Hi,

 

I am the USC. Filed for my husband back in NOV (I-130, I-485, I-765 etc). Filed for my step-son I-130 in march. 

I would like him to get a K-4 so that he can come soon, do I now apply for the I-129F?

As already said above, the child could only get a k4 as a derivative of a k3, which is not your case

My husband is currently awaiting AOS...From a B1/B2 visa.

 

We already applied for the I-130 for him and my step son. 

 

Husband is here in NYC. Step-son is still in Jamaica.

 

Should I apply for the K-4 to get him here quicker?

Stupid is a strong word, but the K4, even in the extremely rare case you can get it (about 0.2% chance, most are closed at NVC stage), won't get him here faster.  This used to be the case years ago when the CR-1 took several years, but right now, both processes take 12-14 months.

Can't get him on K4 unless your husband is K3 I believe. You can try applying for an expedite on humanitarian grounds, wanting him to be able to get into school for September etc. Think outside the box. Expedites are free to request. You either get it or you don't and won't affect anything unless you are successful. 

Cateogory: CR1

  • NOA1/Notice of receipt: Sept. 15, 2015
  • NOA2/I130 Approved: February 8, 2016 (NO RFE) :)
  • Process slowed down by us
  • Sent documents to NVC: April 11, 2016
  • Scan date: April 14/ May 7th (NVC said both I dont know why)
  • Case Complete: May 31, 2016 (No checklist) :dancing:

August 17, 2016: Visa Approved!!!! :dancing:
