I am a US citizen and my wife is on a K-3 (spouse) visa. Her I-130 was recently approved. We are currently living in the Netherlands on a temporary work assignment. We will be in the US for a few months before leaving again for the Netherlands. We plan to to return to the US permanently...

Is your wife on a K-3 visa? If so, does she even need to fill I-131? From the USCIS web site on advance parole: Most aliens who have pending applications for immigration benefits or for changes in nonimmigrant status need Advance Parole to re-enter the U.S. after traveling abroad. Aliens...

No format is necessary. Police verification/certification is a fairly common request. A constable will even visit the home of the Delhi resident and interview the neighbors. You should expect the report in a few days. Hope this helps. americandesi

Hi sbb911, I filed the I-129F petition in San Jose, California. Take care, americandesi

Anecdotal evidence suggests current time estimate, from the day of filing to the K-3 interview, to be around 4 - 5 months. The time each consulate takes to schedule the K-3 interview varies with location and is based on their backlog. It took around 2-1/2 months for our process to be completed...

Hi SM Reddy, I received I-129F 1st NOA on Jun 10 and the petition was approved Jul 3. So unfortunately looks like your process got delayed by around two months. Hopefully you should be getting approval soon. Do you know the embassy that will be processing your wife's K-3 visa...

Hi phillydude, They will figure it out, based on the documentation you submit (Marriage Certificate) and the way you fill form I-129F (there are minor differences - see instructions, question 12). And the answer to your second question is yes. You can marry now and bring in your wife on...

Hi EricL, It will be great if it works for you. How were you able to get the Police Certificate without any help from the consulate? We tried to get the certificate at the local police station but they wouldn't give it, saying that they will do so only after receiving the request directly...

New Delhi is way too slow also. My wife's I-129F was approved by NVC on Jul 3, the consulate received it within a week but they still haven't mailed the packet-3 :( This is despite the following directive to all diplomatic and consulate posts by BCIS: Timely Processing of K3 Applicants...

Hi Yinglang2, Sorry about that, the following is valid only for applications filed at the California Service Center. This is what the document says regarding I-824. Contacting the CSC ... Step 1: If you have questions about a case pending in the California Service center, send a...

Hi aug3102, According to form I-134: " Statement of your employer on business stationery, showing: 1. date and nature of employment 2. salary paid 3. whether position is temporary or permanent "

Hi yinglang2, After reading the I-824 threads it seems the time for consular processing is around 6 to 9 months. According to the National Customer Service Center booklet, the phone number to call for assistance related to I-824 is 1-949-389-3690. They should at least be able to tell...

How long does it take for the US Embassy in Delhi to mail packet-3 to the spouse after they receive the approved I-129F from NSC? It has been almost a month already and no packet-3 yet ... :mad:
