Hi Tony,

Finally we got approved on the I-129F already last week. My husand received the letter from INS. Could you please tell me how long will it take for the case transfer to US embrassy oversea? What I can do now or just wait till get the packet? Is it better to get a lawyer or just can handle by ourselves. How long will it take for the proceeding time? Also is it better for my husand to come over here to the US embrassy to be easier?
Thanks for your help!

How did you do it? It took you just one month and 13 days to get your wife to US. Can you summarize the steps you took to making this feasible within this limited time? Once again, I am so happy for you. Hopefully my joy will be full like yours one day.
Thanks for updating your status.

The additional document INS requested for is the marriage certificate which I think I sent the first time when the application was filed. In any case, I sent it to them together with pictures of my wife and I together. Hope that will satisfy their curiousity. I am just getting tired with the whole process. Just hanging in there anyway, since there is no other way to go.
Good Luck all !!!
Oluyi.

Hi!!! My name is Sharon. My husband filed k3 visa last nov. We recieved the 1st NOA last Nov. 15. Up to now, we haven't heard anything from them.

Everytime i check my status online it says there that it will take 60 and 90 days to process my visa. Im hoping they are right.

I hope that our visa will be approved next month. :D

Just curios, from the time INS requested for the aditional document from you to the time they actually approve your case, if you recall, let me know.
Thanks

wife here on k3 what's next?

Hi everyone, my wife is here in the US on a k3 visa. Does anybody know if I can file for an AOS before my I-130 gets appoved? I filed at the Texas service center and there are very slow. My I-130 was filed on 11/5/01 and still no word yet. They are still on 6/8/01 and I wonder if it ever gets appoved at the Texas service center? One more question when my wife arrived the Immigration officer took her K3 packet with all the medical exams that she took before she arrived. The I-485 ask for copies of her medical exam how do I get them back? Please help and tell me what I need to do next?

I recently asked the AOS question when I called the national service center. The officer said you must wait until your I-130 is approved.
 
hello

my husband filed for me a I-129f for a K3 visa recently. Our 1NOA is dated 21March....the processing time on it is 60-180 days , but on-line they say 60-90 days.
From your experience-how long does it take?it is more likely to take 90 days or 180 days...?
 
our timelines

i asked my husband again :
he sent the I-130 on 3-7-2003
I-130 received by VSC 3-10-2003
1NOA dated 3-14-2003
processing time was estimated : 150-990 days....

he sent the I-129f to Chicago on 3-20-2003
I-129f received on 3-21-2003
1NOA dated 3-24-2003

procesing time was estimated :60-180 days
he also recived a letter form his congressman's office on 3-28-2003, informing him they started to look up for his I-129f at MSC, and that they are going to continue to check the status of the petition...
He also checked the status of the I-129f on-line and the estimated processing time there was-60-90days...

I wonder if the country from which I come from has any importance...

Are you sure you got I-129f approved in less than a month?

If so Is it because of the congressmans help?Or is it because of the sheer coincidence or the chicago office being less busy these days?

Please clarify-
