K-3 route changed to IR1/CR1 route....

[JoanieD 0]

Dear Friends.....

Ok.......we started out this journey on a K-3 path.....and then abandoned it to go IR1/CR 1.......

When we started the K-3, my 13 year daughter were automatically included and we did not need to do a seperate I-130 petition for her.

My husband mailed the $70-00 AOS fee to the NVC and I my DS-3032 so far, and I informed my south-african consulate that we are abandoning the K-3 route, since the approved I-129F was sent here already.

But now it seems that we need to have filed a seperate I-130 for my daughter under IR1/CR1 regulations. Thing is.......we did not know that it would go the IR1/CR1 route and were still under the impression that she is automatically included.

Advice please.......should we continue on the IR1/CR1 route, or can we still file a I-130 petition for her?

How do we rectify this problem?

Must we pay the I-130 fee for her too? $350-00, right? and how does it catch up with the rest of our stuff

I guess to the USCIS?

My husband has been trying to get hold of the NVC for hours now to ask these questions, but with no luck....

Thank you for all the help and assistance.....
