K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK3 - What to do next? I129f was approved first then came I130 approved after a week. Confused of what's next.

Hi every one, I have almost the same situation.... Approval done same day.... In AM approved I -129f & in PM approved I- 130, on 08/15/2014 (case field 06/12/2014) so ? What is the next? I really don't know except WAAAITT ?

Usually, same day approvals

mean

that the 2 casefiles will travel together into NVC.

 

Once at NVC, a clerk will see the two casefiles, and administratively close the I-129F, as it's basis for travel for a K-3 visa, an unapproved I-130, doesn't exist anymore.

Hello guys!

 

I just want to ask for those who know what's next once I129f gets approved and then I130 gets approved after.

Do we still go for the I129f or this is now automatically converted to CR1?

 

We were very happy that I129f got approved first but then I130 got approved after a week too so now we're a bit confused.

 

Thank you in advance! =)

converted? 

 

you are using wrong language. 

 

you have dual paths for 2 visa types. 

 

No conversion possible.

you'll have to wait for casefile intake at NVC , for any further determination.

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApproved for both I-130 and I-129f

~~~ moved to K3 progress reports from IR1/CR1 process and procedures as OP is on the K3 path and is updating the case~~~

 

 

You need to start calling the NVC in a few weeks to find out which case gets a number first.  That will determine if you can continue on the K3 route or if the NVC stops it.

 

(You can choose of course to wait for the I-130 to get the case number and get the CR1 visa instead of the K3.) 

 

Not sure where you're getting this idea the OP is actually on a path that will lead to a K3.  I get that it was there intention but what are the chances, really?  When did you last see two petitions approved on the same day, with the I-129F not being dead on arrival at NVC?  IMO, you are leading the OP down a path of disappointment by providing such false hope.

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApproved for both I-130 and I-129f

Yay..finally got approved for both applications..what's next?

 

No application for anything has been approved.  You filed petitions, the second of which slowed down the approval of the first.  Next they will both go to the National Visa Center where the waste of filing the I-129F will culminate it its execution by banishment to a dark corridor never to be seen again. 

 

Time to learn the NVC process for the immigrant visa process.  K3 died several years ago but its image is well preserved on out of date web pages.

CR1 is a better bet. You probably will not get a choice anyway.

**Moderator hat off**

 

A small number of Embassies and Consulates will allow the petitioner to be in the room (in some it's a de-facto requirement).  However, most Embassies and Consulates will only allow the interviewee in the room.

That does not mean an approval. Did you change your address? Plus your lawyer would not be able to give you an exact date like that.

What is your I-129F online status?

Okay, im going to call tomorrow and see what they have to say. Do i have to wait the 60 days for the k3 visa packet to be sent to the consulate in mexico?

 

 

Thank you for your help, I see that a lot of people are at the same page so it makes me stronger :)

 

really you'll have to wait to find out which path you're even on before you can make plans.  The NVC can still close the k3 path to you.

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI want to know what happens after the i-129f is approved and sent to NVC!

You are correct i called my attorney today and i finally had the chance to speak to him and he said that we might have to wait up to 60 days for i-130 and we need to get a letter from NVC where its going to let us know if the i-129f went through or if it was automatically closed!.. when should i call NVC to find out if they have recieved my packages? 

 

you can try but it normally takes at least 2 weeks for the packages to get to the NVC from the USCIS and sometimes up to 8 weeks.

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-130 and I-129 F Approved
You have to call the NVC to see I'd they have a case number for the I-129F and if it remained open.

Hi
 
In my case both I-129F and I-130 have reached NVC and NVC had assigned case number for I-129F (Oct 6th). We thought they are going to process I-129F. When my husband called NVC again, they said they will cancel I-129F and it will take another 3 weeks or so to assign case number for I-130 :-( . I was hoping that they would process I-129F.
 
 
I-130 Sent : 2014-04-01
I-130 NOA1 : 2014-04-04    
I-130 Approved : 2014-09-03
 
NVC Received :
 
I-129F Sent : 2014-04-14
I-129F NOA1 : 2014-04-19
I-129F Approved : 2014-09-03
 
Reached NVC : 2014-10-06
Case number for I-129F : 2014-10-06
 

















Well that sucks if you were hoping for a k3 but pretty normal. The NVC has been speeding up.

You wait until you can call the NVC to see which file will be processed first.  If can go the K3 route, and choose to, you follow the guides for that route (which will be very similar to the K1 route for your country.)  If you must or choose to go the CR1/IR1 route, you will follow this wiki: http://www.visajourn...php/NVC_Process

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-130 and I-129F approved !!

Hi VJs

 

I got approved for my I-130 and I-129F, I-129F was approved at august 4 and then I-130 at august 7

 

I submitted them to VSC at April 2014,   but at july 15 the I-129F was transferred to TSC while I-130 stayed at VSC

 

my wife recieved E-mail notification about both and today we received the I-129F noa2 by mail, its said its going to NVC now

 

is there any thing important to know for the coming steps ??

 

thanks for help and goodluck everyone

 

information are in my timeline

 

Read up on the NVC Process http://www.visajourn...php/NVC_Process

 

Don't know what will happen to the I-129F more than likely it will be closed at NVC or they may let the I-129F continue through to embassy if that happens I would surely take that route since the NVC now has almost come to a halt.

 

Start calling the NVC in about a week or 2 to get case# and you shoud know which path you will be able to take.

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWait Time

oh ok i see!! Thanks so much for your information!

 

Honestly you need to be reading up on the NVC Process and getting prepared for when your I-130 is sent there. Alot to know and its changing everyday and right now its 3 to 6 months there so knowing how to operate through NVC is vital.

 

Like right now while you wait you can have all your tax documents together. Making sure you have filed the last 3 years. But read the wiki below.

The correct answer to that question is obviously "Yes".

Intentionally providing false information on any official immigration applications could be considered misrepresentation, and is a federal crime (perjury).

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK3 does exist

My i129F was approved first. As far as CR1 being a better choice, i believe that would apply for most people, however, the cost of going to visit my wife every few months is by far more expensive than the extra $1000 I will pay for going the K3 route.

 

The timing of either petition is about the same anyway. We spent the money thinking the same as you but found out different. Hopefully your case will somehow move forward faster but other than a little more processing at NVC its the same.


NingFemaleThailand2014-08-17 13:08:00
K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK3 does exist

For those who are contemplating or have filed the k3 visa it DOES exist. My wife just interviewed at the consulate today and I am thrilled to say it has been approved! I have been stuck at NVC with the I-130 since June and I was preparing myself for the bad news that the consulate would tell her at the interview that the K-3 was no longer valid, however, they went ahead and approved it today.

Do not give up hope and don't believe when people say it doe not exist. It doesn't hurt to pursue it and in some cases like mine it actually works.

Good luck to all of you.

Its true that people can pursue the K 3 but they would be far better off to get a CR1.
 


NingFemaleThailand2014-08-17 11:41:00
K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportshelp me please ?

Don't believe anyone who gives you an exact date in the future that it will be approved, no one can know what day it will be approved. You are still in processing.

 

Do you have a joint sponsor for when you reach the AOS stage. If you don't have someone to file the affidavit of support you will never make it to the interview stage.


belinda63FemaleIran2014-08-26 12:10:00
K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportshelp me please ?

Your application is processing. It will be sent to NVC when it is finished the initial processing. At that point some fees will have to be paid and the affidavit of support sent/emailed in. Has your wife gotten a joint sponsor yet?
