I am applying for K3 visa. About a week after I send in the form I-130, I sent in the form I-129F but I did not attach the I-797 NOA to it. They approved both of the forms and send the I-129 tho NVC, then to Ho Chi Minh Consulate. My wife received the packet 3 for the K3 visa and she already turned it in too. We are waiting for the interview date. Since I did not attach the I-797 NOA for I-130 to the form I-129F, is there going to be a problem? Anyone has this happened to you, or any suggestion or advice would be greatly appreciated.....

matthias,

You are long past the point where you might have had a problem.

I didn't have the NOA1 for the I 130 when we submitted the I 129F.

We had no problems at all.

Thanks for all you guys input, greatly appreciated...
Hi Valentine, I did not get the receipt number from cashed check online. Before I send in my application, I went and talk to one of the USCIS(INS) agent, she told me to send in the I-130 first, then about a week after send in the I-129F, this way they would have my I-130 ready and won't be looking for it. I assumed that they must run on the same computer system, so they would know and that is what I did. I wish, I could have discovered this forum ealier then there won't be any concern now

After two-three months both of the form get approved, then they forward the I-129F to NVC then HMC consulate. We already turned in the packet 3 for about two months now, we should be receiving the interview date any time now, I hope.
Oh, one more thing, the I-130 still in the USCIS now, should I fill out the form I-824 to have it transfer to the NVC?

Thanks you guys/gals

You should only file the I-824 if you want to disregard the K-3 visa and pursue the CR-1. This will cost you $200 to file and nobody knows for sure how long it will take to process, some folks have said it takes about 6 months or so.
