I am trying to figure out what your question is, but your post is very confusing and I don't understand the situation. I'm taking a wild guess that you have not got any responses for the same reason. Could you please clarify the question?

You know theI130 and the 129 are two distinct processes ...

the I130 - you just gotta wait. its not long overdue, its just a little over the estimated done time, and since you know that hey are working on slightly newer ones now, you can figure that yours is in a stack recently assigned to someone, which is good and 2 weeks isn't a crazy amount of time. just be patient, I would be optimistic about getting an approval or something in less time than that. maybe this week.

The k-3, sounds like it just isn't done yet. My advise is to just not call them for a few days. You can call 4 times a day and it still wont be done til its done.

the visitor visa...yes he can apply for one. If it keeps him busy for a while let him do it but you probably already know the likelihood of an approval for that. Maybe you could just go visit him again. It would be easier and its the same money.

I do not think you guys are being fair, I clearly understand her.

Question #1

Just wondering what everyone thinks about this it seems to me our I-130 is long overdue it's so confusing to know what's the real facts just need everyone's input on maybe what we could do to get facts calling seems not to be much help.

Question #2

it was possible to apply for a Visitors Visa which allows husbands to come to the United States for a short time to visit anyone know about this I’ve checked into information in the USCIS site just wondering if anyone knows of this or has done this any help would be appreciated

If she made one big run on sentence or not we are hear to help each other. I am not sure if you where being sarcastic or not, but the two post before the one at 8:11 am was not worth reading. I am not trying to act like the police, but I know how I want to be treated and if I see someone respond to my case I would rush to click it open just see someone say I wrote a run on sentence, when you can understand what she is saying. Anyway, I hope that every gives some valid input and maybe the information that is going to be gathered will help more than just her, maybe me because I would love to have my fiancé visit. But I hear it is not possible and when you get denied the visitor visa then it does not look good when you go and apply for another one. I was told it looks like you are trying anything to come to the US. I just hope that I will be able to see my baby soon. Inshallah. I hope you get some news soon, inshallah.

This poster has a history of posting run on sentences. Let me break down Hichamslove for you. Sorry if this sounds harsh but these are the facts. She.....

1. Does not have a clear understanding of the process and has not bothered to read up on it, despite the numerous attempts to help her by various members of the forums, thus leading to the confusing posts.

2. Seldom uses punctuation.

3. Spams the same post across multiple forums in hopes of getting some sort of answer, even though she probably has no idea what the question is herself.

4. Posts questions like "My friend wants to know if she should get divorced and file for K-1 since it is faster LOLOLOLOOL" When it is obvious she is the one asking it based on her total and complete lack of understanding of anything going on.

5. Gets mad when people don't give her the answers she wants and proceeds to post a "Woe is me, I'm leaving the boards" post.

This pattern of behavior is as predictable as it is annoying and really contributes nothing to this forum.

Hi I can't really help you with your first question, but in regard to your question about the visitor visa -- I honestly don't think you should waste time/money on it. My husband applied for one (when we were dating) and got turned down flat; it's almost impossible for men from developing nations (my husband's from Albania) to get visas just to visit. The whole burden of proof for a visitor visa is that he has reasons to go back home (big reasons like a house, family, wife, children, important job, etc). Since his wife is in the US, that's a reason NOT to go back after the visa expires, and since he has all these pending documents to come live in the US, this implies that he is ready to leave everything in his home country to come to the US, which doesn't look good for a visitor visa. I know it doesn't make sense that he would have all these documents in to apply to come here legally just to arrive on a tourist visa and break the law, but I don't think that will matter to the consulate people, honestly.

Of course, you can always apply and see what happens, but remember - it's like $100 non-refundable and it means more paperwork and possibly a bad consulate experience (my husband was all but laughed out of the consulate in Florence and that experience all but convinced him he'd get turned down for the K-1 too). BUT a rejected tourist visa application does NOT hold sway over a K-3/K-1 application; as I said, my husband was turned down for a tourist visa in 2004 and he arrived on a K-1 two months ago and no one asked him about the tourist visa rejection.

I know you've been waiting a long time, but try and hold on a little bit longer and remember that HE WILL GET HERE eventually. Good luck with everything!

I was not being sarcastic. I noticed her question had gone unanswered for quite some time and when I tried to answer it, I couldn't understand it. I don't see why you are making a hoopla over asking for clarification.

I have to admit, I read it and didn't answer because I couldn't quite figure out what she wanted to say, and I wasn't in the mood too decifer. I don't think it was harsh to ask for clarification. We just want to be able too understand so we can help her effectively.

I think it is important to keep in mind though that each individual persons ability towards comprehension is different. There could be a multitude of reasons for this. If this bothers you enough to be unkind you really don't need to post at all.

If the status date has changed to after your priority date then you need to wait 1 month. If that month is up then you need to call the USCIS and request them to do an inquiry. They request that you wait one month for a response to your inquiry.

I don't know much about a visitor visa, but from what I understand you must have a lot of ties too your country. This would be a good job, money in the bank, and property. If he has all of this then I don't see any harm in trying, as long as he is honest about the fact that he has a pending I-130.

Good luck.

Umm it wasn't harsh...I just truly didn't understand her question.

Should I have just guessed and BS'ed an answer??? I agree with Libersolis. He seems to have a pretty good grasp on the situation.
