Hello everybody,

I took the K-3 visa interview on 19th october in Casablanca (Morocco). I was given the 221(g) paper, and was told that the A/P will take about 2 months... if not longer as some VJ told me!!

In the other hand, my husband, in USA and he is the agent, is following the NVC Chart for I-130 (IR-1/CR-1). As you can see from our timeline bellow, he sent back the I-864 and it was received. He received today the IV Bill. He'll send back the payment tomorrow.

I have a couple of questions, and we'll appreciate your help

- Could you plz tell me what will be the next step in the NVC follow chart?!

- option #1 : What will happen IF the CR-1 case is complete BEFORE i get an answer from the consulate concerning my 221(g) for k3-??
OR
- Option #2 : What will happen in the opposite case, i.e if the A/P is complete and the consulate calls me to bring my passport before the IR-1/CR-1 is complete?!!

One more question : what is the "estimate time" to the IR-1/CR-1 interview when the agent pays the IV Bill ?

Thank you in advance for your help & your suggestions!!! we really need them at this specific time

PS : My husband is coming, in the next couple of days, to visit me in Morocco for a 4 weeks vacation.

i believe that the K3 will be replaced by the I-130. i'm not sure but i've seen some members with this kind of info on their signatures. i'd call the NVC to make sure.

as far as once the IV bill is complete for I-130, you wait for the DS-230 to be generated and sent. part 1 of the DS-230 will require a signature from the beneficiary so i suggest that the beneficiary complete this part as soon as possible and mail it to the petitioner to avoid delays. also, check with other members for supporting documents since it varies for each country. since we're doing james shortcut, i had my wife fill out the DS-230 and signed part 1 about a month ago. she sent it to me along with extra signed, blank copies of part 1 just in case. i also checked with other members to see what other documents we need. these documents included police clearance, marriage certificate, passport copies, etc. again check with other members with the same country. once we heard the DS-230 has been generated, i sent the package to the NVC. they received it last friday and now we're waiting for our case to be completed and forwarded (assuming it's complete)

good luck
