSN until he's eligible to be issued a card.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresquestion about SSN
Hi
Prior to getting married my husband had been in the US for about 4yrs...He had been issued a SSN..
He has not been in the US since late 2003..My question is once he is back in the US on a K3 will he need
to apply for a new SSN or will he continue to use the one they issued him before?


Thank You

This is probably a good start



For a car, you'll have to get a compliance letter from the manufacturer. You then take the compliance letter with the vehicle title and registration to the CBP. They will stamp the compliance letter and the title work.

Hi as for a vehicle title from what my husband has told me they don't have title's....All they have is a
ownership paper that you carry in your vehicle..Kinda like the registration paper we carry in our vehicles in
the US...Very odd I thought.. :whistle:

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresOMG!!!K3 sent to Montreal 2day:)

That is great! Congrats on getting to Montreal and hopefully you have a faster interview then I do.

My case was sent to Montreal in December. I received packet 3 Jan. 9 and returned in Jan. 20. I still do not have an interview date. I actually called them a couple days ago and they said they are now scheduling interviews for mid april and I should expect to have one at the end of april or early may.

Keep us updated on your case!


HI
I hate to hear that I called Montreal today and they said it is taking between 4-6 months to get
an interview..So I ask the guy if I could transfer my husbands case to Vancouver and he said
as soon as my husband sends back packet 3 to them then yes they could do the transfer..Vancouver
is giving interview dates 2-5 days after recieving packet 3...So to me it is worth the $1000.00
for us to fly there and back to Toronto for a faster interview...Good Luck to you..

Hi
Sorry for being such a pest here...We are trying to get everything in order ahead of time..
Can someone please advise on going to the US on a K3 then applying for EAD? How does it work
if you applyfor EAD before applying for AOS? And how long to you have on a K3 before having
to apply for AOS?
Is EAD valid for a shorter time if you get it before applying for AOS? We are really confused about all this
Again sorry for all the questions..



Thank Everyone In Advance

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHelp with packet 3


Hi

On the form DS-230 line 21A It asks Person(s) named in 14 and 19 who will accompany you to the US now?
Line 14 asks Name of spouse so of course I have to put my name there...right?
So since my name is there do I have to put it on Line 21a as well?



Thank You
Michelle


Line 21a: If anyone (child/children) will accompany your husband, then write down his/her/their name(s) and info. If your husband have no child/children, then the answer is "NONE."

HI
I know the answer is none as far as child/children...But 21A says list person(s) listed in 14 and 19....
14... It asks for name of spouse and 19 asks for name of child/children...There is no child/children
but I am listed on 14 so there for I wanted to know if I needed to be listed on line 21A as well...

Hi

How many police certificates do we need to get? I know of one for the K3..But should we get any other copies? For the AOS or anything? How long are they valid for?

Thank You
Michelle

I can only answer for England police certificates & they are good for 1 year!!............not 100% positive but i think the police certificate is only needed at the embassy/consulate!!....and has to cover ALL places lived from the age of 16 :thumbs: so different country=different police certificate :yes:


OH NO!!!!!!!!! You mean he has to obtain one from India as well? How will this be possible?


Michelle

Michelle i found this thread, i dont know if it will be any use to you, but ya never know, Good Luck!!
http://www.visajourn...?showtopic=5534



Hi

Euro, I appereciate you very much for finding that thread, But it appears that this is a person already in India...
The problem here is my husband is in Canada now and hasn't been in India since 1999..And we fear it is going to be very hard to obtain one from there..We have the one from Canada already..Would you or anyone on here know if this is going to create a problem if he can't obtain the one from India? I believe
that the USA had got a police certificate on him when they issued him a F1 visa in 1999 and he hasn't been back to India since..I don't know if this would make a differance..They can see from his passport that he
has not been there..I don't know I am so freakin STRESSED!!!!!!!!! I can only hope it gets better..

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHas anyone seen this?
CNN) -- Thousands of demonstrators marched in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Thursday to oppose tough anti-immigration legislation sponsored by their Republican congressman Jim Sensenbrenner.

House Resolution 4437 would make all undocumented immigrants felons and require all employers to verify the immigration status of its employees.

The House already has passed Sensenbrenner's bill, and Sen. Bill Frist, R-Tennessee, has introduced a companion bill in the Senate that also would make it a felony to be in the United States without the proper paperwork.

Sensenbrenner said in a statement last year that his bill would help "regain control of our borders and prevent illegal immigration" as well as "help strengthen and promote our compassionate and welcoming legal immigration system."

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMontreal vs Vancouver
Hi..

Which one is faster at processing interview dates Montreal or Vancouver? I looked at the Embassy websites
and Montreal says 2-4 months wait time for interview date..Vancouver says 3-5 days from when they recieve
the check list and the DS-230 back..When I called the MEAN woman at the US Embassy in Montreal yesterday
I was asking her the precedure about transfering from Montreal to Vancouver for a faster date..She became very nasty and told me that Vancouver ws no faster then they are..So I told her what the website was showing shse said she didn't care about the website this was her job and she knew what she was talking about..So needless to say she would not tell me how to go about transfering the case..Can anyone advise on this issue? Or share your stories please..

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWaiting for interview in Montreal
Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone else is waiting for a K3 interview date in Montreal with a packet 3
Embassy recieved date on or around March 23,2006?
The Embassy recieved my husbands' packet 3 on March 23,2006 and no word from them
yet....I had called them about a week after they recieved it and I was told that he was on
the list for a interview date, And they were scheduling for late April early May, and he
should be getting a letter in about 2 weeks, So I phone back last week and this time I am
told that May is already full and they are now scheduling for late June early July...That the
April and May, time slots went to the people that had their packet 3's in since January, mid
Febuary...I guess we are just very anxious for this to be over with...

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresHas anyone from Vermont gotten approved?

hi my service center is vermont as well and since we have sent the I130 and got the NOA1 they havent even updated their processing dates....or maybe they did and I missed it but they are still processing december.

Good luck
Isabel


Hi

About the I-130
I had my Congressman call Vermont for me on Wed. since they hadn't changed their dates
for awhile and the Congress office was told that they are now processing Dec. 15, 2005 for
the I-130 that they have a big back log..But they didn't go into why there was a back log.
So maybe if they update today perhaps they date will be beyond Dec. 15, 2005. One can
only hope.
