I-129F(K3)

02/07/2008- Sent in the same package as I-130

02/08/2008- Received in Chicago

how come that you guys sent the I-129F along with the I-130, i was reading in the instructions for K-3 and it says clearly that you have to include a copy of the NOA-1 with I-129F package?

Thank you

Called USCIS told them to put me through to an immigration officer, asked him if I could and told him that my friend filed them both together and he said usually you should wait for the NOA1 for the I-130 but I could file both at the same time if I wanted as with everything going on the rules are a little bit blurred at the moment. He gave me some good advice, he even told me I should try and get my case expedited due to my husband being in the military.

Your best bet is to talk to an IMMIGRATION OFFICER before you send anything off as the people who answer the phones at USCIS as just about as much use as monkey with a handset... they know nothin

It was the same for us! We were told after I got screwed over that we should submit both forms together and contact our State Representative (whom we happened to know personally) and see if he could help us seeing as we are considered to be a unique case.

I wouldn't recommend submitting both at the same time unless you have talked to an official about your case.

Good luck!

any activity is good news at this point. it means they are actually working on your application and you can use the number off the back of the check to your status online. congrats!!

Hey everyone! I sent in my I-130 petition on Feburary 8th and I just got my NOA1 today! Thats good I guess. I read on the form however, that it can take years for a visa number to become availible. That sounds terrible, anyone like to elaborate on that one? I checked the NVS website and I couldn't find much on processing times.

Thanks! Good luck to all!

I couldn't check mine online either today when I saw the check had came through at a bank. I took a look at the check deposited and on the reverse side of the check there was the receipt number written on it. So I tried to check it and nothing. I then registered on the website at USCIS and I could then see the status of our I-130.

no don't worry visa numbers are automatically given to husband, wives and children. other relatives like moms, dads, sisters etc have to wait for a number to become available. congratulations on your good news!!
