K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsi129f at nebraska service centre

They received my I-129F on february 2nd and on the 5th my case status was updated: On February 5, 2014, your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I130, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN.  Please check our website at www.uscis.gov for further updates on your case.  Please wait until the end of normal processing time before calling customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for live assistance.

 

I had plenty of hope... but nothing has changed since then. Is it your case too? concerning the status update?

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsi129f at nebraska service centre

We filed in April2013 to the Arizona office...but then received mail that it was being processed at the Missouri office.  Then in December we got a note saying it was transferred to Texas for quicker processing.  6 weeks later it was approved (130 and 129) and sent on to the State Dept in NewHampshire.  It took 2 weeks for it to get from Texas to NH,  then we were told they would contact us in 30 days...that turned into 60 and we were contacted by email that it was ready for further processing.  We paid the $88 to start the AOS and my wife submitted the 261 form online.   We called the NH office and they said that normally 10 business days after we submit the 261 form they would send another payment invoice for the 260 form which will be $230.  Normally 10 days but....they are backlogged and it is taking a bit longer.  Who knows anymore.  Whatever they quote you in terms of time frame never holds.  This has taken nearly a year now and we still are not up to the interview yet.  I'm frustrated for sure and I feel everyone's pain here as they wait.

I already sent off I-130 in Feb with payment ... I just want him to get a visa to get here..

 

You might want to call USCIS and inquire why the receipt notice not arrive.

How long does this form take to get approve ???

 

depends on the queue at the service center. 


DarnellMaleChina2014-04-06 21:25:00

depends on citizenship status of the petitioner.

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI130 and k3 pending need help

i agree. yes it was NOA2 but when i phonned the uscis office they said right now TSC is processing sept 30th 2013 cases then how these 2014 march and feb cases got approval? i dont get it. And i m really sorry for wat u goin through.its so hard being alone. I came to know nw a week ago that i am pregnant.My husband has multiple b1 b2 but he doesnt want to be turned away,he recently was here few months ago when we got married in USA.so he stayed for lil over 2 months.so he wants to come stay for a month but i knw it might not b a good idea 

 

please restudy the I-797 formletters that you received.

 

I am betting that there are only 2,

 

where the first one is the receipt notice for the I-130 and

the second one is the receipt notice for the I-129F.

 

Receipt notices are NOT approval notices.

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI130 and k3 pending need help


Hi there,i m us citizen got married in January 2014.My spouse was  in USA on b1 b2 multiple visa when we got married.Due to his job commitments he had to go back to Dubai.I applied for i130 in feb and k3 in march.Now both are pending.My problem is that my husband work visa is expiring in june.We applied the consulate as Dubai consulate for interview purposes.Now if his case doesn't get approved by may then its gonna b hard coz then by june he has to leave Dubai coz thts the law there.I dont know how he will take care of his interview stuff.Please help

 

 


Q22 on I-130, right? We applied the consulate as Dubai consulate for interview purposes

 

You can get that rehomed at NVC, during the Visa Application process, once the I-130 and I-129F make it over to NVC, after approval at USCIS.  Takes a telephone call with a supervisor.

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsPolice Clearance Issue

I already photocopied my personal copy and the first copy we sent to them. I'm just confused cause if they want my personal copy it only means they need 2 copies of police clearance cause we already sent them the first one. From others experience they only submitted 1 copy.

 

Yes, one original, (not copy) should be enough.  If they ask for another, send them a photocopy.  There is no point in arguing with them, and no problem for you to comply.


pushbrkMaleChina2014-04-18 08:03:00
K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsPolice Clearance Issue

 

My husband call them to double check if they got my police clearance in the packet. NVC said they have it, they told my husband they need another copy for the embassy. I am still doubtful if I need to send them my personal copy or I could just bring it to the embassy during the interview? 

 

Why argue with them.  Make a photocopy of your "personal copy" and send it in.  I agree though that the original NBI police certificate is all they actually need.

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportscase transfer

Your timeline says that you filed for a CR-1 (meaning just the I-130).  Your message indicates that you've also filed the I-129F, meaning for K-3 rather than for CR-1.  Please clarify your status.


TBoneTXMaleEcuador2014-04-21 23:22:00
K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-130 alien relative

The K3 is obsolete and even if you can get it, no faster than the CR-1.

If you are already pregnant and have not yet submitted the I-130, it is very unlikely he will be here in time for the birth.

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI130 and k3 pending need help

I think you missread those cases (maybe you mean til NOA 1?), or they were military expedites.  Looking at average processing times, you are looking at 10-11 months form filing to interview at this time.


Penguin_ieFemaleIreland2014-05-05 16:53:00
K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI130 and k3 pending need help

You won't get approved by June, the process takes about a year.

On the good news front, it is easy to change embassy to wherever your husband will work next/ his home country.  He can interview anywhere he is legally resident.

It's free to file the I-129F but twice as expensive in the long run. To each their own. Have fun!

I used to spend 1 week with my husband and then 3 months apart and did that from marriage  until I moved to the USA on my CR1.

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCan I apply for and receive a Social Security Card on a K3 visa

 

If you are waiting for a K-3, it will be transformed into a CR/IR.  K-3 are all but extinct.  With a CR-IR you will be able to apply for a SSN at the moment you land in the US. You will also be allowed to work and travel internationally as soon as you arrive stateside.

 

Good luck!

 

The OP already has an interview booked as a K3. 


NLRFemaleCanada2014-04-17 15:50:00
K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCan I apply for and receive a Social Security Card on a K3 visa

Not until you arrive in the USA, like K1 can.   You cannot work until you get the EAD but you should apply for your SSN as soon as you get there.   It'll say you're not authorized for work and you'll likely have to get a new card after the EAD or GC.

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK3 interview date confirmed!

This afternoon I received an email from the embassy in London informing me that as I have an approved i130 they have asked the NVC to forward my case to them and for me to submit the ds260. I have to inform them when that has been done. They will then schedule an immigrant visa interview appointment when it has been received and processed. So I'm now back on the cr1 route! Hope the NVC send that file ASAP!

Woot!!

 

Remember your spouse will need to send the I-864 for the spousal interview, not the I-134!! 


NLRFemaleCanada2014-04-09 16:22:00

Hey Kate52.  Can you do us a HUGE favour and fix your timeline to reflect your K3??  They're rare so it's important to others to get it on the books :D


PD April 10th, 2013 (I-130); I-129F (K3) filed immediately after.

Medical booked and interview confirmed at Vancouver Consulate 2nd week of May! 

Married 22+ yrs.  Yes, it's a K3! Let's hope it's proceeds!  I-130 still at NVC (just got case number). 

 

 

 

 


Tico are you going for the K3 or the Green Card?
