I dont know what NOIR is but in order to file for a k-3 you're required to submit the I-130 and then the I-129F along proof of filing the I-130 ( typically the NOA1) from the I-130.

Do you have the I130 NOA 1 from you filing? If you do, include that and file for your k3.

in my mind it's simple logic......if you're not eligible for an immigrant visa then how could you be eligible for the non-immigrant visa that is the prelude to the immigrant visa. Then again , I'm not a lawyer and I don't know your circumstances. I wouldn't dare venture into speculation and suggest anything to you. My knee-jerk is that some lawyers will say anything to get your money.......of course you can apply for a k-3 and of course they'll accept payment but that's not guarantee the k-3 can or would be issued.
Im sorry there isn't more to offer you Chaingang.......but we're pretty limited to what we know. My advice would be to speak to a reputable attorney and lay out the facts for them. Don't use the yellow pages......ask around... do your research.
I wish you the world of luck

thanks for ur answer , 2 lawyers suggested me to wait for NOIR (notification of intent revoke) and this is what exactly i was thinking when they were talking about k3 , this is absurd if my I130 is denied how come my k3 will be approved, i think i will wait for my NOIR and keep on compiling my documents , and i have 2 lawyers in my list and they seems to be nice one is heather poole and other is charles kuck both are very coperative and suggest me wait for NOIR and then we will answer them , so i think no k3 for me its waste of time for me best route NOIR and answer them.
once again thanks to everyone for help
chaingang,
You are missing the point - you need to submit a marriage certificate, not a marriage license. Two different things, the license documents that you are permitted to get married and the certificate documents that you have gotten married.
Submit the correct one.

i do have that , the list of documents i have for k3 is as follows
.....
marriage license ( in both langauges)

I have a question for the forum. I am getting conflicting information from what my lawyer is telling me versus what the NVC representative is telling me. I received an email from CSC saying that my I-129F was sent to the NVC on the 23rd of May. From what I read on the FAQ and K3 guide in VJ, once the NVC receives the petition it is assigned a case number and then forwarded directly to the embassy. My lawyer is telling me that is not true. She said once the NVC assigns a case number, it is sent back to us with a packet that we have to complete (AOS) and send back to the NVC and then they forward to the embassy.
My situation has another twist. I have also filed for the I-130 and the NVC sent us the bar coded packet with the DS-230 and I-864 on 5/22 (we still havent received it).
My primary goal is to bring my wife here as quickly as possible since she is 5 months pregnant.
In my opinion, the K3 will be received in Venezuela before the I-130, but my lawyer thinks otherwise. If the information in the FAQ is correct that the NVC directly forward to the emabssy, the I-129 petition can be there as early as next week. Since we still havent received the I-130 packet yet, I am predicting it can take up to anotjer 4-6 weeks before the I-130 gets to Venezuela.
Can somebody help clarify? What would you guys do if you were in my situation?
